New '01 220r owner from CT

Post by Toms220r »

Came across an '01 220r while I was on vacation. It's in pretty good shape - last owner claims the top end was done and he upgraded the fork springs, a skid plate, bark busters and installed a gnarly. I plan to add radiator guards as well and f&r disc guards. Looking forward to a few hours in the woods. Any suggestions? I also have a 250x which I love but also wanted a 2smoker for a buddy bike...so I'm good to go! If I could figure out how to post pics from an iPad....

Replace the stock piston, they are notorious for being a grenade

The previous owner says he did but I have no documentation. I probably will just do it for piece of mind.

Hey Jim - I've been on a search for a 2 stroke for a while...Dana would say a freakish search! I came across this forum in the process of my research...awesome spot and very helpful. I may bring the KDX to Remsen for a shake down...looking forward to this event!
