September 12, 200619 yr I'm halfway through rebuilding an early kt 250 ex-works bike, has anyone out there got any info on them to help me along??????
September 12, 200619 yr Get hold of a copy of Don Smiths "Ride-It Trials" book, plenty of pictures of his works KT250's in there. usually a few copy's around on ebay. Which works rider had your bike? and would be interesting if you could post some photo's. Regards Martin
September 13, 200619 yr John Hulme is the man you need - he has loads of brochures of old bikes. you can contact him through www.YOU HAVE USED WORDS OR A PHRASE WHICH ARE NOT PERMITTED ON THIS WEBSITE. PLEASE DELETE YOUR POST/TOPIC. DO NOT TRY TO CIRCUMVENT THE FILTERS IN PLACE ON THIS WEBSITE.co.uk (i think)
September 13, 200619 yr Lots of KT stuff on this website if you haven't seen it already - link below The first works, pre-production KTs were 400cc - not one of those is it...?? KT website
September 13, 200619 yr post some pics - must be one of the best looking trials bikes ever! don`t let martin tell you the red and white swm looks better.
September 13, 200619 yr Author I might be able to hide behind a bush !!!!!!!! LOL I spoke to nigel birkett last year and he told he only rode a few trials as a kawasaki works rider, so he coud'nt really remember much about them. i've got a copy of don smiths book its pretty good. For some reason my kt was red and black not green and white and its got a really early production number on the chassis number. Any one got any pics of an early kt 250 works bike with red tank, side panels and mudgaurds???????????
September 13, 200619 yr how do you know its an ex works bike??. my friend owns one of don smiths ex works bikes which he bought about three years ago.
September 15, 200619 yr Author i bought it from a m8 who knows bob gollner, he looked at it a couple of years ago and he said it was an ex works bike!!!!!!!! i think he should know if anyone.
September 16, 200619 yr i bought it from a m8 who knows bob gollner, he looked at it a couple of years ago and he said it was an ex works bike!!!!!!!! i think he should know if anyone. By ex-works, maybe he just meant that is "used to work", but now it doesn't anymore!
September 17, 200619 yr One giveaway to tell that it might be an ex works bike would be by looking at the clutch actuating cover i think kawasaki used the mx type rack/pinion mag clutch cover its a dead giveaway by being painted black and very slim at the front doing away completly with the oil pump and its compartment? are you sure its not a gollner KT?
September 18, 200619 yr Author It has got the mx style casing, and some totally different foot pegs and various other different bits and bobs!!!! and the standard type KT frame not the chrome gollner one. When i bought it i noticed it had a yokohama trials rear tyre on it ???????????????? Has anyone else ever seen one?????? i've spoke to a lot of different people and nobody else i have spoken too has ever seen one before??
