[QUOTE="bmonnig, post: 541988, member: 36555"] Guys, I own my '00 KDX 200. It's still above my skill level, but I love to tinker with stuff. Also, it's no secret that as I advance I'll find the KDX's suspension/frame technology to be a barrier. Not an issue now, but just looking ahead. I've got a line on an '01 KX 250 that can be had for a good price. It was raced for a season, but it still in good shape. So...the question becomes...what would I have if I put the KDX engine in the KX frame? I'd have great suspension, good chassis, good usable power, etc. Wouldn't it be the ultimate trail bike? A KDX with current tech frame and suspension? I know I'd be sacrificing tank size (can buy KX enduro tank), and I'd be gaining MX grade suspensions for playing on the track/rough stuff. To reiterate, neither bike has an issue. They're both in good shape, so I'd have an '01 KX 250 engine and an '00 KDX 200 rolling chassis to sell after the conversion. I would think I could have the hybrid for little more than what I paid for the KDX, after parts are sold. I'm not in a big hurry. I know it's the "rider not the bike". I know I don't need an MX-er for my skill level and desires. I know I don't *need* this conversion. But it'd be a fun project, keep me occupied, and should result in a great bike bike...shouldn't it? Or...am I stripping the KX frame of power, and stripping the KDX engine of it's "meant for trail" frame? Most of you guys are more experienced that me. Let me have some feedback, here. Thanks!
