Newbie here, what with all the oil coming out of my KDX

I'm new to owning my own dirt bike but have been riding them since i was little. (never had money for my own. Waaa!) Anyway, I have an 89 KDX 200 that I have fallen in love with. It loves jumps, cornewrs and overall hauling *** .(fast)

I'm learning how to maintain the bike myself and was wondering. It seems a lot of oil is on the spark plug and dripping out of my exhaust. (enough to notice)

Is this normal because of the 32:1 gas oil mixture? Is this a symptom of a gasket or something?

Thanks for everyones help. I'm hoping to get the whole bike rebuilt in a year. (But i just cant stop riding it long enough)

:ride:

found something

One thing I realized is that the rubber collar holding the silencer to the pipe was a little loose and warn. i bought a new one and the silencer is a bit rusted so I can only assume that the previous owner never repacked the silencer. I tried to get it apart with no luck.

I am buying a new silencer just so i know the service history and the new rubber piece. I'll check the compression.

I know my jetting is probably not perfect but I have NO IDEA how to do it. I'll check dave's subforum on jetting.

Thanks for the help everyone. I appreciate it a lot! :worship:
