changing brake pads on kdx 220r

[mbern3]

Does anyone know if there are any documentation on how to change the brake pads on a 2002 kdx 220. I could experiment and probably get it done. Just want to avoid any problems.

Thanks in advance :cool:

Sure is - fully documented in the factory service manual (just like everything else ;) ).

 

[mbern3]

and.. I take it, we as customers cannot hope to get this manual?

No, it is available online from www.kawasaki.com or at your favorite kawi dealer, or favorite on-line retailer.

Hell you can even get them all the time at that auction place.

The factory service manuals are great, and worth the price.

HTH,
Phil

They are worth it, although you may experience a little "sticker shock" upon purchase.

ANy idea if this would be the correct one to purchase?

Im pretty sure you need the regular service manual. you can get the 2002 kdx200 1 here I'm pretty sures its the same as the 220. http://www.ronayers.com/browseparts.cfm?searchstring=99924-1181-03+++

You need both for the 220.
The 200 one is big, then the 220 one is just a supplement to it.

Expensive but very worth it.

I got both, and the 220 one is pretty stupid in my opinion. Kawasaki could have easily added those few pages into the 200 manual and probably saved themselves and their customers money. The 220 supplement has the engine bore specs in it and I think some mention of the o-ring chain. woo-hoo! Definitely get the 200 manual, the 220 add-on is optional IMHO.

thanks for all the help all!

Against better judgement and being way to impatient. I made the mistake of getting the supplement - boy that was a waste of money. Should have waited.

The book supplied with the purchase of my bike does contain alot of helpful info.....just does not cover brake shoe replacement.
