After searching hours online, I couldnt find a good review on the 2005 kdx200 or 220r. So this is why you great people are here, could you tell me if there was any new changes to the KDX from 04 to 05 except the BNG(bold new graphics, which i think arent as good as the 04). Any help is kool :nod:

Part numbers for the KDX-200 04 and 05 seats are different on buyKawasaki. My 05 has a "gripper" cover on the seat. I have heard the 04 did not. Someone else can verify this.

Actually I looked at mine & there not that thick. Has anyone tried Ski Skins to place on the frame area where your boots rub against?
