[QUOTE="KDXIdaho, post: 1410313, member: 17046"] I recently purchased a clean '96 KDX200 for $700 (sweet, I know) and have been going through the same maintenance checks with this bike. Here are few things on this bike that needed attention before I hit the trail: Loose spokes Front and rear wheel bearings (mine needed replacing on both ends) Grease - cleaned and greased steering head, shock linkages Check air filter - air filters degrade over time; make sure that the foam and glue hasn't deteriorated (holes/tears), clean, and reoil Leaking fork and shock seals - I replaced them all Bleed brakes - I used the reverse bleed method with Dot 4 Clean out fuel bowl - Junk can lay in the bowl and get pulled up into the main jet at some random inopportune time; good time to clean the bowl and check the jet size for future reference Repacked silencer (stock silencer doesn't need repacking) Check cables - You wouldn't think that this to be an issue, but mine had a wrong length throttle cable and it would bind at full lock. Make sure your cables are correct, in good condition, correctly routed, and lubed. Check radiator fluid condition/level or, better yet, change it Change trans oil New plug Since some folks have already talked about piston replacement, I'll leave that be. Good luck and enjoy, [/QUOTE]
