Hi there
I've got a 1991 KDX200 which is brilliant for its age. Only problem is I'm chewing through spark plugs faster than I can buy them. I get about 2 hours out of a plug before it needs to be cleaned or replaced. I'm running it at 40:1.
Any suggestions?

What heat range plug are you using? The manual states a NGK B9ES but members on here told me to run a B8ES to help keep from fouling plugs. Also, is your jetting to rich?

I'm running the NGK B9ES as per the manual. As for jetting, I don't think so but I can't be sure as I'm just learning. Any easy way to check/tell?

How to tell your jetting is off? Are you fouling plugs? Read the jetting guide and follow it: http://kdxrider.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=105&t=1156 Also, make sure you have a clean air filter and that your reeds are in good shape.CJ-D24 wrote:I'm running the NGK B9ES as per the manual.

One more thing to keep an eye on would be the transmission oil level. If it is going down you might have a crank seal leaking.
