Buying cheap 2 strokes us such a fun project. Theyre much easier to work with and can often get entirely modern looking parts. My friend rebuilt one and I'm probably going to buy one to do a full build soon.
I flip bikes too, I always go for a Restyle kit. I always put modern graphics on to match the restyle, make it look new and fresh. The original style graphics you put on aren’t for me, kind of takes away from the restyle kit. But maybe some guys like that. Keep up the quick flip videos like this! I love these kind of videos! Nothing like the thrill of making a good profit after a fun quick build.
it looks nice and clean for a older rider. I myself liked tricked out look and not a fan of oem style but I know a lot of older riders prefer the clean not over the top oem look.
Kincade... Great rebuild, but an even better video! Love the basic voice over walk through, kept my attention the time and never felt I needed to skip forward. This will get A LOT of views.
Thumb up and saved to my KX250 Content playlist where I am currating as much KX250 2 Stroke content as I can find. Nice job on the rehab of this beautiful dinosaur.
Wow man, what a beautiful bike! I'm totally biased for Kawi. I think the modernizing of the old bikes is really awesome! Grew up riding 2 strokes, been on a 4 stroke kx 450 for a while, and really really want to pick up a 250 2 stroke again. Something like this is absolutely perfect! Nice man :)
I love re style kits. So much so that I have actually done my own over the years. Many years ago I fitted kxf250 2010 plastics to a kmx 125.i fitted my old ktm plastics to a Chinese thing then sold it at a huge profit. My current kxf250 is a 2010 and I have 19/20 plastics fitted. I always find a way to get them to bolt up. And I'll always do it unless it's something cool from the 70s or 80s then I'll leave them original
@@KincadePavich it's worth trying it some time. Obviously some won't work without a bit of cutting but if you cut and wet send them so it looks like a factory shape then you can't tell. I only do it if I have the parts laying around. I recently bought a AJP pr3 125 that had no plastics and it now has kxf plastics on now but they are now matte black instead of the green. Bike is up for sale ready for a little Christmas present for someone. Looks pretty smart considering. Great work anyway I hope to see more from you :)
I see this a lot and that alot of people havent heard about it, when you load your bikes tuck front wheel in the corner of the bed then hook the pegs with a ratchet strap on the other corners. Saves the forks!!!!!
Really enjoy seeing your work! I just picked up a really nice 2003 ktm125 sx, unfortunately it needs a new cylinder but that just gives me an excuse to frame it and do it my way. It to will be a budget build, but for the 300 bucks I paid for I should be able to flip it easily.
I have 1998 kx 250 i wanna rebild any ideas on where to get engine work done and parts would be good to get back on a 2 sttoke again thank u for ur help
I offer engine rebuilds as a service if you wanted to ship it! Check out my website kincadepavich.com. I buy my parts from MotoSport or Rocky Mountain!
@@KincadePavich everyone is entitled to there option, but over the years I've rode Honda , Yamaha, Kawasaki and Suzuki, and don't get me wrong they are all good bike but Kawasaki was always good to me , never had issues ,part were always available, Honda gave me a bad taste in my mouth, Yamaha didn't hold up to my riding style Suzuki just never ran good enough for me.
well. being poor its sad, but being poor in 3rd country is even worst. there will be no replacement parts if I buy this. and new parts will be more expensive
People asking for 2-3000€ for 2-strokes older than this one and in worse situation (piston in need of replacement-clutch system dead-faulty gears maybe) where i leave!Not to mention some of them might be leaking oil mid-block engine😂😂 I guess i live in the wrong country😢

lol 5k for a 03 come one lets be real.. not even a 08 is 5k even though a lot of these nut jobs think it is. a 07 cr250 could bring close to 5k since it's last year made. for 5k you can get a 2017 or better yz250
@@AjackLee4 yea I purchased a 06 for 2500 flipped for 4300 and it had a weld repair job done on case. Hondas bring good money, the kx are harder to sell and always priced crazy but rarely do I see them actually sell for that. Hard to find a half decent honda 3rd generation for 2k-2500 range but they are around if you search. I bought lots of 00 and 01 2nd gens for 1700-2k they bring around 2800-3400 when they are all done up perfectly.
Bike looks great now! As a business decision I don't think it works out. 15 to 20 hours @ $100 per hour as per any trade. You're not really making any money at all.
The cost breakdown is shown on screen at 6:44! Like I said, I didn't include cost of things I already had such as the used front tire I put on, oil, etc.
@@KincadePavich Nobody serious is going to be down with this cosmetic centered stuff. At least clean the freaking float bowl of the carb out & record the jet#s.
🤦♂ Bodywork? First thing should be to clean/rebuild carb. Second, brakes. Bleed, new pads. etc. Maybe bodywork last. A bit of light grease on the axle makes re-installation easier.

Facts I just traded a fresh crf250r for a beat ass rm125 just to rebuild it lol
Been watching all your videos lately, they are awesome keep up the good work
A happy running two stroke brings great joy. Nice job.
Love the trick with the pipe
Lovely build
I think I like the original bodywork best. It’s great that there are options, and with those graphics and seat cover, it looks killer!

I’m getting ready to dive into a full 03 kx250 rebuild myself. Have everything ready to go minus the head back from a replate.
That's awesome! I was so tempted to do a frame-up on this one, but have a YZ waiting to be built this winter already. Good luck with the build!

4:20 me looking at a 400$ Simpson pressure washer at rural king 😂 I was staring at it for 15 min then walked away
Restyle kit looks nice!! 👌
Heck yeah, I have a 2003 kx 250 too. Its a great bike. I think the restyle kits are great, I have one on mine.
Nice! Yeah I had a blast on this thing, I've never actually ridden a KX250 before this!
I just picked up a running 2015 KX250F this past weekend. $1900.
That's a solid deal!
Absolutely love your restoration videos, hopefully going to be doing one of my own soon!
If you want a hydraulic clutch look into the Magura Hymec Kit. I installed it on my 04 KX250 and its soooo good
I might snag one for the YZ300 build this winter! Had one on a YZ125 a few years ago and enjoyed it.
@@KincadePavich that's quite nice. I disliked the Magura OEM Lever so I bought a black one made for the KTMs, way shorter and fits perfectly
Yea it turned out nice, you got a steal on that
Great looking bike with the update kit. When i need to fit rubber parts on my motercycle. I use rubbing alcohol as lubricant. grt from the Netherlands
Awesome job and video🤯
Thank you!
Getting a 2000 kx250 next week. It runs and needs some work. I can’t wait!
Impressive. I would have walked away from that bike if I saw it for sale for any more than 500 bucks. Nice flip.

Appreciate it!
So sick 🔥🔥🔥 looks brand new
I just got me a 2003 kx 250 ..love it but I need to redo the shock so I really haven't gotten to really ride it
That is an amazing build, and on a budget as well. Gives me some ideas for a project.
Great to hear!
Congratulations, really nice restoration. Could you send me the link of the plastics you bought for this bike?
Polisport restyle kit!
Really wish they supported the KDX 200 with the restyle kits!
3:14 can bro torch my tip
I love your videos when you flip the bikes
Damn man I can never find deals like this.. ever!
Gotta check every day, maybe twice a day!
so i have a 2000 suzuki rm125 sould i sell it or keep it it runs grate
I work on cars a lot and motorcycles look fairly easy in comparison, is it difficult to refresh an older bike like that?
If you're comfortable working on cars you'd pick up motorcycles pretty quick! Everything is smaller and a little more simple honestly.
Wow!!! You did an incredible job!!! Went from scrap to all that!!!
Thanks Mark, I appreciate it!
What an awesome sport to be into and learning experience
Is it still for sale
@@troytroupetraining4546 no sir sold a long time ago!
Good job!
Thank you!
Love these
The restyle kit depends on the bike but i wouldnt do every single bike you build with a restyle kit especially cr125s and 250s i would go oem on those
this looks so much fun , getting my kx or yz 125 soon 💥
well done to that man it looked great.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed!
Looks good bud 😎

Not at all true. Even if I kept that bike I would never have done that if I believed it posed any risk.
Where can I go look at what bikes you have for sale if you have any at the moment?
