Hello from Arlington, TX.
Hello, all!
Picked up my first 03 Kdx200 over the weekend and looking forward to the giving this lighter bike, 2 stroke world a go. Coming from a drz400, so I’m prob in for a bit of a learning curve. I will post pics once I’m over this flu, but for now I have the photo from the CL add I bought it from.
So far I have swapped out the bars to renthal big bars and a clutch lever set up I had sitting around the garage. Got fork springs and seals on order, too. Got to go through it a little as it has seen a few better days in its 14 years.
Looking forward to the insight of the group.

Re: Hello from Arlington, TX.
Thank you, sir.
Im a little bummed it didn’t have the lighting, but I suppose that won’t be too hard to source.

Hello from Arlington, TX.
I had a headlight from a 90s DR350 I threw on mine which looks pretty good. Lots of cheap options.Snapp200 wrote:Thank you, sir.

Awesome. I didn’t think about other model interchangeability.

Re: Hello from Arlington, TX.
Took a few better pics of my own today and popped around the court a bit.
Even did a practice pick up after laying it down in the yard. What a difference!! Lol

Re: Hello from Arlington, TX.
I saw that bike on CL. Looks clean. Hopefully they just capped the wires and you’ve got something to work with on the lights.
I’d grab a new fork boot or seal savers for the right fork before pushing it too hard.

Hello from Arlington, TX.
This group has multiple YouTube riding videos from all over. I even ran across them once (and rode with them for a while) while riding crooked creek near Waco. Nice group of guys. I have not been able to find their FB page or any other info about them online.spl383 wrote:Can you give me a link to this? All i can find is a horse riding page.

The group that I rode with was not on parade horses... There were a couple of KDX’s though.

Re: Hello from Arlington, TX.
It def looks way better in the pics. But for its age, I’m not complaining.B737driver wrote:I saw that bike on CL. Looks clean. Hopefully they just capped the wires and you’ve got something to work with on the lights.

I actually took that boot off to look under it and since it was already tattered, I decided to just cut it off and be done with it.
My fork seal/bush kit and boots came in today along with the front wheel bearings, jic. Expecting springs today as well. I’s a little heavy. :p
Hoping to have that done soon and inspect neck and move onto the rear section. linkage, swingarm and shock. Then carb and top end inspection. Once I’m there I am probably going to be hitting all you wonderful folks up on info. [emoji41]
And there is a lump of stuffs taped up behind the number plate, so I’m assuming it is all the electrical. Maybe a lamp socket? I haven’t un taped it yet. Maybe this weekend.

Re: Hello from Arlington, TX.
I may have actually been with that group or at least some from he group at one time, now thinking about it. I believe there is a link to them on two wheeled texans. I will go check.B737driver wrote:This group has multiple YouTube riding videos from all over. I even ran across them once (and rode with them for a while) while riding crooked creek near Waco.

Crooked Creek was such a cool place to ride! I hate that they closed it down..
My son was just getting ready for light trail work on his 110 and I planned on taking him out there to play a bit and bam.. the doors shut.
Hoping who ever buys the place opens it back up. The previous/current owners just couldn’t keep up with it anymore.:(

They are the initials of the individual who added me to the group. Didn’t want to put whole names on the board.spl383 wrote:What does H M mean?Snapp200 wrote:awesome! Thank you. Are you H M?spl383 wrote:https://www.facebook.com/groups/dfwtrailriders/
Thought it may have been you. As soon as I clicked on the link, it showed that note briefly up top of the page.
