As mentioned before here, I have a new-to-me '99 KDX 220R, it's been a few years since I've been on a dirt bike so I'm a bit lost. The bike seems to be in GREAT shape and the only mods that I can see are an FMF pipe and silencer. Before I ride, I want to go through it a bit.
I'll buy a new air filter and slap it in. The one in there is foam, but is not oiled (?!?!). Back when I had a dirt bike "No Toil oil and filters just hit the market. Are they still around? Do they work as good as they seemed at the time? I're read that I should pitch the airbox lid and re-locate the electronic widget that is attached to it. Any downside to this over removing the rubber snorkel only?
The coolant looks very fresh, so I'll leave that.
The oil in the transmission looks pretty black, what should I use to replace what's there....and where the heck is the drain plug?
Assuming the suspenders are stock, where should a 200 pound guy set things for woods riding?
Sheesh! I can't even remember how much air to put in the tires! 14 lbs?
Any thing else that I am missing?
Thanks guys!
