Just remove the right side cover to expose the kick start mechanism. Remove the bolt on the end of the shaft, tow washers and guide then the spring. It has been awhile since I worked on the KX 250, but as I recall, the clutch does not need to be removed in the process of replacing the spring. I could be wrong on that. Below is the kick mechanism on your bike. Please rate my answer. Thanks.

it sounds like the float,in the carb is stuck,,so not stopping fuel as it fills.....give it a tap on the bottom of the carb if no joy take off and clean,,,

There should be a allen key plug to take out of the caliper then once this is out there will be another allen key head behind the plug to undo (this is the pin) just undo, take out and the pads should be able to be removed.
Pay close attention to the direction pads come out and any spacers between the pads and brake piston as you want them all back in exactly the same with the new pads they stop the pads from rattling around when riding
good luck regards Jamie

did u take out your jets out & poke wire through them. i had one that had green goo that didn't blow out with air, had to poke it out

The plug on the side engine casing is for 10w40 motor oil. NEVER use synthetic lubricants or oil with 'special' additives. They can mess up your clutch. The 10w40 motor oil is shared by the gearbox and the engine because they are a single unit.

Use 4 ounces of two stroke engine oil for every gallon of gas. That will give you a 32 to 1 mixture which is the industry standard. If the outboard motor is a 2 stroke (most of them are), the engine oil is the same. Note the difference > Engine oil verses Motor oil. Motor oil in the gearbox, Engine oil in the gas.

If the bike is real bouncy with no dampining you need to have shock rebuilt you cant just add oil to fix.Most rear mono shocks have a little bottle of nitrogen gas on side of shock.When shock seals go bad the oil and gas leaks out. Most times it is cheaper to find shop to rebuild shock then buying new one.Mono shocks can run anywhere from 250.00 to 500.00$.you can get rebuilt for about 100.00 to 150.00$ depending on parts needed.

Insert a screw driver to the carb's adjuster screw. Turning clockwise will increase the flow and turning counter clockwise will reduce the flow.

go with your own u will never wrong

turn off the key, hold the choke button and keep on kicking the crank handle for a few times but dont turn on the accellarator, After that turn on the key and release the choke button and slowly turn on the accellarator after every kick

Yes , you should be fine since you will only be stretching up one size. Most tubes will fit a multiple of sizes. Just work carefully so you do not puncture the tube while installing it.

Here is a diagram of your transmission.

If you can remove the old one,just bring it to any bike shop and they should have it.There are probably at most 4 different kinds over the last 20 years.Also,one brand isn't any better than the other.There may be slight differences,but they are not worth $2-3 apiece,I don't care what the parts guy says.It's his job to make money.It's my job to give quality advice based on facts and research,whether I get paid or not.Gold or titanium tips or whatever they are trying to sell these days makes no difference.A good metal to metal electrical contact is what matters.Gold is actually one of the softest metals too and I sure don't use them.They are much more likely to scratch just from putting on and taking off the plug wire. Good luck and ride on!Greg

You need immediate repair. It can be caused by blown gasket or cracked coolant line

Sorry guys but its probably not!!! left hand theads the clutch nut is peened down on the threads dont beleive me look you eill see little lines or punch marks on the nut their is a special tool you can buy or you can make one like i did to hold the clutch hub still.You were on the right track with the impact wrench if that dont work you dont have a big enough air supply for the wrench good old elbow grease should get it i did it by hand after i had the tool. PS- you must punch the nut in a few places once reinstalled. I learned the hard way by breaking it first
