@GregHitchko definitely a Rollercoaster haha. The engine was completely seized, top and bottom and everything was rusted, stuck in place and full of water. I purchased the bike 2 months ago for a few hundred dollars. It was one of the most frustrating things I've ever done. The bike looks brand new now and the feeling is amazing
An excellent informative video. Thankfully I have all the nominated tools you have recommended. You can't have too many specialised tools. Keep up the good work
Just an engine rebuild top and bottom is about $700 in parts. An entire bike restoration like I just did will cost anywhere from $2,500- $4,000, depending on if you are going for a stock build or making it look cool with all the aftermarket parts. I did the updated plastics, hydraulic clutch, boyesen water pump, warp 9 rims/hubs, powder coated frame, all new bolts from spec bolt, nikasil plated cylinder, etc. I did every aftermarket part possible and I'm into the bike about $4,000
Just finished my 00 kx250 build thanks to you. Your wisdom is greatly appreciated
Dude that is amazing! Such an awesome feeling to accomplish a full rebuild. Roller coaster of emotions along the way but so worth it.

Holy crap dude haha, that's insane. you've got bigger "you know whats" than I do to tackle something that bad haha. Nice work!
I like to lightly grease most gaskets just prior to install, come off way cleaner next time you take apart. As always great stuff dude!!
That's actually a great idea! Thanks for including that bit of info dude🙌🏼

Phew! Glad I've got everything you have haha did I miss anything?
Excellent!
Love it, I'll be rebuilding my kx250 in winter, very nice tool video.
Right on! That'll be a fun project, keep me posted on it 🤙🏼💨
Great to know!! Thank you
Anytime man! Hope it helps out when in need
I'm curious. I have seen you rebuild bikes. Around how much will I spend to do a full rebuild on my 2005 kx250
Do you mean an entire bike rebuild or just the engine rebuild?!
