Ever hear of our trading places program here at KDXRIDER?
It appears our names have come up!
Anyway.... there are a few sources for the manual including Ma Kaw herself... but they are expensive and take a long time to actually recieve.
This is why most get the online manual and just print what they are going to use everytime something comes up.

haha Russell is the only one not for sale.. but i guess you can make an offer..
but i have another question.
how often does the kdx need to have the top end done? i ask because i bought the bike used, put a little tlc (chain, sprockets, lube cables, coolant, etc..) but never checked compression or anything. what should the compression be?
i dont put around by any means... i find myself pinnin her back quite often but by no means am i travis pastrana.. how many hours can you put on a fresh top end?

4-6 years is not unusual. The KDX is unusually tough ...

The compression is around 130 +/- 20 psi. ( I think, it's been a little while since I looked. The E's are higher than the H's.)

Here's my offer:
You send me the tickets to fly to maui to spend a week with Russell, all inclusive.
IF I like him and we get along ok, you can buy the tickets to send us back here to Illinois.
If I don't like him, I will swim home.
So, wuddya think?
