[QUOTE="glad2ride, post: 1234553, member: 62076"] AwfulSmokey, do you have any idea on when the forks were last rebuilt, oil changed, current spring rate? I would suggest a full rebuild of the forks and shock, with fresh oil and install the correct rate (stiffness) springs for your weight / type of terrain you ride / skill level. If you get the 1991 KX forks, you will need the complete front end, which means buying the front wheel, rotor, axle, brake caliper, brake line, master cylinder, fork guards, forks, triple clamps and all the bolts and such. Unless it is a miracle, your e-Bay purchase of used forks will need a full rebuild, fresh oil and the correct rate fork springs. Don't forget a revalve to make the MX forks into trail riding forks. 17 year old forks aren't going to be in much better shape than 19 year old forks. On the power, check all the standard things (start with buying the service manual) air filter in good condition, properly cleaned and oiled reeds in good condition timing set within normal range correct spark plug (heat range and gap) power valve system properly working exhaust sytem not clogged, properly sealed carburetor properly jetted rings / piston / cylinder / crankshaft within service limits For all the people recommending him to buy a new pipe, please consider that maybe more information is needed about the engine condition before slapping on a shiny new pipe?? Also, for the 1989 - 1994 KDX200's, there is only ONE model of FMF exhaust pipe, so no need to confuse him with Desert / Rev / Woods / Torque / Fatty / Gnarly. His engine is not running properly, and slapping on a $225 new pipe on a poorly running engine won't be much help. [/QUOTE]
