Introducing... Maude
Posted: 08:00 pm Jan 21 2013
Really, just more to introduce the bike. This is a pretty sweet day. I didn't think I'd be able to put together enough coin to purchase an entire bike at one time. I have posted a few threads on the General Q&A section, and lurked for a month or so prior to that. In case I ever forget to mention this again. KDXRider.net is 90% of why I chose a KDX. It's cool to be part of this group.
I got her today in Kremmling, Colorado. 2004 KDX 200 with FMF Turbine Core 2 silencer on it. I thought the bike was 100% bone stock. It's got new bars on it, and the silencer. Other than that, I can't see anything aftermarket. But I'm a dirt bike novice, so I'm sure I missed something.
I can't believe how well kept it is. The engine is clean enough to eat off of. (See pics) He said it was his wife's bike, and the suspension feels really soft and probably needs to be adjusted for my 174 pound frame; Unless she was a heffer. I didn't meet her, so I can't speculate. It's snow packed in my small mountain town, so I can't really run it through the gears. But I got out of second into third, so I think the tranny is good as well. The rear tire is brand new. I tried to show in the images, but not sure if its obvious. But the rear rubber has one ride on it.
I'm going to do all the basic new to me KDX stuff from the forum thread on that subject. Then, I'll likely pimp my dog out for some $ for a skid plate. Change the oil in the case, and then just sit and stare at it until spring.
Thank you to everyone on this board who answered my goofy questions, and got me the knowledge I needed to make a great decision on a bike!
