[QUOTE="Hellbender, post: 842071, member: 56559"] Hello everyone, I've been lurking here for a month or so and thought I would join in, looks like a good bunch of guys and gals. Here's my history, I'm 45 years old, 185 lbs, 6'2" tall, lived, ate and breathed dirtbikes/mx (all 2 strokes) from age 10-20, have been out of bikes since then. I bought a used '95 KDX200 a couple months ago to ride w/ my 12 yr.old boys. Rough old bike w/ a pro-circuit pipe on it, stock otherwise. Fouls a plug every 3-4 hours of riding. I fell in love with most of it, except the low end torque and hard seat. I wanted a nicer bike, so I just bought a 2002 KDX220, stock except a FMF Gnarly pipe on it (Desert or Woods????, how to tell????) and UNI filter and some suspension work. It has never had any top end service, so I'm planning on a Wiesco piston and rings ASAP. I will be riding VERY tight wooded trails with my boys, almost all 1st, 2nd, & occ. 3rd gear trails, lots of logs to pop over, lots of idling and semi-trials type stuff. What I want out of this bike..... Very good throttle response off idle (hopping over 4-10" logs). Very Important---Ability to idle/putt around a lot w/o problems. Here's the mods I'm planning (from lurking this site)... New piston & rings, W/P bearing ASAP, clean KIPS While apart, Boyenson reeds (2-stage type) Torque ring from Freddette (?????) Airbox mod Proper jetting A slightly hotter plug(????) 12/51 gearing CEET taller seat Questions.... Will retarding the timing a couple degrees help the low end? Should I swap the bigger carb off the 200 and add an aftermarket divider plate ($25 bucks or so)? Reed spacer? Should I polish up the ports (not change, just polish) while I have the jug off??? Any suggestions (pros/cons) about what I'm planning? Thanks for the help, HB PS, I have a full machine shop and experience with automotive/off-road speed/suspension stuff, I can handle about anything mechanical. I am also a Mech. engineer/designer by trade. Thanks again. [/QUOTE]
