To everyone involved with this site I say Thank you! a thousand times!!!! This is a valuable place for info. I have made two mods in 1-1/2 days of ownership because of this site. If I can ever be of service let me know.
I purchased a model year 2000, kdx 200. The original owner said he almost killed himself on it.....Swears that it sat in the garage all of 2001.
So my bike is new and completely stock. Perfect shape, no dings, no dirt and NO MANUAL.....
First Mod was the 1/2 inch gain on the handlebars by reversing the mounts.
Removal of the snorkel and extra holes in the back half of the airbox lid was the second mod.
I have read many of the topics and will be making other modifications in stages. Could someone confirm my understanding and conlusions of several subjects and how my year model best benefits. These are the mods I will make right away.
13 tooth up front will stay and Changing to a 50 tooth in the back for more tractor power at slow speeds ( some top end speed loss...but not much)
FMF torque pipe with the stock silencer (better powerband overall, still quiet) Gnarly or fatty? which one?
Oil to Gas MIX Ratio: Did I understand correctly that I can mix at ratios other than 32:1 and not hurt the motor? How do I determine the ratio? Cam 2 racing gas is easy to get here in Rockford, Illinois.... Does the Gas and oil product determine how the mix can be modified?
Your help is appreciated!
