Be interesting to see why and how much its gonna cost to fix

Yea it's a X model hence the starter getting blown out of the casing. Was modded up tho similar build to booms. It was weird tho was always on the back wheel the whole time Ive owned it. Yea it's probably not worth fixing I'm probably better of putting the money towards a new bike.

Yea that's more than likely what I'm going to do will put up a post in the for sale section if i start parting it out. What date in october? I'm off to Auz for a couple of weeks in the middle of the month

Hell, even a CR250 2 smoker would be cool in the smalelr frame.

I'd swap the KX for one

**B0000M** · 10th September 2009, 15:20

frame size is the same as a cr250 - different frame, but same size

500 alloy frame bikes sell for heaps!

**Latte** · 10th September 2009, 15:34

Oh really? What a bugger. I always remember stories of RC on a 125 framed 250 coz hes a little on the short side (as am I, but my weight makes up for it

). Guess the 4's are different

And yeah, those AF bikes

**B0000M** · 10th September 2009, 15:46

thats odd. because my CR125 was the same size as my CR250, if not bigger

could be different for other brands though

I always thought they just changed the mounts and cradle from 125-250

did the starter some how try to engage then lock up maybe you could find a cheap engine with a stuffed top end and put your head and barrel on it
