Hi guys
Tilts here, located in South Wales in the UK.
After spending the last few years riding the orange KTM's ive decided to go back riding a KDX 220..this will be my 3rd KDX and to be honest, probably the most fun dirt bike ive ridden over the years..
Picked up a 99 KDX 220 for £400..road legal but in some need of some TLC.. engine sounds OK, but will have the head off to check barrel and piston.
I do plan to strip her right back and rebuild with some tasty mods, but being a fat boy...i think my initial time and effort and spare pennies will be directed at the suspension, been reading some of the posts on the KX front end swap, so i think thats my plan of attack.
Anyhow, great source of info, and ill try and post some pics and vids of my new little project as i go...any help on the front end conversion will be handy!!
Cheers
Gone green

Hey Dude. Welcome back to KDX. I'm also UK based (Surrey). Bought my '02 220 in Montgomery, Wales about a month ago.
Currently waiting for my Wossner piston to arrive. Engine in bits at the moment...
