Hi everybody my new-used bike showed up today (2001-KDX220) nice shape, bought on ebay for $2525 including shipping. After reading several old post I decided to take the front and rear suspensions apart and grease everything.
Being a FOG I ordered up some Race tech springs, .44 fronts and 5.2 rear. Racetech recomends there 5W synthetic oil. A lot of post recomend Mobil 1 ATF (which i will be using). I also plan on using Mobil 1 2-stroke oil at 32:1, if anyone has had ant bad experiance with there oil I would apreciate a post! I'm in the car bussiness and get apretty good deal on Mobil products.
The bike came equipt with a Gnarly torque pipe and Turbine-2 spark arrester. I know this board ask a million questions about oil ratios and jetting, but I would apreciate some advice. I would like some advice for the following set up---above mentiond exhaust, Boysen #607 reeds (do you leave the reed stops on the cage with these reeds?) , TwinAir filter, air boxsnorkel removed and cover drilled.
I just plan on trail riding and do not plan on any hard charging MX type riding. My main question concers the main jet. Seeing as I have not riddin a bike in 20 years I do not feel comfortable going WOT in top gear a main recomendation for Minnesota riding (about 600' above seal level with varied temperature).
I can handle the test speeds on the needle, pilot and air screw settings.
Thanks everybody,
FOG-(fat old guy)
