Robert Reed took his 1996 KX250 engine to Tom Morgan of TMR to bore it out into a 315cc. Then he took a 2018 Kawasaki KX250 chassis and dropped it off with A.J. Waggoner of Built500 who modified the engine mounts, exhaust mounts and radiators to fit the two-stroke engine. Robert originally had a KX250 featured as a Two-Stroke Spotlight in our Mid-Week Report article on motocrossactionmag.com and now he built another and brought it out to shine in the Southern California sun at Glen Helen Raceway.

if it ain't electric-start and EFI, nobody wants it in 2024. Especially for $10,000-$15,000

@dr.hugog.hackenbush9443 3 месяца назад

@@HorsepowerHouseAs the owner of several 500s, they aren't too much for most people. They simply lack the throttle discipline needed and find themselves in over their head before they can react, thinking you can ride it like a 125. Once someone becomes accustomed to it, while it is a lot, it isnt too much.

@renevarela4236 3 месяца назад

I built something very similar. I built a 2020 kx250af with a 2003 kx250 motor. Varner racing did the motor to running off of mrx02 fuel. Built a bunch of very custom parts. Back in 2021 I contacted ping to cover the build and he said nobody would be interested..... I would love to get some info on what they did to build the top engine to spar mounts and the exhaust bracket mount.

@NathanIsRacin 3 месяца назад

Taking those ODI grips off will fix your throttle problem. They hang up and stick in the housing bc the plastic flash isn’t cleaned up/the molds are super inconsistent. If you have a KTM, they’re fine bc they come with them. But please for your safety guys run traditional glue on grips with a good throttle tube like the motion pro Titan.

@gunsgeargodandcountry6609 3 месяца назад

I believe all manufactures need to start producing 2 stroke 125cc and 250cc dirtbikes for motocross and supercross racing. The manufactures put the research and development effort back into two strokes and the AMA starts to bring the original 125/250 class back into the mainstream. The racing would be better and the skill would come into play more than the machine itself. Maybe I'm just a old head but I truly believe in my heart that the golden age of motocross and supercross was the late 90's early 2000's with two strokes only no four strokes no electric bullshit just pre mix and a set of hairy balls. I just want to see all the competitors that make the mains nowdays on 2 strokes and watch the raing improve because its not as good as it once was....I can dream cant I ....
