- Enjoy this close look at one of the most legendary and memorable bikes off all-time. It’s Ricky Carmichael’s 2001 Kawasaki USA KX 250. This is one of the machines that helped Carmichael become the “G.O.A.T.”
I was fortunate enough to do an entire full engine rebuild on that model. The engine was super easy to tear down. Pop the crank bearings in the freezer for the night and then use a heat gun to expand the crank case so the bearings drop right in the hole. That is literally the only challenging part you will come across during the rebuild and it wasn’t even hard. Super easy bike to rebuild
I graduated in 2001 and my mom bought me a 2001 kx 250 for my graduation. I actually got into Kawasaki back in the 90s when mike larocco and Mike kedrowski raced for Kawasaki lol
Best mom ever!
I graduated in 2012 and my mom bought me a kx 100 lol
I just got a cherry 2001 KX250 last year. What a monster
🐐 RC & KX👍 I Still Miss my Ol' 1991 KX250 I Reckon it was One of the Sexist KX's Ever Made with Blue Anodised USD Forks Which was the 1st of the Perimeter Frame & USD Forks!! It Friggen Ripped!! Loved the '90's & Early '00's AMA SX & MX, The Best Years Imho👍😉🇦🇺
So glad they kept it original instead of putting monster energy crap all over it

WTF WHERE DID YOU FIND THIS THING THAT IS MY FAVORITE BIKE!!!!!

sick vid. That bike was amazing. He beat Jeremy on it.
He won 14 races in the 01 supercross, 13 consecutive. Not trying to be a dick, just an FYI
My 02 looks just like that. You know, minus the factory parts lol
#259 is the GOAT 4 me, i dont care what people says
His favorite bike? He left kawasaki because he felt the bike was getting left behind. Hence, the switch to honda in 02. JS
Wrong he went to Honda cause they threw a ridiculous amount of money at him
@@devastator226 wrong. Listen to the whiskey throttle podcast.
@@devastator226 2:33 into whisky throttle podcast. Referring to Kawasaki, “I knew that I was going to be on the same bike, Kawasaki wasn’t coming out with a new model, and I was worried McGrath was going to figure something out. Honda had told me what they were coming out with and I wanted to be prepared”.
Wasn’t for money, at least from Rickys perspective. Now, from Honda to Suzuki was all about money. He talks about that in the WT podcast too. 👍🏻
@@joedillon1806 Interesting, I didn't know that. What about Yamaha? Did they have Chad Reed in 2002? I know they had him in 2004.
@@AbcAbc-ox6pg yep. He won the opposite coast that James Stewart was on in 2002. Watch Vegas east/west shootout in 2002. He was on a Yamaha yz250f
That's not his race bike.
I absolutely hate that color. I hope they never use it again. The stock color is awesome. Leave it alone. Probably why he went to Honda.
Haha, really? Why so? Please subscribe to this channel and get your motorcycle friends to do the same and I'll keep it coming.
Flo Green is porn!
Well you must be a moron then
I got one exactly the same even with the same number 4
