KTM250XCW and the Killer - KX-DX220r, Ha!

Kool. I work with Reese, lucas's brother. I'm running 323. Only races 3 times so for. Got 5th at farm country

5th is darned good in that series!

We didn't make the last two races. Daniel broke his collar bone at the Geismar race. He should be healed and ready by the end of August.

Keep me in mind if you ever decide to sell "The Killer".

I think I'll be building another before I sell this one. I'm going to keep my radar up for the right bikes for another hybrid. Granted, I donated my 2007 KLX300r (sold it to keep wife from leaving and taking half of everything) and my son gave me the KDX220r motor, but I actually had no out of pocket money associated with this build. But hell, I'd do it again just for the satisfaction! This was fun. Again, thanks to guys like ebeck and other for sharing information and providing inspiration!! I'm pumped!

Will do! I'd love to see the KX-DX in person.

C'mon now, it's not too hot. It's like this half the year, at least!

The bike looks very nice.

Well its going to get to 104 tomorrow! However, it was killing me to sit and just look at it. 4:00 am in the morning we are headed to the woods, should get there around 6 and will most likely be back by noon. 3 hours of riding and 4 hours of driving but heck. it not every day you get to take your first ride on the KX-DX220r you just built!

Bike looks great, have fun riding!

By the way, how did you handle the air boot - use the KX or make the KDX fit?

I made an adapter plate and used the KDX boot. My son said its ugly but air tight and functional. You can"t see it with the plastics on.

We went to Forest Hill, Clarborne Trails. We managed to get 43 miles in before it got too hot. The bike was GREAT! Did about 10 miles on the single track (boy scout loop) before we decided to run the woodworth loop to keep a better breeze going.

I really can't get over the response and handling. Now granted, I was riding a 2007 KLX before however, my son was very impressed and said it was more fun than riding his KTM (After riding the KTM, I agree). It took me a while to get use to the response. I have to admit, it got away from me once coming out of an up hill turn and it came over on me. It seemed like I needed a ramp to get the KLX wheel off the ground, this thing was challenging to keep it down. I believe I only went into 3rd gear maybe twice as the trail straighten out. As soon as I hit third up she came!

It was so much fun!

P.S. Plus I only lost one bolt, lower bolt on kick stand!

The Lousiana trail riders association puts on some good events. Those guys may know of some riding areas closer to you.

If you want to come to Alabama for some serious singletrack, you are welcome. We've got about 20 miles of trail 10 miles from the Mississippi line on I-10. That'd only be a 4 hour drive, each way, eh?

Thanks for the info and invite. We'll keep that in mind.

We have been talking about making an out of state ride once it starts to cool down a little. Good 3 day weekend plan. I hear Arkansas has a few nice spots also. I'd love to ride trails up in the hills which have a few nice vista views. Don't have those in Louisiana!

We looking to order Excel rims.. 18'' for the rear. What does the different sizes refer too?

18x1.85
18x2.15

second number refers to?
which better?

Width of the rim..... Measure what is currently on yours... I believe you want the wider one....

+1 on the 18x2.15

ok thanks guys. That's what i thought, but just wanted to make sure.
