2000 kdx with some issues

Post by two-stroke-brit »

sorted the Kipps with a new pin.
Well i had my first ever woods ride on the kdx200 ,
i was impressed on how trackable it is , i didn't stall it once ,
but fell off twice were i put a foot down and it was further than i thought.
need to fit longer bones to lower the seat height some, probably drop the forks a bit too.
but all in a great baptism.
not quiet as gutsy as my old beta trials bike .
but next outing will be to a local track with a MX buddy .
cheers for all the help and advise.
cheers mark
She might not be pretty but always a fun ride !

It's not a MX bike, so be aware it's too soft for jumping too big. Take it the Sam Houston National Forest, too.

Thanks David, no worries on the jumps (too fragile at my advanced age).
and the SHNF is going to get a visit or two for sure when i can get my buddy to get a KDX as well.
going to look for a local club to join ,
probably "Trail riders of Houston"
