TWO-STROKE TUESDAY: 2006 KX250 BACKYARD DESIGNS STYLE

A very trick looking 2006 KX250 built by test rider Jared Hicks is center stage on this weeks Two-Stroke Tuesday brought to you by Boyesen. The Hardware section on this weeks post has items from Wiseco and Barnett Clutches to rebuild your two-smoker and Sonic Tools has everything we need to complete the job. Need a 2-stroke music fix, don’t worry Two-Stroke theater has you covered. If you are in the market for a new two-stroke don’t miss the link at the bottom of this post!

This machine started out as a completely stock 2006 KX250 bought for around $1,500 off Craigslist and was transformed into what you see now by Backyard Designs USA CEO and test rider Jared Hicks with help from key companies like Pro Circuit, Boyesen, Ride Engineering, Faster USA, Morts Powersports and the Race Tech engine department.

Jared had some help from Morts Powersports in Alabama with the engine work. The lower-end was rebuilt using a Pro-X rod kit and bearings.

Race Tech’s engine department ported the cylinder and milled the head for more torque off bottom. A Pro Circuit exhaust and Boyesen Rad Valve were also added to increase performance.

Faster USA billet aluminum hubs anodized blue were laced up to Excel A-60 black rims.

Aftermarket bolt-ons from Boyesen, Torc1, Pro Circuit and CV4 helped complete this KX250 two-stroke build.

We call this build “The Alabama Slammer”. With a black frame and swingarm blended into black and white plastics accented with blue anodized parts most people have to stop and really look to figure out what kind of bike it is.
