Message: [QUOTE="gn83tm, post: 680096, member: 38076"] I'm seriously looking at doing a KX/KDX hybrid and have a few questions I'd like to find detailed answers to. I've searched all the threads I can find on this subject and have gathered lots of info but still have a few unanswered questions. The bike will be used mainly for hare scrambles athough I do some enduros and mx. I'm looking at using a 1990 motor I have that has been modified by Fredette and runs great for what I am doing. I'm wondering what year KX125 would work best but am thinking of using the '99 and up model. I have found a 1994 that looks promising but wonder how far it would be behind the newer models. According to Eric Gore's book, it was '98 before Kawasaki came out with a bike that was better than the '94. I'm sure the engines have gotten a lot better but has the suspension/chassis improved a lot, especially considering the intended use of the bike? Any thoughts? The '90 motor has the head mount on the back side vs the mounts on the perimeter frame bikes being on the front. It looks like the rear mount will interfere with the tank although I don't know for sure. How does one go about solving this? The frame mounts and rear case mounts look straightforward. Is there still a pipe available for these swaps and if so is it more suited for the KX motor or the DX motor? What about the air box/boot? Any details on this project would be very much appreciated. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
