      For real this is the most in-depth I've seen so far and you do it inside your house and you actually show people that you don't need all this fancy fancy equipment yes you have some nice dremels but it can all be done if you put your mind to it like I don't know how you don't have millions of people can you speed the videos up I can just imagine how many hours that takes you and that is one of the cleanest cleanest KX250 is I've ever seen and there's a lot of content on CZcams LOL

      Really enjoyed this in depth tear down. I have a '92 which looks very similar. How wonderfully simple these machine are. Going to keep this video in my archive for reference. Nice work!

    Just noticed this, I have a 94 kx250. It was 1 of 10 team bikes sent by Kawasaki early 1994 before delayed production units hit the USA . Was so hyped I went with mechanics to pick up crates at Ohare airport. I begged for my crate be dropped at my house right then.🤤They didnt, I got it the next morning and have never let her go!
    After some FMF Emler alone time, and dialing suspension, never before or after found a ride more suited to me. Smooth , explosive, fine, and brutal, and with the optional factory suspension kit, DAM I can Quad now and not break frames every week!! Me- 1994

    I was just wondering what feelings you had taking the test drive after that great job. Congratulations on the professional work.

    • @madmarc
      @madmarc  Před rokem +10

      It was so satisfying. It felt like riding a two-stroke for the first time all over again (in a good way). I didn't have the chance to ride this bike before I bought it because it was in sad condition as you see in the video. And I'd never ridden a KX250 before. So I didn't know what to expect. Once it fired up and I got on the throttle I was taking it easy. The power is way more explosive than my CR250 (at least in the low-to-mid-range). The rear wheel kept spinning so you I had to be gentle on the throttle in the turns. But man, it was fun.
