[QUOTE="Jenx’d, post: 653177, member: 43647"] Thanks for the replies guys. To answer some of your questions, yes the pipe is the part that broke. Specifically, it broke on the frame side wher the rubber mount mates to the tab that bolts to the frame. This was just glued from the factory so I think some JB Weld will fix this just fine. My Clymer manual says to chuck up a length of frayed cable in a drill and run it inside the expansion chamber to bust up any carbon build up so I plan to do that. I still would like to get another spark arrestor as there is no way to rebuild the factory unit and it is full of 20 years worth of gunk. I have brand new Michelin S12s front and rear and those have helped tremendously. The rear shock has been leaking for a while so i know it needs seals, etc. The front forks were recently rebuilt but the left one has recently started to leak again. I am pretty sure all springs are stock and I’m not sure if they are what I need because I am a bigger rider (6’2”, 210lbs) and the thing is just a bear to jump. The brakes work as well as any drums I’ve ever owned but they are scary compared to any late-model bike. I have considered going with some later model forks and front wheel to have a disc setup at least for the front. Any ideas on setting this bike up for someone my size? Thanks again for all the help. Later, Jenx’d P.S. - Jasonwho, I see you are in Gadsden. I am in Montgomery. My buddy (’02 CRF450) and I have about 3,000 acres of land to ride on if you are interested. Let me know (H: 334-356-6340, C: 334-799-8237). I’m actually going to be up in your neck of the woods (Talladega) Saturday shooting doves on the Myrick farm out on Eastaboga Road. I’m taking the KDX up there in case the shooting isn’t good..LOL. [/QUOTE]
