I bought an '87 kdx 200 at the beginning of the summer as a 1st bike. I know basically nothing about the mechanics of a bike but i only get a day of riding out of a plug. I have no idea what the jetting is or how to check and have absolutely no idea when the top end was rebuilt last(if it was ever rebuilt). i'm running BR8ES plugs in it, changed from a 9 but did nothing. Am i doing something wrong, theres always oil around where the plug goes i don't know where it comes from. Is my bike really screwed up? It runs great all day on a new plug and then when i go to start it up the next day it runs for about 2 mins and then just dies on me...pop in a new plug and it starts right up. I bought the bike from a guy in L.I. and ride it in upstate NY, thats why i'm thihnking about my jetting. Thanks for the space and any help.
