New Rider - KDX220
Posted: 03:25 am Dec 18 2009
Just bought a KDX220 about 2 weeks ago and am slowly gathering gear to start riding. Haven't ridden it very much besides around the block a few times. It's an 01 KDX220 that I got for $1100. I honestly have no idea if I got whether or not it's a good deal or if I get jipped. Upgrades I've been noted of are VForce3 reeds, Gnarly Pipe, Cycra Bark Busters (not in pic) and some lower gearing.
Though, I've been reading about the piston issues and I've learned that the top end has not been done on the bike. So, I quickly ordered a Wiseco Piston Kit on Ebay and am waiting for it to come at the moment. Is this easy to do on your own, or am I better off finding a shop to have it done for me? I'm new to motorcycles, so I'm not exactly sure what I'm doing.
Also, I've been told I need to purchase a top end gasket kit if I'm replacing the pistons. Is this true?
