      For real this is the most in-depth I've seen so far and you do it inside your house and you actually show people that you don't need all this fancy fancy equipment yes you have some nice dremels but it can all be done if you put your mind to it like I don't know how you don't have millions of people can you speed the videos up I can just imagine how many hours that takes you and that is one of the cleanest cleanest KX250 is I've ever seen and there's a lot of content on RUclips LOL

      What’s your procedure for the cases? Mine were pretty ugly and I used a wire wheel on a dremel and WD40. They came out alright but not OEM new. I was also curious how you “blued” your forks? I almost anodized my forks but decided I didn’t want to put that kind of money into the bike so I stripped them and cerakoting them instead.

    • @madmarc
      @madmarc  2 года назад +10

      It was so satisfying. It felt like riding a two-stroke for the first time all over again (in a good way). I didn't have the chance to ride this bike before I bought it because it was in sad condition as you see in the video. And I'd never ridden a KX250 before. So I didn't know what to expect. Once it fired up and I got on the throttle I was taking it easy. The power is way more explosive than my CR250 (at least in the low-to-mid-range). The rear wheel kept spinning so you I had to be gentle on the throttle in the turns. But man, it was fun.

    I LOVED my 1990 KX250! It was like a rocket ship from outer space! So flickable, that bike felt like part of me more than any other I've ever raced.......... 👍❤️
