- After two years of hiding in the back of the shop, this 2 stroke animal is coming out to play and hurt some feelings, say hello to my fully built, factory 1998 KX250.
From Warp 9 Wheels, to a FMF Fatty Gold Series, this bike has too many mods to list, and with the raw power and porting of the 98 engine, this dirt bike is an absolute beast.
Stay tuned and
#KX250 #TwoStroke #2Stroke
I have a 98kx also its my baby!! It takes me anywhere and everywhere we go in trails in Hawaii. I bought the bike brand new back in 98 and still run it. I will never get rid of it!!! I love it to much... TEAM GREEN FOR LIFE!!!
I have a 2000 KX250 at the present, longest bike i have ever kept, I am 48 now, so it will probably be my last, I had a 06 kx450f, it was an absolute beast, couldn't even ride it in the woods on trails, those are made for straight ripping on tracks, other wise they overheat, I traded down and traded it for an 06 yz250f, It was okay, not much on power though, But when I traded it for the 2000 kx250 2 stroke I have now, This is the best bike I have ever owned as far as a personal fit, I've had it about 6 years now or so, Never been rebuilt, and still runs strong and has a ton of power, starts first kick every time, unless it sets for months, then it don't want to start, Love your bike though, it's an absolute beauty
No idea if you will ever see this but, what ratio do you mix your gas ???
Very nice bike and cool you like an older bike. One of my buddies rode an 88 back in 91 and I rode a 89 CR500 with a heavy flywheel (makes a ton of difference). My last bike was a YZF426 and I gotta say was my favorite.
A few words of wisdom from an old man, been there, done that... As much property as you have and as much as you ride on it, you're just as, if not more likely going to get injured riding around the house as you are out tail riding so, do yourself and your wife a favor and wear your gear. At least your hard gear. 😉👍
Thank you JR! I've always wanted to ride a 500 that sounds awesome. The 426 seems like a solid bike. And I agree completely I have gotten a lot better about it over the years.
Buckle up in the whip and ALWAYS wear a helmet and proper footwear at a bare minimum...especially on a big rocket.
I crashed into my buddy at 45 or so...we were in an orchard doing 65+, he was maybe 50 feet ahead and stood on the brakes for some reason. By the time I followed suit it was too late. There was 20 feet of skidmarks before I slammed into him at a dead stop...put his handlebar into my radiator and sent me high side over the bars. Luckily I had full riding gear on minus the true MX boots. I was sore for a week, but no worse for wear.
Type this in google: My 2001 KX 250 build - Kawasaki 2 Stroke - ThumperTalk . Guy made his kawasaki VERY wood friendly. Some great mods and ideas for you.
Thanks for that! Definitely a good reference.
I would really love to A/B a pair of KX250s back to back:
One thats all amped up and ported with high compression and a lightswitch throttle on race gas and the other with a Gnarly pipe, fly weights and all grunty and tractory (its a real word 🤪) with all that woods gear thats available.
Which would you choose?
So. Much. Power. !!!! Grip it and rip it! Wahooo! I miss my two smoker days... The sounds, the power, the smell of premix in the morning, Yeah buddy!
It's an animal that's for sure.. You just can't beat it!
I would buy a pair of stock wheels and only use those if you're bringing it to a track. Like you said trail riding will destroy those wheels, and they're way too nice to destroy! I'm sure alot of people will say keep them on but it's not their money that would basically being thrown away. Looking forward to see what this bike can do on the trails once the suspension is set up for that type of riding.
I'm leaning towards it, even though I don't have any money in them might as well keep them nice. Thanks for the comment Kam!
Sick, they rip so hard. I have a ‘98 with a Wiseco 290, absolutely love it. Grew up on a KX 80 with a 105 and a KDX200. My 98 is my favorite bike to date. I did 1994 graphics on all new plasics, RaceTech rear suspension, anodized black wheels with black spokes, custom seat, new radiator, 13oz flywheel, kawi green Acerbis hand guards, and full FMF gnarly exhaust. Every time I just look at my bike it makes me smile ear to ear. Nice build man, hope you still have it.
I love that bike dude,,
It makes me regret wasting money and buying things for me an my family, like food and clothing etc, if we ration and dont go out the house for about six months then im sure I can buy a similar bike.
Respect Bro,
Peace ✌
2 STROKEEEEE..........
Yeah buddy😎
#DopeAssBike
Thank you bro👊🏻
Get hand guards
For sure!
Beautiful bike mate I’m currently restoring a 98 !!!
Thank you James! Can’t wait to see it!
Looks awesome ,I just put together a 1994 kx Eric gorr 300 big bore,two strokes coming back around
They really are...the TRUE spirit of off road bikes is a fast revving rattly ass 2 stroke between your legs. Period.
I have a 98 310 they're fun to ride
I got 95 kx 250 rebuild top bottom end set up for stunt rideing street wheelies
Would look 100 times better without the childish Monster stickers on it. Most people dont care or don't believe it, but those 3 Scratches that Monster uses, are actually Numeric symbols in Hebrew. You dont want that shit on your property.
Your onto it I've never understood it either I use to ride in the 80s ,its the equivalent to putting fanta and Pepsi stickers on your bike wtf!
hey i have a 98 Kx250 as well! but my ktm 380 exc is still faster ;)
sweet bike, have a 04 YZ250, its one awesome smokin bike
Thank you! That's awesome I love me a nice YZ.
Nice bike man. I just sold mine (99 kx250) I recommend doing v force reeds and always running klotz
I have the v force reeds and all I ever run is Klotz👍🏻 Thanks for watching!
Yup, 99 KX crew, reporting for duty. Those Moto Tassinari reeds sure are better than sliced bread.
Nice bike looks very clean sounds nice, nice graphics too.
My favorite dirt bike !
The one and only KX250 with two stroke magic💚🙌
My 2020 kx250 "F" is awesome but two strokes are on another level 🤙
Congratulations mate
That’s awesome! Great minds think alike👍🏻
Great Bike Bro!!! I had one. Dropped a tooth on front sprocket. V Force Reeds. Used it on the trails. Always ran good. Sorry I sold it.
Thank you bro!! That's awesome, makes me excited to get out there on mine.
I still have it's identical twin but I think it's a 97. You're right, the engine rips but the suspension was too soft for mx. Oddly, perfect for trails. To this day it's the most plush suspension I've ever had.
2 STROOOOOKEE
Fully built? Factory bike? Yeah I wouldn't be saying that lol but nice bike
Great looking KX250 man! I love me a 250 2t. They just sound so wicked. The only thing that I don't like, is that front disc cover (and I know it's a great brand and quality), I feel like it's out of place with how sweet ass the rest of the bike looks. Other than that, super sick. Hold on to it. I still have my '93 CR250R. It's hard finding old 90's two strokes that are in good shape... and they will just keep appreciating in price. But yeah, rip it man. If we do a meet up at Wayne National Forest, you'll have to check my Beta 300RR out. It's like a tractor... But yeah man, get a heavy flywheel weight and maybe a 18 inch rear with a Shinko 505S. I liked my CR250R in the woods, but it was still sort of a handful. The flywheel weight is like the first thing I'd get. Some other people will say Recluse clutch, but I wouldn't get that unless you're going to be in the woods a LOT. Also, always run a high quality synthetic two stroke oil and if you can find ethanol free gas that would be good too. I believe there is a website called "pure gas" where you can search for it. Looking forward to more KX vids.
Thank you brother! It might save me on the trails though and that is awesome I would love to see that, I'd love to swap bikes for a bit, I bet that Beta rides like a Ferrari compared to anything I have ridden haha, I always run Klotz and the corn free gas I will definitely have to find some. Thanks for watching and thanks for the comment!
No problem man, glad you can take constructive criticism, I know some can't. I had a guard like yours on my CR and got rid of it, never a problem in the woods, but yeah, bending a rotor would suck for sure. And yeah man, the Beta suspension is light years better in the woods than any race bike. I'll never forget the first time I took it out... I was just blown away... But yeah, we'll have to do a bike swap... I'll have to come down with my van, the Beta and all my other junk fits in there pretty well... Maybe this fall, get some cooler days, less sweat...
send it. if it gets scratched whatever its meant for it.
Truth!
Hey man quick question I ordered the Fatty Gold for my 98kx 250 and I’m not sure it’s the right one. My part number is 020045 what’s yours?
I have the 2001 and it rocks !
Nice! Wish you could post pictures in the comments.
Get stock wheels. Im the same way you are. Its gonna KILL you if you dont. Seeing them all scratched up... Sell them and get stock ones, and maybe have some extra cash!
I got the same bike in same shape except I put the Chevy trucks graphics and yes they are fast as heck 😮 worth alot to here in Californiaoh and mine was free lol but I put a grand into it 😮
Did you manage to find a new cylinder for it when rebuilding,or resleeve or repair existing? I repaired mine and replated cylinder and rebuilt the top end by bike shop and I still don’t think it’s producing the great power they’re supposed too ,compression doesn’t feel as good as my mate 02 kx 250 which he rebuilt and managed to find a new cylinder,you sound super happy with yours so was wondering how you did your top end ? Thanks
I have a 250 2 stroke and they are awesome
They are one of a kind!
I love 250 it's my dream bike to
They are awesome bikes!
I had a kx 125 back in the day.I love the sound of a 2 stroke
Nice! I definitely want a kx125 someday myself and me too you just can't beat it.
Hey tanner when you had this, where those lowering links I saw? Or just aftermarket dog bones
Oh its a special bike i got the same one but mine has Chevy trucks graphics with 98 number plates im getting green hus next
I have a 99 that I will trade you straight up. It is already clapped and has tons of scrapes and dings so its already for the trails. Starts on like the 9th or 10th kick after its warm . Gotta pop start it otherwise. LMK
Nice kx, I got a 2009 85cc 2 stroke, it needs a top end and were thinking of putting a 105 conversion kit in it
Black rims, green hubs, and the fmf pipe, your bike is outta site 😂😍
Facts😎😂❤️
Carbon fiber fatty pipe guard is a need
I'll get one ordered thanks for the suggestion!
Great video and nice bike
Thank you Erick!!
I remember having that as my first 2 stroke but now I have something way better brand new ktm 300 tpi
Nice job on the rebuild, sounds and looks great. I just rebuilt my 98 and can't wait to rip it
As far as mods for trail riding, Retard the timing about 2-3 degrees. it softens the powerband hit and increases over-rev.
I’ve owned a 94, 00 and 04 but the 97,98 and 99 is my next one for sure!
i just bought a 1998 kx 250...cant wait to ride it and race it
Get an 18in rear wheel from a KDX you will have more sidewall for trail riding
Get us plenty of woods trail action. Enjoy!😅👌
Kyle mobile
Truth😂
Sell the 250L. Keep the DRZ and Grom and you have one for every occasion.
I still have some riding to do on the 250L, I still want to have a dual sport around.
Attention Deficit second thought. Sell the 230 and sumo the 250L for you Girl. BOOM!!
I dumped my 98 motor into an 04 frame its a beast!!!
Tis a beauty 🤘🏼🔥
Thank you Zach😎👊🏻
Beautiful bike
Thanks!
I can see only one word....Lust !.......enjoy !
I have the same bike with a 290 big bore kit and it absolutely is my favorite. She shreds everything it comes in contact with. Doesn't look as crisp as yours but I bet it rides the same. Glad you kept it. Beautiful bike. Keep the rims on it.
That sounds awesome! I appreciate the comment and your time watching.
Hahahahaha I was right
You called it man😂
Idk but i see you flying in the lake 1 day with that thing lol it looks beastly fast
Now that would be fun😂
@@AdventureDaily hell yea just do it for the fans. But wear full gear and helmet lol
Just send it bro
Always👊🏻
Bike hooks up well ! What’s your ⚙️ gear ratios ? Do you know what stock ratios are for 98 ?
I honestly have no idea! I am sure it will be in a future video though👍🏻
OMG the bike looks great man. Can't wait to watch some videos. 🎉🎉👍🏼👍🏼👊
Thank you Jason I'm glad you like it!👊🏻😎
@@AdventureDaily I look forward to checking out your videos like everyday day man. I work two jobs 1 full time and 1 part time about 63 hours a week 7 days a week. I think if not for you and like 3 or 4 other channels I always watch I would go crazy 😲. So thank you man and please keep them coming 🤞👍🏼👍🏼👊
Where did you find the fly wheel wight?
where did you get the graphics?
2 STROKEEEE 👊
Tiny Rides
Very similar story to me and my '01
510 have you changed dads?
Sounds great bro. Glad to hear a properly tuned bike. 👍
Thanks Chris!
Noice
Thanks!
Sweet bike! I have a 96 which probably has similar engine characteristics. I've also gone back and fourth between selling it as I just bought a 21 YZ250F, but I just can't do it. The kx is way more fun to ride on the trails. If anything I might trade the 250F for a yz250 2t or maybe 450
such a cool bike 👌👍
Lectron carb, Bash guard, New sprockets front and rear
Thanks for the suggestion!
Dude its sweet ! I'm 43 now an always loved the kx250's .. So after 18yr off !! I bought a kx250 2006 ... Yesterday haha
2020 is gunna be a great yr
Hey mate how has it worked out for you I am turning 43 in a couple of months never stopped riding But have only been on cruising road bikes for last 20 years am looking at getting a kx250t while there still easy to find I'd be interested to know how a 43 year old adapts
@@michaelroberts6299 well apart from covid kicking in an the tracks closing Haha. I loved it . I rebuilt the bike over lockdown iv not been back out yet like . Still need sum track time cos after so many yrs off .. my balls aint as big as they used to be lets say haha
Yes dude! So excited for you to get that thing out on the trails!
Me too bro seeing you having a blast on that YZ set my mind right.
The first Bick I fell in love with is the kx 80 it was a 92
That's awesome I love 80's!
Mine was the kx 80 1990 had a huge influence on the mx Sean the rest of the bikes followed suit with the load graphics changed the riding gear graphics the only MX bike to have more influence on MX was the 1997 yz400f
You already know who it is first🤠😁
And I’m getting a 2 stroke
Thank you bro👊🏻 And say whaaat?!
😏
Got the same kx 😂
Don't do nothing,
Send it Cuz they look awesome!!!!
Agreed! Thanks for watching👍🏻
LETS RIDE
Also, I have some barkbusters for you. Freefiddy
I'm disappointed that you didn't play the clip of Alexa saying "two stroke" . Awesome machine!
Suspension, full wrap hand guards, skid plate, flywheel weight and low gearing, tusk impact wheels and a headlight. Will make this a boss trail bike.
By the looks of that bike, and especially after what you said, it was set up for a little tiny guy or girl, with short legs. The motor sounds strong af though. As far as the wheels, I'd ride em off. Y'all b good.
Finally🙄😂🤘
Ride it with the Warp 9s. Life is too short. Beautiful bike. Brings back memories. 👍
Amazing!! i have a 94 kx250!
That’s awesome!
Ride it with the wheels. Just be careful and don’t wreck it on some rocks.
Ahahah i can relate, 2 hours in my kx and it blew up the shaft, took me 7 moths to rebuild the engine and most of the power wasnt even there
Finishing up my 98 now let us know how many hours you're getting out of your rebuild
Yay! 😊
Ahh I see a mx to trail conversion series coming
Thank you for the title idea! I really do appreciate all of your comments and viewership.
What a stunning bike. It looks so rapid
Another sweet video and that bike looks sweet man cant wait to see more of it man keep the videos coming
Lol man up and ride it as is. Lol that’s how we use to do it with my 2000 cr250
Man up😂 Smh you dudes kill me, I’m trying to be comfortable haha.
Same i have 00 cr also that i used to ride in the woods without the weight
Man up and ride moto! If you want a trail bike get a trail bike
Ain’t nothing to do with being a man I enjoy riding single track and doing hill climbs, which this 250 will be a blast at after I’m done with it.
@@AdventureDaily I know and I love your single track videos. I just hate to see a big flywheel weight go on the beast when she was meant for moto. Plus I think with a couple of trips out you would kill it at the track! You seem pretty versatile with your riding!
Happy for you, enjoy it!
