What up KDX folks.....I am new member from North Carolina and wanted to say Hi. I am in desperate need of some fellow KDX lovers advice. Not sure where to post so I will start here. I have what I consider to be an absolute immaculate 1988 KDX 200 which I have owned since it was new. It was actualy winterized and stored for nearly 17 years. I recently broke it out, put in a plug, added gas, oil and a new air cleaner and it fired up on the second kick. Holy crap, how I have missed this bike. It runs great considering how long it has been stored (indoors). Here goes the big question....I want to rebuild the top end and anything that it may need. Problem is I dont know what all that would be. There are a ton of parts out there on some great websites and even ebay. What do I need guys......(i mean everything that needs to be done it make it run like it was 1988 again? Thanks for all your help and I look forward to hearing what you experts say! FYI, already got tires--its a start (LOL)!

Welcome to KDXRIDER.NET!

I can't help you mechanically, but I can honestly say how awesome I think it is that you have such an impressive machine. 17 years of neglect should have some repercussions to it; but if you treat her like the babe I am sure she is, forgiveness should be in your immediate future! :supz:

Glad to have you in our humble home!

You will need to use an image host like Photobucket, and then paste the img code to your posts here.

Wow, what a beauty! It really doesn't look like it needs much to be a reliable and fun bike. :supz:
