Hello everyone. so basically i bought a beat up kdx200 in hoping to rebuild it.
get the manual online, start dissembling, up to a point i am STUCK, because i DL the wrong manual.
I am stuck on the kips system where i cant take everything apart and its diff with the manual i got. my KIPS is somehow with less moving parts than in the manual.. like way less.
Apparently i dont know which model i have!!
my vin no is : DX200C 015102
engine no : HI DX200 GE 008955
Can anyone here help me or show me the correct year and models for manual??
i got the USD fork which is Blue in color (its odd)
and i was told it was 1995, which is wasnt....
Please help a noob...

Welcome to the forums.
Thanks for the pictures.
Frame number (not a VIN) is 1988 KDX200
Engine number seems to be a "G" model, maybe 1989.
1990 was the start of USD forks for KDX200G.
Post some pics. Sounds like a Frankenbike for now.

thank you Jason, that helps alot!
i was so frustated about the manual i forgot about the picture
here is when i got the bike and jetwash it for solid hour and cleannn.
and here i disassemble it.
now am stuck with the kips part...
here is where things get tricky, i am pretty sure that the bulge under the smiley can be taken off because there was 2 nuts holding it, but i am not 100% sure because it seems hard to pry it off.
and here is where i think i can just pull the rod off. (mind me i dont know what everything is called)
any advice is very needed.

That is a KDX200, probably an SR, which is a model G, check the numbers again, maybe it is a G and not a C.

The G model was never brought into the states, but a bunch went to Europe. There are a few folks on here with them. A lot of E-series parts cross over, but I don't know of a definitive listing.
