I finally brought my first dirt bike a 1994 kdx200!!! I haven't had a chance to ride it since it needs some work. The previous owner did ride it but I refuse to until the sticky thottle is fixed with a new cable and spring. It needs new fork seals too.
Is it worth getting the online service manual from the cyclepedia website or just getting a kawasaki manual off of ebay?
Any advise for the kdx or being new to dirt bikes in general is greatly appreciated. I will post pics later. I already found a lot of good info on this site. Thanks!

Re: First bike a 1994 kdx200
I recently bought a 99 model. If I were you I would pull the top end and see what everything looks like. When I bought mine I was told the top end was pretty new. Come to find out it was never touched. Being that's it's winter where I'm at I wanted to have a fresh motor for the summer months. Also change the lower end oil and run good 2 stroke oil. Amsoil is great.

Welcome! I'm restoring a 92 and a 93 right now. I agree with opening the top to see what's in there. Helps to narrow things down later on if you're terrible shooting.
