[QUOTE="KIWI KDX, post: 1440918, member: 88606"] Blast from the past!!!!! Im back in the saddle of a kdx again and loving it!!!!! I picked up this for $500 [URL='http://s248.photobucket.com/user/d21terrano/media/Screenshot_2015-01-16-09-51-48-1_zpsmeb0ggj5.png.html'][IMG]http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/gg173/d21terrano/Screenshot_2015-01-16-09-51-48-1_zpsmeb0ggj5.png[/IMG][/URL] also got a KX85 for $500 at the same time needs a piston and rings [URL='http://s248.photobucket.com/user/d21terrano/media/20150116_213737_zpsqqkptfgk.jpg.html'][IMG]http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/gg173/d21terrano/20150116_213737_zpsqqkptfgk.jpg[/IMG][/URL] I was told it needed a top end done, it turned over but was pretty scratchy so i figured it would need replating, when i got the clyinder off i found out the bottom end was toast too. So i bought another bike minus engine and wheels for $200 It had been fully rebuilt with 10 hours riding when the frame snapped, the guy kept everything else to make a kart out of it but never got round to it.
