I need your help! You all are my only resource for good dirt bike info at this time. I'm getting a first bike and going it alone at the time so I appoligize if I've posted several "simple" questions. I posted a question about the KX forks on the KDX and that's looking good. The bike needs a new front sproket, no big deal 15 bucks or so. But it's on its original top end. I know this is a regular maintenance thing on two strokes. I'm decently mechanically inclined but have no exposure to dirt bikes. It's a 2000. Is it a concern that it's still the original top end? If not how much longer can I go on it? and, When it's time to re do it, I want to do it, how much time and money go into redoing the top end?
PS> I like this 2000 KDX 200 a lot, just want to be sure I'm making a good decision. It has almost new 773 tires, new FMF pipe and silencer, and the KX forks, for $1700. This is versus a '97 220 I looked at that is stock beyond an FMF pipefor $1500.
Thank you all so much for your help!
