I will point out what I consider important for the KDX. Always run a quality 2T oil, clean the KIPS at least once a year, keep fresh trans oil in it, and always have a clean air filter. Those are really the basics for any 2T except for the KIPS.

Routine maintenance and you will literally ride it into the ground. Welcome to the site, now get off your computer and go ride! :lol:

What year is your KDX? What condition is it in? What info were you able to get from the previous owner?

Welcome to the forums!!!

The year is 2004, it's in good condition but haven't had a chance to ride it yet. This is because I have not got any boots that fit me and the bike needs some maintenance. Thanks for the tips.
