Message: [QUOTE="KM Burgess, post: 194838, member: 25453"] [b]KDX200[/b] I owned a 97 KDX200 here in Australia (the road registered "J" model), it was a great bike but I ended up making many mods to improve it, first thing I did was rip off as much of the road stuff I could bearing in mind that I would be putting it back on later, by the time I had finished it was nothing short of sensational. Some of the mods included: Cylinder Porting: I cleaned up all the casting marks in the reed housing, I enlarged, shaped and angled the transfer ports and I cleaned up and matched the exhaust port to the pipe. I also fitted the following items: an FMF fatty torque pipe and power core muffler, Boyesen reed valve with pro series carbon fibre dual stage reeds, a Wiseco pro lite piston kit, Barnett heavey duty clutch, Race Tech gold valves front and rear with USF1 oil, swapped the light .35mm/kg front springs for Race Tech .42mm/kg units. Fitted Renthal bars and sprockets (14/48) with Regina o-ring chain. Works Connection frame guards, radiator braces and MX glide plate. I fitted Dunlop rubber front and rear, a One Industries seat cover and graphics kit. Removed the air box snorkel & fitted an NGK racing plug (BR8EGV). The carby was set at 48 pilot/165main/standard needle in the 3rd clip position. It was run on Premium unleaded with Shell VSX2 synthetic premix at 40:1 Believe me when I say that this bike really hauled arse, handled fabuliously and was a pleasure to ride, wheelies were easy as the front end lofted easy, it had a huge mid range hit and a strong bottom that could be lugged. It was very reliable (never failing me mechanically in the 3 years that I owned it). Sadly I had to sell it to make way for my KTM520 (I wanted to get away from premix fuels). Cheers [/QUOTE]
