Hello everyone!
I'm a brand new KDX owner. Picked up a 1991 KDX200 with title this morning. I paid $800 (hope that was a fair price). So far, the bike runs pretty well. Biggest problems right now are leaking fork seals, and slow idle. She bogs a bit in 1st gear but screams in all other gears so perhaps the carb needs to be cleaned/adjusted?
Anyway, I'm happy to have found this site. I'd like to do a full restoration but not quite sure where to begin. The previous owner threw in an original maintenance manual which was a nice bonus. The bike has the usual wear and tear from use and age... a few small surface rust spots on the frame here and there, etc. Overall, I think it's in good shape. The compression seems strong, and no leaks or blown gaskets.
Here's a pic of my new toy!
P.S. Anyone know where I can source a kick-stand? Everywhere I look, it's out of stock and says the part is obsolete.

Re: Greetings from NEPA
The previous owner told me the only thing he added was the FMF pipe. The fender bag says Kawasaki on it and looks OEM. Not sure about the handle bars though. Everything's there, even the odometer. The odometer cable is gone though so that's one more thing that's gotta be fixed.
