- After the 2 Stroke World Championships we grabbed Zach Bell's 2003 Project Kawasaki KX250 2 stroke and threw some of our test riders on it to see how it rode. Lots of Precision Concepts/Kawasaki race team sponsors are featured on Zach’s machine and the bike is actually owned by former team member Justin Seeds. Zach won the Two-Stroke World Championship last year and will be defending his title this weekend on this specially build KX250.Pro Circuit, Boyesen and LA Sleeve provided some much needed performance upgrades.The entire front-end is off a 2019 KX450 and held on by Xtrig clamps. Naturally the suspension internals are all handled by Precision Concepts.The wheels are designed to handle all types of abuse. The hubs are Talon and the rims are Excel A60 built by the crew at Dubya USA. Galfer provides the stopping power and Maxxis provides the traction.

Who's the 1 dislike (hater) of two strokes ... damn dude
Man....is it me or did it feel like it was not running right? It felt like it was sputtering quite a bit at full throttle, maybe not jet it right since it has the bore kit....maybe a bit lean. Anyway sounds awesome down low.
For me too.
Jetting is too rich
Moto3 oneone well, no. Jetting is waay too rich!
Moto3 oneone man you got no plan! Got enough 2 strokes at home, i know what i‘m talkin‘ about
i sounds jetted right to me , bore kit is what makes it sound like that
Shoulda had Zach ride it. He’d probably go 100x faster on it than the test guy did. You could tell he wasn’t comfortable on it.
Yep, 4stroke rider
Lol. He does look slow as hell
mxdog lives I think it’s because it’s got zacks heavier 450 suspension on it valved for an A rider. Those things would feel like 4 by 4’s they’d be so stiff on a 250 2 stroke. Somebody like zack could make it work because of his speed. Itd ride like shit for Normies like us 😂
What's wrong with this thing ? It sounds and it looks like it has no power !! My KX250AF 2018 is flying ( kx250f 2018 with a kx250 2007 engine ) !!
Oh i love the pro circuit exhaust on the bike🤘🏽💚💚🤘🏽
Whos ready for the 500 next year
I miss the smell the sounds of my 2002 CR.
24 people ride an electric motorcycle..
I'd say; 4 stroke bikes...
i looked on LA Sleeve website there is no KX 2 stroke big bore kit? I want to buy one for my 06 250
Millenium Technologies, ask for Jeff
Long live the REAL KX250
Just watched a 250 Honda video 4 stroke and they sound like crap. Love this bike
4 strokes sound like the old xr's I used to ride. Sound like there's a potato in the exhaust system
dislike for the overbore, ffs i hate overbore!
I subscribed more two-stroke videos!
Want to see green two stroke done right? Ridden right? See Tyler Bowers KX500 (AKA The Unit) build on You Tube and notice the stupid grin as he talks of the 500. See also his Go-Pro vid of his subsequent ride at the GH 2-stroke race. Including one sweet rail around the outside pass on one startled Yamaha.
It looks like it was restricting
...was it not warmed up..?..sounds a bit sick..or needs clearing out
I couldn't believe how perfect it sounded. It's definitely jet'd in right for mid-range power. In the low rpm's it sounds a tad spitty but it doesn't make any power down there anyways.
Sort of like a classic 60's muscle car that can barely even idle, and is all kinds of clunky at low rpm's, until you open it up and it screams up the rev range.
I love this 2 stroke and i like it
To bad it wasn't a 500. Win world championship 2t on a real mans bike >:)
Braaplife🌪
I am rebuilding a 2003 kx250 at the moment and struggeling with old plastics like airbox parts. All suppliers which i found don‘t sell those parts anymoremfor 2003 models. Does anybody knows about where to buy those parts as oem? As I understood in the video there‘s a guy named „Jan Primo“ who is selling the parts and used it on this bike as well? Pls advise. Thx
spend all this money on plastics. ... things still handles dangerously. I have one.. fucking hate it. Nothing can be done. Plastics doesn't help.
1:50 the Sproket/Gearshaft looks kinda weird
Mean green 270cc machine, very nice show pony!!
Remains me use Boyesen reed valve @1994 for my 2 stroke Honda NSR 250 RR... Use Motul n Accerbis silencer 👍👍👍
Taek
Heck yeah great video. Love the kx250
My kx250 is cooler
the racer is unable to control his motorcycle 😵
This 16 year old hunk of Craigslist junk broke down in Moto 1 and never made it to Moto 2. A far cry from going 1-1 on the Husky last year. Poor Kawasaki.....lol. The #1 plate does not deserve to be anywhere near this steamy turd.
I'd like to know the difference in horsepower after big bore. That bike doesn't seem revvy and pissed off like a well tuned 250.
That is lit bro 👌🏼👌🏼
I just want all companies to make 2 strokes again they would make money and I just miss looking forward to seeing next years 2stroke
If you saw this an thought it doesn’t have enough power, I can assure you he wasn’t riding it to it’s full potential it’s a scary bike lol
All that and the test rider still casing jumps. 🤦🏻♂️
Price?
So he says they’re making him another one for next year... soooooo lemme get that one then question mark?
Sir, What year model that bike kx 250 2 stroke?
I love it but for whatever reason now 14 years ahead in four stroke technology these two strokes looks so slow? It sounds the rider himself begs for more power even if they have a big Bore kit in it?
Nevertheless damn you Steve Whitelock and the AMA for allowing the fourstrokes to have such advantage.
Hahaha ole boi needs to sit back on that seat about a foot more!!!
This bike is not tuned right at all.
Also the kx has about a 10lb lighter weight difference so you got to factor that in so it has more power to weight ratio but it has about 5-8 less horsepower
Does it have a fat rich spot somewhere? What's up with that sound
Really big as in AF 500 ?
what are these frame protectors
Looks good but slow.
I love. it
music sucks
Кава сильная машина 👍🕊🍀
O
kx250 hold there value in the uk
Why i dont know 🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️
Would love to know why kx250 02 can go for easy 2500gbp
Ya telling me I'm looking at a 06 kx250 that's goin at £2999 ! But I'm 43 an I grew up on 2strokes so Fck it lol
im in talks with a kid atm kx250 02 for 1k full service and paper booklet and proof of purchase gunna snaffle it
@@sebvaja8571 nice one ! There was a mint 01 on eBay last wk for £1700 . bargain . just after Xmas an 3 bdays to sort in January was all that stopped me :-/
bloody hell mate 3 bday and xmas id be homeless after all that hahaha
👍
Keep them coming! Mixing gas and slapping ass!
I watched this video to hear more about the suspension, like what was used/done to make the all new 2019 450 forks bolt to the bike with the correct Geometry. Instead you talk about the expensive plastic upgrades! And big bore kit! Come on guys.
Jettings not set..and riders scared....check a proper rider on a 2005 KX250 below (then after search the last 20 of the manufactured # 2008 KX250s sent to Australia, and see them go, all got fitted with all the left over KRT factory parts..DID rims..PC exhausts..Reeds..and other stuff! #000999 is in Japan Kawasaki museam, 000998 Mitch Pat has, #000997 sold auction for $29,000 usd)

Gosh, I have a special place in my heart for the Kawasaki perimeter framed 2 stroke, of 15 different bikes in my racing career I loved that bike more than any of the others. So cool, but seems so slow now. Makes you realize just how fast the four strokes really are, just no comparison. The four strokes just eat it alive!
Thats not true, a 2004 kx 250 2 stroke is just as good as a kx 450 4 stroke. How is it that a brand new kx 450 has less hp than a 16 year old kx 250 2 stroke. A 16 year old kx 250 2 stroke has 55 horse power, that is more horse power than a brand new 2020 kx 450 4 stroke. A 04 kx 250 2 stoke weighs the same, and it is the same height. You think your 4 stroke is better, but a 04 kx 250 2 stroke has more hp with the same height and weight. The 04 kx 250 2 stroke engine is smaller, weighs less, and puts out more horse power than a kx 450 4 stroke. And at the end of the day a 04 kx 250 2 stroke is easier and cheaper to rebuild compared to a 2020 kx 250 4 stroke. I enjoy the smell of 2 stoke engines because I grew up around 2 stroke engines mixing gas every month before climbing, it is in my blood and I know they are strong, light weight, and relible engines. I also do all the work on my 04 kx 250 2 stroke dirtbike so I am a great mecanic and I understand what I am talking about.
Ryan, sounds like you love 2-strokes and that's great! They still have a place in racing, namely enduro, and that's cool. I will always love the smell!
2 stroke's make you think your going faster than what you really are since they feel like they're going to pull you off the bike. For racing 4 stroke's are better and for fun 2 stroke's are better. I don't race so the only thing I care about is having fun.
never sell a 2 stroke
Ofcourse there is that one hater that dislikes the video
This bike is badass
