It's great to be picking up a new sport! I've been downhill mountain biking for 20+ years in BC, and just picked up my first ever motorbike.
It's a 2003 KDX220R, and I've only ridden it down the block so far. I've spent a total of 2 hours on a 1976 110cc Yamaha last weekend and was hooked!
Thanks to your forum, I knew to ask the owner if the piston's been changed - he thinks the previous owner did, but wasnt' sure. I guess I'll have to pull it out.
One question - Kawasaki specs say 32:1 oil in fuel, but buddy who sold it to me said he and the previous owner always used 50:1 and that I should stick with 50:1 that the bike's used to.
Should I stick with 50:1 or change to stock spec? Thanks!
