How many hours or miles per gallon can you get out of a mostly stock 1988 model KDX200? With basic trail riding? As a four stroke rider most of my life I dont know what to expect when I pick this bike up on Saturday. Three four hours of riding? 8 hours? Just an estimate would be nice. Thanks for the help!

Do a search on some key words and you'll find anecdotal information which varies from 20-80 miles.

There isn't an answer that is THE answer. Too many factors. A recent thread regarding hare scrambles 'mileage' had input from some that (mileage wise) would take two tanks of fuel at a local HS event.

At least you have a reserve (well 95+ do..don't know about '88).

Any checking on this forum will show you that a whole lot of bikes are jetted poorly (too rich, generally). You should check it anyway (welcome to 2-strokes!), but if range is an issue, you REALLY should make sure it's close.

Have fun!
