Hi every body, I went out looking at gear this weekend, the choices were mind bogling, I decided to do a little more research be fore I spend all my beer money on gear that is not right.
I have been studying archived post reguarding KDX220's and decided to do some work on the bike before I take it out.
One tech note suggested to regrease the rear linkages due to inadaquit factory lubrication. Has anyone ever tried to install grease zerks into the links on this bike, I am curious if I will run into a problem with a structural weakness if the links are drilled and tapped.
The bike is coming with 2 exhaust systems. The factory exhaust and a FMF gnarly pipe and silencer installed on the bike. The bike shop I purchased it from i Mississippi stated the bike was rejetted for the FMF pipe. Seeing as i am getting older and am not concerned with the cool 2 stroke sound I was thinking of leaving the Gnarly pipe on and reinstalling the factory spark arrester in an effort to keep things quiet.
My last question is when Boysen reeds are installed is the power more manageable or more violent, I am trying to create an easy to ride bike as possable.
Thanks everyone
