Default help need advice

all these parts are for the same year 99' but i have a Australian 250 where as the ad says klx 300(us im gessing), will these parts fit?

and with the parts and postage just getting close to $1000aud i would love to hear some ideas for cheaper parts.

thanks guys

Try a
local breakers yard. This model has been popular in AUS for quite a few years. Only last week I picked up a complete engine from a private sale for $150. Pretty dirty and without a carb'. When I got inside here she was sweet, oil was clean and everything moves as it should., even got a spare Irridium plug.

Sorry , no I don't want to sell the head.

Looks like I lucked out. $150 was a steal.
Checked the numbers with the DMV, all's good and honest.

From what I've read, the combustion chamber on the 300 is larger than on the 250. This will lower your compression ratio.

Ride on
