I'm wanting to do a hybrid with a kdx 200 motor. What years were the engines the same? Like '88 - '95 and '96 +.
I've found a cheap '92, but I'm curious how outdated that engine is. I've got an '86 kx 250 that I can't find parts for and don't want to run into a similar situation with a '92 engine.
Thanks for the help.

89-94 are the same... 95 and up are the same on the 200 and 97 and up are the same on the 220.
I personally like the 89-94 motor better than the 95 and up but they like to chew up KIPS drum gears...

Thanks for the quick reply. One last question, I think. When they changed the 200 in '95, did the entire engine change (from the cases to the cylinder & head) or where the changes limited to certain aspects of the engine?
I guess what I'm trying to get at is if I set-up the frame for a '92, would I be able to bolt in a '95+ a couple of years from now without having to make changes?

The motor along with the frame was a complete redesign... sorry.
