I just bought a 2000 kx 250. The bike seems in really good condition, with a few small (I think) issues. One I didn't notice when I bought it, the bolt hole in the frame where the brake pedal goes is stripped. I realized it when the brake pedal was very loose. I tried to tighten, and it just kept going..ugh.
Does anyone happen to know the thread on that bolt? I'm thinking it's maybe M12 - 1.75.
So, my ideas are:
1. replace the whole frame (I don't want to go this route for obvious reasons, and otherwise the frame is in great shape)
2. Drill out the hole, and weld in a nut, maybe two.
3. Weld the bolt tip to the frame (seems like a cheesy solution, but would probably work)
I'm leaning towards welding on a nut.
Any comments?
