I have a guy wanting to trade me my kx250 that is in boxes and is stripped to the frame for a xr500 that needs a kick starter gear and possably has a wiseco piston my question is is there any problems with theb becides its a honda
It's heavy, it's a 4poke. A simple engine like thet should have ran forever (with maintenance). If it has reached forever and needs a rebuild, youd be looking a good chunk of change.
the xr parts are readily available and not to pricey to fix. the old xr bikes were very reliable motors 4 stroke or not. i have an 87 xr 600 and top end rebuilds are comparable to any two stoke build.
