1984 KDX 250. Typical Issues?

Post by NV Rider »

I`m looking at possibly purchasing a 250, listed as an `85, but possibly an `84. Are there any known issues with this particular model I should be aware of before I pull out ye old Visa?
I`ve been told that this specific bike is idling a little high and is missing a chain, but should otherwise be in OK shape except for some cosmetic issues. I just ordered the chain so I can install it before I go to possibly buy the bike.
1981 KDX 250. Purchased February 2017. A work in progress
2010 Cervelo S1. I know, no engine, but it is a bike;-)

Check to see if the linkage has any play in the rear suspension. It can be hard to find new parts, but otherwise I love my '82. Lots of power down low, very easy to work on. Not sure of any other typical issues as I've only had mine for a short time.
