Message: [QUOTE="karlp, post: 1288588, member: 26082"] I don't really agree. The KDX motor is perfect for the woods for me. I've got a slightly modified 220 motor. My opinion is that trying to detune a KX motor into a good woods motor will result in a poorly running KX motor. The KDX's biggest weakness is the stock front forks. They really suck. They can be improved to be pretty good, but can't seem to match even a set of poorly maintained KX/YZ/CR forks. Of course trying to turn a KDX into a MX capable bike is a waste of time, in my opinion. Making the KDX an even better WOODS bike is easy with some improved forks. I ended up building a hybrid. '99 CR250 chassis with a KDX motor in it, so I am kind of agreeing with what you are saying when it comes to detuning a MX bike for the woods. I just prefer the KDX motor. [/QUOTE]
