After sitting untouched for over a year it is finally time to bring out the beast, this 1998 Kawasaki KX250 was fully restored from the ground up and built to rip on the track!
In today’s video we knock the dust off of the old girl and get her cleaned up for a new home. We had to replace the brake line and bleed the system but now she stops as good as new.
Let me know if you would like to see a ride video!
#Kawasaki #KX250 #2Stroke
you better keep that thing, what an absolute beast. So hard to find and they rip so good. It’s worth the garage room man!
Would love to see a full riding video of the KX 250
imo you should def keep "the dinosaur" late 90s smokers are hard to find that clean. plus they just rip.
I'm. Buying one today, new top end, new exhaust, all new plastics, fat bars. Starts in one kick, I'm pretty excited about it.
@@benjaminmarsolek6867 The crank rod bearings are good for about 3 seasons of a lot of summer riding. There is a way to measure the wear with out pulling the crank. You might want to change that and all the bearings in the tranny while you are at it. If that crank breaks the rod, it can take out your bottom and top end with it.
@@benjaminmarsolek6867 I just got one today I traded it for my 2004 klx 125😅
@@danielbazan7547 yeah, I posted this a year ago, and since then I've ridden it enough to tell you it's a beast of a bike, that's a solid trade in my opinion. 98 was pre emissions so it was all about power.
@@benjaminmarsolek6867 I'm at a cross road. I would like your opinion. right now I have a Honda 150rb and I'm too big for it. I have ridden my brother's 99' rm250 with a big bore and love it but he says I should get a 4 stroke for how much ridding I do. How often do you ride and what type of ridding? Edit: it wouldn't be a brand new bike
That’s a beast of a bike you might regret getting rid of it
The quad ricers has me dead i love watching them and yes you have to ride it at least once before you sell it
Man I want this bike. Love the ole 2 strokers. If you were in Florida I'd snatch it in a heartbeat
I had a 99 KX250... added a 12oz flywheel weight... she was a woods killer... great bike
My 97 would pump my arms so fast on a track, but I found it to be a great woods bike also. I rode whooped out sand trails in Michigan with it, and never felt so good on a bike.
I got lucked out with a 98 kx250 that was rebuilt from bottom up. I may not have a fancy new bike but I sure am happy to have one! If the price is right I know multiple people looking for first bike! From Michigan.
Keep the KX, sell the China bike. And yes, KX video 👍🏻
your wife is so supportive man, y’all are goals
Brings back memories... I had a 93, 98 and 2000 KX250.
That's awesome!
Beautiful 1998 kx 250 ! Let's see a riding video of the Beast!
Should rip a few hill climbs before you sell it 🔥🔥
Nice. I have a 99 KTM 200 mxc that I'm rebuilding from the ground up. I want mine to just look clean and function properly. That bike looks showroom clean!
I love to ride trails to, 1984 kdx200 drum brakes front and back but what a great trail machine! Cheers
I rode with a couple guy with the KDX200 back around then. They cranked pretty darn good. Very capable aggressive trail bike.
I think it looks a lot better with out the decals. Aww you put them back on.
Man I wish I can find one that year them bikes are hard to find that one was perfect!
Yeah it really was in mint condition!
Kawasaki kx 250 2 stroke 🤘🔥🔥🔥🔥😍
I dont come to here much as I used to but I got other things to do keep up the great work my guy
they still kick ass on the track
I love that bike
I want to see this bike running more 😍😍😍 I got one of these dinosaur of 1999 age ,if the best bike ever.
I had a 2000 kx 250. I put the split fire graphics on. Fmf pipe and silencer. Probably my best bike. It was the spring of 2002 one of the landowners in wellsville confronted me. That was it and with hillsville being closed my bike sat in my garage untouched until four years ago. I sold it probably shouldn't have. You should keep that bike!! I have a yz450 now getting back into it but it's not the same as a two stroke
Definitely need one last ride! I have a 1999 rm250 that I love to ride trails on
Braapppppp! Would love to see a full riding video with that 250! If i was closer to u i would buy it.
That KX is 🔥🔥
I have a 1999 KX 250 with 12 hours on it. I bought it new. 2 weeks later I bought a1999 CR 500 so I don't ride it much. Sold the 500 in 2008 and paid cash for my 2009 CRF 450. Still have the KX. Best bike I have ever owned.
Sheesh I wish I had that bike,I just got mine and needs so much work and I already started working on it as my first ever bike and hopefully everything goes as planned and I hope to least just get it running
Man that bike was clean! I'm refreshing a 1996 KX250 right now. Just pounded out all the swingarm and linkage bearings. I'm so pumped! I'll try and upload a video.
Should i get this Bike ?i could trade it with a shitty chopper
@@petrolheadgokce6273 I really like mine. The motor is powerful and punchy. The only thing that you really need to do to is respring(front and rear) it to your weight. It will improve the ride and handling 10x. Also the brakes could use some upped stopping power if you're riding motocross. For casual trails they should be fine. This is coming from a guy that has a brand new YZ250F, so I'm pretty critical about the brakes and suspension. I ride the KX more because I prefer the two stroke power. I will say however, the YZ250 is said to be a better bike Idk though I haven't owned one, just rode for 15 minutes. They are easier to find parts for too, which is a big plus. Soon I will sell my Yz250F to try a yz250 but The KX I'm keeping forever. I bought my KX for a steal at $350 but I've put about $1750 into it to make it feel better than brand new. In reality I could have spent about $750 to make it very rideable. Hope that brain dump helps you with your decision 😆
@@chrisvids1820 thank you Brother im going to get Mine on tuesday thank you really much
Your mad getting rid of that beast and ye do a full video ripping it 👌🏻👌🏻

Love the quad ricers quote
I have a 2001 kx 250 and it really rips, but i use it for mainly for going down fire roads in Washington state but i have been thinking of getting a 4 stroke.
Just pulled my 1996CR250 out of the shed and road it 90 miles. I am now looking for a surgeon to put my arms back in the shoulder sockets. I have 13 bikes and I say build another shed. Enjoy.
miss my KX250 now
I wanna see a full ride🤘🏼🤘🏼
1:35 "oh smiley face not what I thought it was gonna be" smh deez nuts hah
I wish I could find a 125 as clean as that 250! Very clean bike man!
Power_Band Nation believe it or not, a 250 is easier to ride, especially on the trails.
Deborah chesser welp looks like I shoulda got a 250 instead 😂 I’m a trail guy and went from my XR100R to a 2000 cr125
Well when your 14 its not
@@deborahchesser7375 well when your 14 it's not
yes plz do a full riding vid!!
Nice KX i would love to own it.
Good stuff 😄
Sweet bike
Team green. Sounds good. For sure , take it to the woods.
Yes kx 250 video
My dads 250 kept fowling plugs LITERALLY everything he would first start it up and take off would not skip a beat on fouling a plug, did everything in the name of God I could do to it doing one step at a time trying to make a change and it was the throttle needle the whole time they wear without being able to tell with the naked eye. Changed it and now dad has had the same plug in his bike for months
Let’s see a full riding video with the old Dino 👍🏻
Yes, one last rip please and thanks👍🏼
“ I’ll fire it up tomorrow and give it that wing daaag wing daaanngbaaandaaann. One of them” lmao
“Oh. A smiley face, not what I thought it was going to be” after drawing two circles. What did she think it was going to be?
A dick
A penis
@@bendoriot7069 hes being sarcastic ofcourse he knew that's what she meant🤦♂️
Ben Doriot wow really?
MXA bike of the year
Cool bike
Bike is mint!
Keep it and ride it 😍😍
I'd like too watch a full ride own the kx250 and honeslty I'd like too meet you guys one day and go on a ride with y'all it would be fun with my built xc style cr500
I wanna see a riding video with that bike itd be sick
Do a full riding video with kx250
Definitely need a riding vid on that one! Sweet bike! I think when I'm ready to buy another bike I'll wait till your selling another. Hahaha. Wish I had the money now. How's the ribs?
*you’re
i would love to see a full video on it
Oh wow!
In 1998, my bud bought one. I rode it on our MX practice track. It felt just like my 1993 CR250, but the KX was just a bit better in all aspects. Great motor!
My dad had those exact graphics on his kx125
My buddy and I were in the local Kawasaki dealership in 1998 and almost bought a pair of brand new KX250 2-strokes but the guy wouldn't come down to our negotiated price. I wish he had and he probably wishes he had too. He could have sold a matching pair for CASH that day. I wish I had a vintage 2-stroke Kawasaki KX125 or KX250 today in 2023. Had I known they were going to discontinue them in the future I would have just coughed up the $500 - $800 we were arguing over that day.
Lol he got me with that smiley face
Where can I see the full rebuild at ?
Come ride out west in Utah this fall!
I have one too from the same year (1998) but its not running. Its missing some parts from the kips system.
Did you do a restyle conversion kit? My 98 doesn’t look like this
I’d love to see the full version
My first bike was a 98 KX 85 big wheel.
piz keep it man its a sick ass bike and yes ride it
Clean 250’hate to see it go but if you don’t ride it or don’t fit in your riding style got to go bro 💯✌️brapp
Nothing rips harder than those old two stroke suicide machines xD
Kx ride vid🤟🤟🤟🤟
Defo a video of the 250 kx
"Ohh she drippin" woord
Yessir!
My 89 rmx would do the same thing had to always be on the power band or the spark plug would fail needed a top end rebuild now I have this same bike but black with no spark ugh 😢 now I have to replace the stator
I gots me one of these in 125! Just rebuilt it
Yeah full ride kx
I wanna see a video of a full ride!!!!!!!!
Two stroke chants the. Kx250 crowd the crowd goes wild.
How did you mount your spare tire on your trailer? Pretty gangster towing it with a Prius 🤘
7:14 GONNA NEED A REBUILD
Full ride please, thanks
