Here's the picture of his KDX

 

[NCFRC]

Sorry such a lousy picture , still in the basement and not completed.

 

[OLHILLBILLY]

That's pretty! :cool:

What kind/brand shift lever is that? And is it any longer than stock?

 

[NCFRC]

It's a Moose shift lever , stock length.

I think I'm going extend it 1/2 "

 

[mudpack]

It's got the "look", does it have the hardware to back it up?

I hope you saved some money for suspension work.
I'd put the effort in on that before the graphics and plastic........

Tidy workshop, though.

That looks pretty neat!

With the Engine mods as listed I think it will be plenty potent for a 14 year old. I've got a 4.6 Race-Tech rear spring coming to balance out the suspension for his weight. The bike has 10.5:1 compression for pump fuel ,a Blue-printed cylinder and full FMF exhaust so I'm confident it won't dissapoint. :whoa:

 

[NCFRC]

For now we're going to run FRP .38 front springs and a Factory Conn. 4.6 rear spring ,, valving will come later.

That is a sharp looking KDX! Very nice.

 

[NCFRC]

Thank you ,

It will be alot nicer when we can get it out of the basement and start riding .

Have you ever looked at the stock kick start lever real close ?
When it's out to start , even new the foot area leans backwards
15 to 20 degree's , so much so that your boot could slip off.
I took and cut the lever in half , ground a couple flat spots and overlapped and welded the lever inwards by 3/4 of a inch. It is now perfectly square with the bike when kicking and is the length of a KX unit,, for virtually no money.

Use a NAPA 3011 filter for the transmission breather hose , fits slick and lays right beside the air filter.

 

[NCFRC]

bump up :cool:

When I changed the rear spring I checked all the linkage needle bearings , even though not dry , they were very poorly lubricated from the factory. Use a high quality red EP grease and repack those babies, well worth the time.

I just took the kicker apart and welded a small bead on the base and the filed it back down to keep the lever from spinning around to half past 3 o'clock??

Hey I love your monster bike. How hard was it to convert your KX decals to cutting them to fit your KDX. Any problems with big spaces?

 

[NCFRC]

They were far from an easy fit and the shroud graphics had to be pieced , but the plate graphics are all one piece.
FX graphics are great , nice and thick and conform well with a heat gun.

I would have done the same thing but I wanted a shorter more compact kick starter . :cool:

Thanks ---- Bump :ride:

 

[NCFRC]

Hope to get out this weekend and get the top end broken in.

 

[dbika]

fusion, what year kx 250 did you get the monster graphics for? and what brand monster graphics are they? thanks

 

[NCFRC]

The shroud graphics are FX # 12-12120 KX-125/250 03-08
The plate graphics are FX # 12-68020
The others are a universal Monster sheet by FX
I'm very impressed by the quality as their all made by 3M .

 

[dbika]

thanks, wher did you order them from b/c there not on the FX website?
