[QUOTE="TheGDog, post: 1250482, member: 80289"] I've been getting a little impatient with this whole waiting game that's been occurring as I delve further into the '90 KDX 200 and find more and more little things I should repair/replace/inspect/clean with her. So I've been constantly scanning Craigslist for just the right deal when ... BAM!!! There is was!!! A 1996 KX 500 for $1250.00 [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v322/TheGDog/KX%20500/IMG_0047-1.jpg[/IMG] And the guy lived super close to me too! AND... he had just gotten finished going thru everything to get ready for the riding season. New brake pads front and rear. Brand-spanking new rear tire/chain/sprockets. It already has a Desert tank on it! Full FMF system with Turbine Core USFS Spark Arrestor!!! And the shop/tech that re-sprung re-valved his bike is the same guy who made magic happen on a KTM 450 I used to have. And the previous owner was just a little heavier than me to that's perfect!!! He flushed the radiators, brake lines too! The only bad thing was that the kick-starter lever has some free-play in it (I think it can be cured with a new circlip) and when I went to kick her over in my street shoes (leather with a work-boot type sole & heel) my foot slipped off the lever at the end of the stroke and gouged me somethin' fierce down the inside of my shin bone. [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v322/TheGDog/KX%20500/IMG_0052-1.jpg[/IMG] After I stoicly re-gained composure without wimpin' out in front of the guy... he thankfully offered to let me use his riding boots temporarily to kick her over and go for the test ride. And Hoooo Leeee Shiiiiiittt!!!! The power in this beast is UNREAL!!! It took a split second for me to forget about the pain on my shin as I had to concentrate and being easy with the throttle on the freshly rain-wetted black asphalt. She wanted to claw at the sky in EVERY GEAR!!!! :yikes: I am soo excstatic right now! Now if all this blood and swelling would just go away... :p Hehe... so now I'm thinking Santa just might have a surprise for my younger brother in the form of a KDX 200 [/QUOTE]
