still trying Posted September 3, 2015 Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 I got interested in this site for all the KT250 chat, thanks. I got given one that was running, but pretty rough. Finally got talked into rebuilding it. Ended up designing a new frame and swing arm, (didn't want to hack the original). Its all chrome molly, and aluminium. total weight loss will fall between 10 and 15 kg (about 82 kg with tyres and fluids) Some basic dimensions; length overall 1990 dist between wheel centers 1280 - 1320(max chian stretch) dist from rear wheel center to c of g 576 dist from front wheel center to c of g 704 ground clearance 285 seat height 535 width motor 285 width swingarm 245 width frame 210, (not including foot rests) height to hand grips 1155 mm Now learning how to build the tank. As it stands the bike balances really nicely. The back shocks are a little soft, (will get stiffer springs and non gas shocks). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
