SRL Archive - News and General

Hello everybody.

Last saturday I woke up at 4am and after that we drove about 500 km to north to buy a new bike. :) The whole journey was about 1100 km and it took pretty many hours (we left at 6am and got back 10pm…). The bike I bought was Kawasaki KDX 125 and it cost me 700 euros (pretty cheap), but it looks very bad. Last owner haven't done anything to it, he was just riding it, not taking care of it.

Well anyways, I'm going to make this bike look cool. First I will dissemble it and then I'm going to paint the frame. I also have to buy some new parts to it, and it will take about 400 euros. I'm thinking of buying supermoto rims, but it would cost like 700 euros more, so I'm still considering it. :)

I'm gonna keep posting some pictures in this thread, it's kinda like diary about my bike. :)

Let's get this shit started:

6.10.2007

The day I bought it.
Here is the first picture of how it looks like:

As you can see, it's very dirty and kinda ugly. Just look at the amount of oil on top of engine… How can someone even let this happen?
I got back at 10pm so I didn't have any time to start fixing it.

7.10.2007

Repairing & cleaning begins.
Today I decided to clean the bike first… It took some chemicals and rubbing, but it was worth of it as you can see here
Before:


After:


Look at the amount of dirt & oil that is gone, you can actually see the engine! :eek: :D
After I washed it I started dissembling it for painting, it took rest of my day and here you can see the results:



8.10.2007

Didn't have much time so I only cleaned the engine. But now it looks good and clean, so much nicer to change piston and stuff when needed to. :)
Here is the picture of clean engine:


Next things to do:
-Continue dissembling
-Clean the engine…
-Sandpaper the frame
-Buy some parts & paint
-Paint it.

holy.. Man your gonna be busy.. Wish i had a bike they are loads of fun.

Congrats and good luck, Secet!

It's street legal. :)
Thanks for the comments!

Thats looks like a beast, will look awesome when you have made it look better post new pics when you have:)

8.10.2007

Today I haven't done much. I had only one hour to work with my bike (school, had to install some antivirus softwares on my mom's computer, had to get insurances and etc.) so I only cleaned the engine.
It looks pretty damn nice now. :) I think I'm gonna polish the "clutch cage" (don't know the real word for it, but anyways outside the of clutch) because right now it looks pretty ugly :(
Here is the picture:


Tomorrow my school ends at 12 o'clock so I got plenty of time. If it doesn't rain much I think I'm going to start cleaning the frame. If it rains, I will probably clean exhaust and some of the coverings. Shouldn't be too hard. :)

Im sorry but my Cr 500 supermoto would rub the shit out of that :)

Good job. I'm terrible with cars/dirtbikes (live in the suburbs, no place to ride them), but I did learn how to ride a fixed up honda dirtbike my granddad bought for me and my cousins. Nearly crashed into a tree when I was seeing how fast it could go…. I've still got 3 years before I'll get my license.

Ooops. Totally forgot update this thread, but I'm now already assembling it. :) Pictures coming in few days.

Wow congrats I got a KX250 in my garage. Its sweet. I hope u have a fun time riding!!!

Nice bike man

Wow must of been a fun trip going to and from where you got it from, but i bet it'll be worth it in the long run right? You seem to be the kind of person who takes care of there possessions, and I respect that. I'd prefer to see some nice looking ride then a junky "Reason why the O-zone layer is getting thinner cause it puts off so much pollution" vehicle ANYDAY.

Guess what guys, I rode it for the first time today! Man it was great to drive enduro bike after you have ridden sport bike for whole year… Too much temptation to give some gas in corners… I just can't describe the feeling. :) I just love to ride on snow, tho I need to get better tires!

Bike sounds awesome now, everything in tightened and new piston! No extra sounds at all, awesome awesome awesome.

I won't do anything big for now, I will change those KX parts after winter is over. Now I'll just enjoy riding it. Posting pictures today/tomorrow! :)

like to say iv owned on/off motocross bikes and your frame is of a kx125/250

my current bike now is a kx250 motocross 2004 model i bought for £1.800 gbp in 2005 that wasnt bad going.. it blown the piston thru the head the bike is like brand new again now anyway gl with your project..ps i bet the person who u bought it off went green laning on it..hence it been dirty etc;)

Sweet, also WOW thats alot of work you put into that. I also have a dirt bike its a Honda. Anyways I got it brand new because I worked for a cool boss. It was at first a POS but after alot of elbow grease it looks pretty sweet.

dude thats a really nice bike ive been trying to get one but the susuki or honda or kawasaki a really fast one lol
