[QUOTE="pmullins, post: 921390, member: 61264"]
Just bought a 1993 kdx 200.  I know VERY LITTLE about these bikes, since I have been riding Honda XR 200 for last few years.  My 15 year old son has "taken over" the Honda and I thought it might be cool to go back to my 2-stroke roots (late 70's Yamahas).  Anyway, I like the bike so far but I have lots of questions.  First, what's the deal with the "upside down" front forks??  Are the newer models like this too?  Also, the guy I bought this bike from said you have to pre-mix your fuel and oil.  I thought these bikes had automatic oil mixing?  He said use 32:1 mix ratio.  Is this about right??  Also, everyone raves about how much low-end these bikes are supposed to have.  However, I am not feeling this.  The bike is super-quick mid-range and top end, but bogs down too easy at low rpm.  Could it be the FMF aftermarket pipe causing this or maybe a malfunctioning KIPS valve?  Or maybe I have gotten too used to four-strokes riding the Honda.  ANy help would be greatly appreciated.
