a 2009 with a blown top or bottom end is a 600 dollar bike. That is Alaskan dollars keep in mind. 1500, i would be giggling as I left.i am looking to get back in rideing. I was waiting to sell my boat first and use that money to buy a bike. I still keep looking for bikes in the mean time. I see a 2009 Kx250f . Guy is asking 1500, but says the top end is blown and a boy $500 to fix That is all i know at this time. Keep in mind this is all Canadian dollars I am talking. If I could get the bike for 1000 to 1100 would it be worth the gamble? From what I have found out a new piston, wrist pin and cylinder would be under 500.
I'm trying to find out if he has had it looked at to come to his conclusion. To me if that's all it takes fix it and sell it for more.
I have watched some videos on adjusting valves and changeing pistons. Seems pretty easy.
Yeah I went a bit overboard.I totally rebuilt my crf and it wasn't 2k

But none the less "It just needs" on a craigslist ad is a great start to a horror story
turns into a real shit show here doesn't it.
theres a reason why the cases are back together with a new crank/bearings and I still haven't put the jug/head back on it....Didn't your totally rebuilt crf grenade to the point you were whimpering about design deficiencies??
it has an oem again, the crank that I pulled out was a hot rods.well as soon as you can spare them as a door stop, let us know how it worked. Another chinese crankshaft?
Yep, especially when you ask for opinions and then start questioning them. Doing that tends to fall into the category of "why did I do it in the first place". So when I see someone that does as I mentioned I think they were just looking for a way to kill some time, and SOME OF THE TIME, I help them do that. But if it makes you feel better I will say here that one of the scarcest models of it's time is a great buy, blownup, at 1500 dollars. Furthermore the way to the future, when talking about motorcycles is with an 8 year old one.
Hell, I have proven (personally) that there is one born at least as often as PT Barnum said, so why shouldn't you?
