kx 250 exhaust valve on back order

beebe · 11-30-2006

Some times its a pain in the rear to try to get parts! Here is how the whole disaster started. I bought an 01 kx 250 to upgrade from my 92 rm. After bringing it home I found many problems. I looked the bike over real close but I guess it wasnt good enough. Now the big problem, I needed a top end and replate on the cyl. So I give it to a, what I thought was a good shop who would take care of me. They tell me 4 weeks. A bit long I thought but its winter so ok. 6 weeks later they tell me its done but now the exhaust valve is on back order from kawasaki which is 4 weeks out! These guys are killing me. I checked every bike shop in town and nobody has one. So anybody have any ideas how to get one quick kx#12005-1305

OK im done venting

Thanks lakeshore, I appreciate your help and advice. I was able to talk to a shop in california who had the part laying around.
Nice to deal with guys like you in the cycle buisness, willing to help out when you run into problems.
