Hey. I am buying a KX 100 in about two months here for a slightly early christmas gift.
Thats the good part.
I am now having many concerns with the maintinance of these 2-stroke dirtbikes. I am coming off a Honda XR, where all I really had to do is fill it up with gasoline and change the oil. Now with these 2-strokes, I am a bit concerned with all of these confusing maintinance issues.
I am not very knowledgeble when it comes to these mechanic type deals. Jetting, Rebuilding top end, etc..I see all of these issues here on these boards and elsewhere about things like jetting, rebuilding, flood levels, fouling plugs, pilots, mixture ratios etc.. I know nothing about any of these things..
Will a 2-stroke motocross bike still be good for me if I am not completely knowledgable about them? None of my friends who have 2-strokes really know much about them, and they seem to have all sorts of problems fouling plugs and breaking things. Then again, my friend only cleans his air filter once a month ;)
I am completely willing to learn and to really maintain this bike as best as I can. I will be getting this thing and riding in the winter, so I am concerned that I might have to jet the bike for colder weather, right? Is this something hard to do for someone who really doesent know all that much about these things? And again, I am completely willing to learn and everything but what I am asking is if these 2-stroke maintinace issues are going to have me in too deep.
Thanks in advance!
