Congrats! :cool:

Keep a good eye on that tranny. It is a known weakness of the '00 KX

Actually the tires are better than they look in the picture - I noticed they looked kinda shot in that pic but they're at about 80% - plenty left for the riding I do. They'll probably last me this season. Thanks for the advice! :cool:

I will post a ride report as soon as I get it out. It's still in pieces in the garage right now - waiting on wheel bearings. That and I'm away on courses for work all week. I live in Alberta so it's -10 (C) right now and snowing off and on - the weather is very frustrating. You just start to think spring is here, it hits +10 and sunny for a few days - then it drops 25 degrees and starts snowing the next day...

You guys will be the first to know when I get her out for a rip :)
