Racer X Films: 2004 Kawasaki KX250 Two-Stroke Motocross Garage Build Project Bike

Build by Michael Fischer
Video by Simon Cudby

This 2004 KX250 project was started back in early 2014. Michael’s buddy was selling it and, although it needed a bunch of work, it seemed like something fun to do and Michael really wanted a cool two-stroke. With the help of Jay Clark, they went through the bike and figured out what needed to be done to freshen it up. It turns out, it needed just about everything. The motor needed to be split and rebuilt, top to bottom. The frame was taken down and powder coated as well. While that was being done, Michael ordered a boatload of parts for the machine including an FMF pipe and silencer, Hinson clutch, UFO plastic, bars, grips, chain, sprocket… the list goes on and on.
