Hi,

I own a 1987 KDX200 C2.

Im looking at making the bike road legal again as part of the restoration, can anyone recommend a decent knobbly tyre (for both front and rear) that will be road legal?

Also,

The motor has been completely overhauled, and also an FMF Fatty / DEP Rear silencer and Boysen reeds fitted.

Can anyone advise what jets i should be running as a decent benchmark to start with?

Thanks in advance all the way from the UK,

Mike

you might try going to http://www.fmfracing.com and seeing what their jetting suggestions are for that paticular model. That may give you somewhat of a base line to start with. Be sure and consider the other factors that will determin which way you go from there. Mods, airbox lid/snorkel, air density/temp,elevation, riding style etc. If in doubt, go rich first, Plugs are much cheaper than a top end& cylinder resurfacing. Not sure about the tires. Most knobby tires I am farmiliar with are not street legal. Look into some dual sport tires or maybe there are some trials tires that are ok to use on the street.
