I bought this off Ebay a couple months ago, and it's at my buddy's house now. He drove to Missouri to get it for me, and he said it flat-out hauls for a 265. It won't look like this for too long (read sig). :devil:
Here are some details:
Laeger's 250R narrow chassis
Roll Design Lobo II +3 a-arms
Laeger's CR500 link swingarm
LSR Axcaliber +4 axle
Custom Axis long-travel shocks front and rear
Curtis Sparks 265R
LRD pipe and silencer
are you puttin a kawi kxf 250f motor in there?Quote:

I'll be using a KXF250 Tecate-4 engine with a 330 stroker kit in it. It will actually be 326cc, hence "KXF326 Project." I'll get all the benefits of the ultimate 250 engine and then some. If you've ever seen the Roll Design KX250-powered quads that were built for Bill Ballance and William Yokley between 99 and 02, then that will give you an idea of the finished product.Quote:

ok im sorry to all of you that think im talkin off a bit but i have one last question on this...
why did they just take the kx250 motor out of the bike im sure that is way better than the tecate motor, its already PVed and all that and it should already pump out alot oh Hp from being in a bike...
thats like saying take a cr250 motor and drop it in a R.
The R motor is beefer and im pretty sure its more powerful then a cr250 motor in a QUAD chassis. THe bikes motors are great but i dont think it would be worth the hassel because they cant deliver as well with all the extra weight.

I'm assuming you'll be doing this when you get back stateside? But when you do this Pleeeeaaaase make a thread somewhere and take lots of detailed pictures. I wanted to do this with my custom frame and get the frame built for the motor because from everything I've read, the Tecate motor was the tops of the 250's, the chassis just sucked. I decided not to because I wanted it all honda.
Just curious if you plan on hacking the Laeger frame?
Another reason for sticking to quad motors might be the fact that dirt bike R's aren't counter balanced...which blows in a quad...
Woodsracer144, they did use the KX250 engine in them. Doug Roll built the chassis and swingarms specifically for those engines. They were very fast, but like was mentioned, they didn't have a counter-balancer, and they vibrated a lot. They were eventually replaced with Honda 250R engines because the KX250 engines would wear the riders out. I know, I know, an all green Kawasaki with a Honda engine in it. :rolleyes: I'm not worried about the power at all. A big-bore Tecate-4 engine is no slouch. Not by a long shot.
250Renvy, don't worry. I will be making a thread about my project. I might not be able to update it every day, but I will tend to it. I plan on taking thousands of pictures along the way, of which I may post the majority online. About the chassis, I wouldn't say "hack" but modify. At a minimum, I'll need to move the lower engine mounts and modify the swingarm so it attaches to the engine cases. I'll fabricate a new head mount because they are removeable, and the front mounts will be cut from plate steel. The tabs for the front mounts aren't going to be touched. I have access to a plasma cutter, TIG welder, Bridgeport end mill, lathe, and any other machine shop equipment I might need. Being in the Army has its advantages. ;) I hate Frankenstein quads that look like they were put together with JB Weld and bubble gum. This is going to be one that people go out of their way to look at. I'll just have to wipe the drool off it a lot. :D
The pic My88R posted is similar to what mine will look like, and I have that one in my KXF326 Project folder, but I'll be using Fullbore fenders now that they are finally offering them in green. This is about 90% what you'll see when I'm done.
