Hello from the Pacific Northwest
A little about me and my KDX...
Living and riding in Oregon. Love the tight woods riding we have here. Started riding again after a 10 year hiatus; kids. But now my son 7, daughter 9 and wife are all riding. The family has really taken to dirt riding this year.
After riding a DR350 for a couple of months I was left wanting. I had always thought the KDX was a bike that I would like riding. I bought a 2005 KDX200 and giving it a spin through the woods I was in love. 30 pounds lighter than the DR350, thinner seat and snappier power were all the things I was looking for in the KDX.
I'm starting a fork swap, '04 KX250f, and trying to get the jetting dialed in. The site has been extremely helpful and I look forward to contributing to the KDX rider community. Cheers!

Hello from the Pacific Northwest
Welcome!
How do you like the tubliss set up? Do you think it's worth the money? How many tires do you think you could go thru on a set? $100+ is a lot for a tube but if it last 4-5 times as long it could be worth it.

Tubliss is okay, no problems. Previous owner installed so I only have about 150 miles experience with them. Time will tell.
