Hello from Ohio!
Hi everybody,
I just got my first 2 smoke...an '00 KDX220. I've want a 2 stroke for awhile, ya know...because it's a 2 stroke. My other bike is a DRZ400SM. Other than these two bikes the only other bike I've ridden was an XR80 when I was younger. I had never even ridden a 2 stroke before I bought this. To be honest I was looking into getting a yz250 because I didn't know such thing as a KDX existed. Since I'm just going to trail ride and not race the little bit I found out about the KDX made it seem better for my uses. So I started searching and came upon one. Honestly I bought it without knowing too much about it so I hope that doesn't come back to bite me I thought the bike was in good condition and it was well taken care of by the previous owner. I will attach some pictures once I figure out how to. I gave 1800 doll-hairs for it. Not sure if that was a deal or fair price. These seem hard to find.
Anyways I look forward to learning about this new to me bike on this forum.
Cheers

Hello from Ohio!
Welcome to the KDX family. One piece of advice you will get here is to check the piston in the 220. 220's have a weak OEM piston; the skirt breaks and basically destroys the cylinder and bottom end. If I were you, I would replace it just to be safe.

Re: Hello from Ohio!
Ditto on replacing with a forged piston. Wiseco is popular. Then you KNOW what's insid.

I plan on doing that this winter since it'll be time to put her away soon.
How can I post pictures? On the FAQs it says I need permission?

Re: Hello from Ohio!
Looks to be in really good shape. Stock save for the tank and shrouds. If you enjoy it and ride it it was worth the cost
