Well - out of the blue - i found a good deal on a KX80, with seized engine. 1998 im told OK - not ideal but what the hell - im up for a challenge on a shoestring budget. if I can get it looking fairly nice again,a nd running as well, THEN 1. i have my first little offroader 2. i might just decide to make my SRX250 into a 2 stroke 80cc using the KX engine 3. I might start bucket racing with the KX - but that means road tyres for a KX - do you even get such? What I love about this KX is that it is so light and simple. pictures to follow PS - the previous owner actually managed to wrench the piston out of the cylinder, so thats where i start from - damaged piston and cylinder. Completely worn chain and sprockets
Bust out the spanners ( I love that when blokes say Spanners ) Ok the first thing is look in the bottom end for bits and rubbush from the piston replace the all the main seals ( it maybe the cause of the K-Blammo :eek1 ) go through the carb check the filter on the Petrol tank, and enjoy the ride BRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAPPPPPPPPPPPPPP
Look at the piston, not much carbon, because it was really, really hard to start. Post a few pictures of the cylinder walls, this might not be too hard to repair.
Loooong ago thread revival. I just got this for basically free... Doing some work on it. Hasn’t run yet. Exhaust was mangled for one, and a few other issues.
