Picked up a 06 KDX 200 from a buddy

Post by josefmd »

Hey all! It's been years since I have been here, but I am back on another KDX 200 :grin: Little history, I bought a 06 KDX 200 back in 08 ish.. off Ebay from a guy in Jersey. Added the FMF woods pipe, Turbinecore 2, re jetted it, etc. Rode it for about a year then sold it to a guy in VA to buy a 09 KTM 200 XCW. In 2012 I sold the KTM to get a street bike. The last few months I have been riding with my buddy and borrowing his 2000 KDX 220. Another buddy bought a 06 KDX 200 back in 09 and rode it very little. I jumped at the chance to buy it from him when he decided to sell it. We have made a pac to always keep it in the family :wink: I bought it basically all stock, and added the woods pipe, Turbinecore2, Pro Taper CR high bars(the stock bars were bent up pretty good) removed air box lid, and finally added MSR hand guards for the time being have to get some bark busters. I currently am running the stock jetting, and it is running very clean!! Better then my previous 200 jetted down a few numbers. I am thinking now that something was amiss either the float level, or even a bad seal or something. Anyway, just wanted to check in and post a pic of my 06...

I used to race a KTM 200 XCW (downsized from a 450). Fantastic bike, but sold it when I thought my two wheeled days were over. Then my son decided he wanted to ride again so I bought him a 2005 KDX 200. I have to say it's a blast to ride and while it's not the competitor the KTM 200 was, it's way cheaper and darn close!

Exactly!! I always kicked myself for selling my other 06! It feels really good to own other! I am never letting this one go :grin:
A little GoPro action from my short ride I took today before the WX moved in!!
