I have a 2000 kdx 220 and it just seems to have I balls in 1st and 2nd. It just winds out do fast.
I always read about the kdx putting you in your ass but I am a pretty novice rider and it just doesn't seem to have it.
In 3rd it will get some too end speed but where is my bottom?
The bike had a 49 renthal rear spriket when I bought it and I am 190lb without gear.
Could this be a symptom of bad reeds or low compression??
No Balls??

I am also getting a puddle of premix (not filter oil) in the air boot

You should check your reeds and compression. I would also make sure your KIPS is working and aligned correctly.

I agree. If you got good compression pull the reeds out. Fuel oil in box is a good sign of the reeds curled open or broke. A 47T rear is stock so your should have nice bottom end with a 49T.
If all is ok like Tedh98 said check the KIPS timing. If someone did a top end some of the manuals are wrong and your KIPS maybe open all the time.

Re: No Balls??
You don't mention any mods to the bike. Pipe? Also, check you jetting. Not only did a pipe wake my 220 up, the jetting afterwards really got it going.

Re: No Balls??
