New to the scene

Post by Digger6 »

Good day members!
New to the KDX world, just landed my first 06 KDX 200 at a steal of a price. Have not been riding for 10 years, last bike was a CR 125 "screamer"
Best mate in high school had a KDX 200 and always abused me on the top end, but when it came to the tight trails and thick "BUSH" i came out tops on the CR 125.
Would love to do the fork conversion on the KDX 200! Im not a fan of the stock forks, and enjoy getting the wheels off the ground now an then.
Thinking 125 MX forks?

Welcome to the forums. Congratulations on the '06.

What have you done to modify the current forks?

Cheers!

Forks are stock, no mods done.

comfortable on single track trail riding, but that urge to get a bit airborne is always there!
Never worked on the forks before, what are some adjustments to the current stock forks or mods?
Can 125 mx forks work? Or forget about it and appreciate the bike as is.

Fresh oil and maybe at a higher level will help some. Otherwise, your budget on a conversion vs. making the stock ones somewhat better would be up to you. Springs are for a certain weight,but the stock springs are pretty darn light.
