Teaching quads a lesson
i know bgm is doing one with the 85 frame and like an 89 motor, but he has to cut and fabricate so his motor will fit. you thinking of making the new 87 you got into a 500?
1985 KXT 250 Tecate - kx cylinder, kx ignition, bassani headpipe, answer silencer, v-force reeds, 38mm airstyker carb, +2 franks swinger, raptor rear shock.
1996 YSF240 Blaster - maxxed out!!!
Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting "HOLY SH-T, what a ride!"

The day begins with 3WW
Its not completely bolt in. As far as I have read you need to notch the frame about the spark plug to clear the plug itself, fabricate new motor mounts and some other lil things. The pipe fits without too much trouble as well I do believe.
Search over on 3wheeler.org for KXT500 and you should find a thread with pics from a fella that did the swap. Not bolt in but hella close, a ton easier then my swap.
