Wow, thank you!

This is the bike I have in my shed right now!

Excellent review. I always liked the looks of the 87 but I had a cr instead. I did have an 88 kx250 which was purchased used and mostly worn out and would still holeshot my friends brand new 89 rm250 9 out of 10 time's. The best part was they were trash talking my bike prior to the 2 dozen holeshots we did in which I was only humiliated twice. Admittedly the rm was better in many ways but definitely not the power category.

The Kaws always had tractor like bottom end, so they made great woods bikes too.

@terrygreen4838 Год назад

Just picked one up. Not running. Looking forward to this project.

@tinshield 3 года назад

I owned and raced one of these. Such a great bike. The motor was so good. Remember cracking the front fender.

@TheMotocrossVault 2 года назад

Me too. My KX125 plastic was so brittle if it was cold out

@1969cmp 2 года назад

One of the bikes that flawed me when it first reached the show room. Gorgeous in the flesh machine.

@beastgirl43 4 года назад

My 2nd bike was an 87 KX 125. I thought it was awesome but the KIPS were stripped and crusted into the cylinder and the swing arm bearings were all wasted. I’d love to have one now with the money to make everything right.,

@TheMotocrossVault 4 года назад

Thanks I plan on doing a RMX video in the future yes

@casmitherz 4 года назад

That would be cool. There are still people out there restoring and riding them... Surprising.

@TheMotocrossVault 4 года назад

@aaronschereck5680 4 года назад

Great review! I had one back in ‘87 and everything you’ve said seamed very familiar - right down to the split gas cap... I had one split one Saturday Night at Cycleland in Chico, CA - racegas mixed with a sweaty crotch isn’t a nice combination 😬😂

@craigsteinman9807 4 года назад

Only you would have insight on that cool fork package that's why your the best tony..another awesome review..had 89 kdx200and ended up with gas soaked nuts aa well..

@TheMotocrossVault 4 года назад

Thanks 👍 and gas on the nuts SUCKS!

@craigsteinman9807 4 года назад

@@TheMotocrossVault why yes it does..since your om kawasakis here lately..how about the. A review on the. '81kx80..a semi forgotten bike but one that changed everyones view of the kxs. And a ground breaking bike as well

@codycalvert5943 Год назад

do you know by chance what carb model ward used? wanting to do a replica on my 87. was it a pj or pwk keihin?

@TheMotocrossVault Год назад

Yes I have articles covering the 1987 factory bikes. Ward's '87 SR250 used a specially modified 38mm Keihin PJ flat slide carburetor.

@michaeltubbs272 2 года назад

Whoever disliked this video has some serious personal shit it workout.

@TheMotocrossVault 4 года назад

I often wonder who does that. Maybe they hate motocross or just want to be a contrarian.

The Motocross Vault same person that sees a perfectly flat/calm body of water and hucks a bolder in just to break it up. 🤙🏼

Wanderlustman LOL I thought it meant “noisy crank”

@derrickzenner9300 4 года назад

It means many things. She told me that it also means that there's nothing more fun than beating you on your superior CR with my inferior KX.

Good stuff as usual, Tony! Do you have a patreon or whatever account, bro?

@TheMotocrossVault 4 года назад

I do have a Patreon although I have not started promoting it yet. I am still trying to work out what to offer and how it all works. Here is a link to it. www.patreon.com/themotocrossvault

@craigf7188 4 года назад

Tony great job from MX best era, are you doing the CR250 history like you did with the CR80. Being the most successful bike of all time should be popular

@TheMotocrossVault 4 года назад

I will be doing one for the CR250R for sure!

Suzuki pe and rs review pleaseeee!!!!!

@deborahchesser7375 4 года назад

Randy Nelson Those were cool, they should make a cheap bike like the RS now, with old school technology that’s affordable. Suz made a bunch of different models at the time, wish they still did.

@allenhodges836 2 года назад

When I pull in the clutch and put it in gear it cuts off what is wrong with it need help

@TheMotocrossVault 2 года назад

It sounds like your clutch is not fully disengaging and it is stalling the motor when you put it in gear. Check to make sure the basket is not badly notched and binding the plates

@redghostgaming7016 4 года назад

could you do reviews on some late 70s early 80s bikes

@TheMotocrossVault 4 года назад

Absolutely. I've done one on the 1976 RM370, 1976 Honda MR250, 1981 Suzuki RM125, 1983 Honda CR480R, and 1978 Honda CR250R Elsinore and I will be doing more in the future
