Just another KDX man
Posted: 01:08 pm Dec 03 2006
Hi all,
I've been riding KDX's since the mid-eighties. I'm pretty sure I've had eight total. My last one was a 97 220 bought in 96 that I kept until 03. Done lots of mods on them. Since then I've had an 02 WR426, 03 YZ250F, 04 CRF250X. Very good suspensions, all, but 4 strokes suck IMO - too heavy, too much maintenence and I'm afraid they'll start a fire in the brush.
So I just bought a low time 01 220, which I'm in the process of putting USD forks on. (Here in california to ride all year on a 2 stoke it has to be 02 or earlier).
I'm old (59) but still love to jam single track, and a kdx without those dang low-hanging fork tubes will be the ticket!
This site is great!
