Well after a month of dis-assembling, cleaning, lubing, re-assembling, tuning and dressing up; our 2006 KDX 200 is finally ready to go!

The list of everything I have done is far too long to list in this thread, but lets just say that nothing was left to chance, everything has been thoroughly checked out. I had three goals before putting my son on this bike:
1. Must be completely safe!
2. Must run good and be jetted clean.
3. Since I couldn't buy him a new bike this time, I really wanted it to look good.

Though we are still on a quest for more power, the safety, clean jetting and looks came out pretty decent IMHO. So I thought I would share some pictures with the folks that answered my dumb questions and helped me get to this point.

Thanks Inda, and thanks a bunch for the help you gave me and for putting my fears about the KIPS noise to rest!

I really wanted it to turn out good because he is coming off of this bike!

That is beautiful! How many man hours do you have in the restoration?

About 60 hours I guess, but I tend to work slow.

Sapphire, Thanks for posting the pics in this thread. I wasn't sure if their size would make the page load too slow or not, so I just put in the links as not to cause a problem or be a trouble maker.
