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.

I love this 2 stroke and i like it

@dicktrickler 5 лет назад

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.

@maxrpm2215 5 лет назад

Yep, 4stroke rider

@mxdoglives9133 5 лет назад

Lol. He does look slow as hell

@dicktrickler 5 лет назад

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 😂

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

@theshootindutchman 5 лет назад

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!

@ryanerfurdt8705 3 года назад

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.

@theshootindutchman 3 года назад

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!

@trevorpeck1877 9 месяцев назад

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.

@adammanning1805 5 лет назад

I miss the smell the sounds of my 2002 CR.

@freedomring4813 5 лет назад

Just watched a 250 Honda video 4 stroke and they sound like crap. Love this bike

@omarsaenz3596 4 года назад

4 strokes sound like the old xr's I used to ride. Sound like there's a potato in the exhaust system

@bobbyphillips2538 5 лет назад

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.

@stevo1219 5 лет назад

Whos ready for the 500 next year

@rolfinator37 5 лет назад

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.

@mitja8976 5 лет назад

For me too.

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.

@alexanderkainz8225 Год назад

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

@justinwaite26 5 лет назад

...was it not warmed up..?..sounds a bit sick..or needs clearing out

@taskerpro944 4 года назад

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.

@Dylans503 5 лет назад

Does it have a fat rich spot somewhere? What's up with that sound

@mikebrown41182 5 лет назад

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!!!

@stephenwilson1012 5 лет назад

This bike is not tuned right at all.

@TheLestie 5 лет назад

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

@simonchaddock3694 Год назад

Price?

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) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ITgDjfmOe1M.html

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.
