Hi there new to the site.so 6 months ago picked up 4 parts bikes all kdx 200s..I remember this animals from my youth..got one all together for dualsport here in n.h..just waiting for newstator ...stripped all the way down ..new paint.. Bearings ...ect....just introducing myself...

PS.I know I'll have some questions when I get to the wiring......thanks

welcome aboard scotty

how many of them will you bring back from the dead ?
any of them come with a kickstand you would like to part with ?

show some pics :)

Unfortunately only one kickstand.out of the 4 bikes will have one bike plus plenty of spare parts..I do need a stock air box.can prefab one but prefer stock....side nunberplates are off a 85 don't like them but they will work for now....I painted the plastics....hard painting plastics or is it just me....once I figure out how to I'll post a pic.......

No extra kickstand sorry..

How do I post a pic here.

Look on the FAQ page and search for image: http://www.kdxrider.net/forums/faq.php
I post pics by uploading to another site and linking to the photo using the "Img" button which I see above when replying or creating a new post. There are many image hosting sites. I prefer http://www.smugmug.com/, but also have some on photobucket.

IMHO the best way to paint plastics is to use a product called krylon fusion
it seems to hold up great

if you decide to paint the fuel tank be sure to seal the inside of it first with caswell gas tank sealer

(this TTR used to be blue)

I painted the frame and it came out well..painted the fenders tank and front plate came out a little darker than I wanted it too.tough to match the kawi lime green

Reproduction Plastics for these older bikes are available at DCplastics.com....Not super pricey either.

Fredette racing has a plastic kit which includes both fenders side plates front head light plate reasonably priced too...figured I would get her running and dialed in first before cosmetics..she doesn't look all that bad right now...

Can I rewind my ignition coil myself...how can I tell if my flywheel is in good shape.?

I had my ignition coil (stator coil) rewound locally here in South America. Actually made the bike run better.
Without some way to turn the coil body while the wire winds around it hundreds of times you are looking at a near impossible job.

Welcome to the forums.

Thanks.I have read about people rewinding lighting coil.figured I would ask.the ignition stator is actually coated when rewound isn't it

Looking to purchase mint condition 94 kdx 200..I like the bike...any thing special I need to know about the 94 model year?parts upgrades readily available? Thanks
