right guys where to start bought myself a totaly knackerd kx250 1990 used to ride dirt bikes back when i was 16/17 basicly top end is seized barrel scored front shocks r leaking frame needs powdercoated and a whole lot of other thing the question is i can get a running kx250 complete engine for 175 deliverd to my door but am unsure of its history no i have bought new big end bearings full gasket kit new conrod for my existing engine and was gonna get the barrel replated and fit new piston i already have a set of rings to get the barrel replated and new pison and rins would cost me about 200

do u think i should buy this running engine strip it down and fit the parts a alreday have or should i stick with my existing engine i have bought a clymer manual for the bike and is it easy to service and replace the seals on the front forks or should i get them serviced by a profesional

sorry about the puctuation any help would be gr8

Hi . I would buy the engine for 175 and fit your new bits it does not matter too much about the history of it because you and putting new internals in it. As for your forks i allways take them to a Mx shop i should only cost 70 to 100 quid but they do it day in day out .
