KDXRIDER.NET

Hello all,

I just picked up a 2001 KDX 200 and I am quite excited about it. My son has had a KLX140 for a couple of years but never really got into riding until this year. Since he is showing interest in it I decided that I need to take full advantage of the situation and pick up something to ride with him. I had always heard great things about the KDX so I started looking on CL and found this.



Has kx250 front forks, RB head and carb mods, oversized radiators and a few other odds and ends. I am just looking for it to be reliable with the normal maintenance but, we'll see. I also can't help but to tinker with things

I have already done a couple rides on it and it seems to run great. I am contemplating doing the clutch because it seems to be grabby and hard shifting after things heat up and I have tried 3 different types of oil in the bottom end. It probably needs a clutch anyway and they aren't that expensive so I will see if that helps.

Anyway,just wanted to say hi and I look forward to the sharing in the KDX adventure with you all.

Jeff

Welcome to the forums. Congratulations on your KDX.

Good deal ,,,, amazing the amount of bikes converted to upside down forks.

Very nice!!

you picked the wrong bike

now, if you were looking for a bike you could park in lake Huron for the winter, run it, seize up the piston, break the skirt off if it, spray the cylinder down with WD40 and get another 12000 miles out of it...then I would suggest a KDX
but if your looking to do maintenance, get a KTM

Hahahah very well put!

But yea..... KDX is quite possibly the most reliable 2 stroke dirt bike on the freakin' planet. Seriously.... they'll run forever. Congrats on the new bike, it looks very clean! And welcome to the forum
