Hey there!

I'm looking for a gentleman named Matthew Huxtable of Gisbourne, NZ. He made a post on another forum about a KLX250/TT600 conversion that I'd like to know about. Namely...how in the Hell do you wedge a TT600 thumper into a KLX250 frame? :scratch:

Since I have one of those motors and a street titled KLX300R, it'd be really nice to know how.

Thank you for your help! My e-mail is in my profile...

P.S. Oh! And greetings from California!

But it would be interesting to see how you'ld get a tt600 into a klx frame...not that you'ld be gaining much unless the tt has been fettled with...
theres a company in california that specialises in klx's and they do a 380 kit for the klx300...and FCR carbs,exhuasts,head work,cams,etc... they'ld show ya how to get a heap more power out of your KLX... mind... u might hav problems with emmision laws in CA ??

Well, if you know someone who knows someone who knows him... :drinknsin

It's actually an SRX6 road race motor. It's got a high compression piston, cam, headwork, modified crank and rod. The SRX and TT motors from the mid-80's are the same, with the exception that the SRX has a taller 5th gear. That suits my needs pretty well.

The KLX big bore kits above 331 cc's can be, er, explosive. My current KLX has the 33 pumper carb and a fourstrokeworks header (among other things). It's a great low/mid-range trail bike. She lacks on on the top end, though!

Just exploring the options. I had tossed the idea away before I came upon his post.
