Hello all, your input here is much appreciated as I am a rookie at the dirt bike game.
I recently purchased a used 2002 KDX 220 and took it out for its first half decent test today.
I think it rode great except towards the end of the ride, (about 1 hour long) I experienced two symptoms.
The first was a hissing sound which seemed to be coming from underneath the gas tank and in the engine area. At times I heard it while moving, other times I heard it while at a stop. It came and went, but only at the end of the ride.
The second was that two times it stalled on me in mid throttle, like it just ran out of gas.
I checked my tank, and there was still some in the bottom of the tank, but in using a flashlight, there is a white stick showing at the bottom of the tank. The fuel line is about 2 inches below that.
Does anyone have any thoughts on these two issues? Thanks.
