[QUOTE="MotoBK, post: 1378123, member: 116083"] I just got my first motorcycle, a 2001 KDX 220! I plan on using it for trail riding in the open desert OHV areas here in Southern California. I have a couple of questions and or ideas: 1. The bike smokes quite a bit, and bogs in first gear. I know that it has really old gas mix in it? It also blows oil....even go black specs on my helmet. Is this the old fuel mix, or a possible jetting issue? The bike feel strong mid to high...and in higher gears. 2. I took off the pipe to see if I could tell if it had a Wiseco piston....can't tell. Looks original to me. 3. I plan on doing the Top End right away, as I am going to send my fork and shock to be set up for my weight. 4. The bike spooges a bit from the pipe/silencer connection....Is this normal...or part of the possible jetting issue? 5. I also will change the gear oil, and coolant. I am just looking for a plan of attack to get this bike set up to go riding knowing that I have done at least the basic things to give me a chance of having a reliable bike. Thank you for your help in advance. [/QUOTE]
