My introducton,
Hello all, I have decided to return to off world riding after a 20 year haitus. I am an avid vintage mustanger ((Restore and Race)) ((Decent car mechanic)) in East Tennessee thus the ID FeelinFordy. Last dirtbike prior to this was a KE175 from the late seventies. Several street bikes in the interim.
I picked up a 90 KDX 200 last weekend and put on a few miles around the lakebed. Initial thoughts were lack of lowend torque ((Possibly KIPS)) the exhaust was leaking around the headpipe. The carb pukes gas unless running - ((Float)) The sparkplug was an AC R44XL ((isn't that a Chevy small block plug?)).
Questions:
Did these bikes come with an FMF Gold series pipe stock? Are the two springs all that holds the pipe into the exhaust port?
What is the right spark plug for the bike??
This looks like a great site and thanks for any and all assistance with the Newbie Questions. :ride:
