Dear KDXer’s.
Spring is here and I’m needing to get my fat body on my poor KDX. Got 2 questions for you all. Ill try to avoid the, “I’d like to tighten up the suspension and need some more power…“ questions which makes everyone collectively think, “Read the fu$#‘ing Tech Tips!“ :aj:
However, my first question comes close. I am not the best mechanic. When I successfully changed the chain and the primary gear on my ‘89 KDX I felt a sense of accomplishment like you guys would feel having done the top and bottom end and KIPS on your works ‘02 KDX. My question? I have on lay away a FMF Fatty pipe I am a few dollars from getting. I understand it’s pretty straight forward to swap it for the stocker. My hopes are I can stay with the stock jets. Having listened to my mechanically challenged self description, is putting this pipe on a slam dunk, or should I leave it to the pros?
My second question is less likely to get the “Read the fu$#‘ing Tech Tips!“ vibe I will feel in my waking and sleeping hours. :eek:
I was thinking of selling my stock pipe on Ebay. It‘s a 1989 in good shape. I’ll keep and use the stock silencer/spark arrester. Second question. I have seen some folks selling used motorcycle parts on E Bay. They look like they came off the same old bike and are over priced. My question? I was thinking of doing a fund raiser for my church while gaining parts to build a nice old bike by selling parts on E Bay. :clue: I have a fondness for old Honda SL 125‘s like the one I rode when I was 15. Would buying old 125 carcass, selling some of the pieces and keeping the ones that could build one good one, raise money for my church, gain Fred mechanical knowledge and eventually a nifty old bike, or am I under a sober delusion? Be honest but kind. :uh:
Fred‘s tread has gone on too long.
:worship: Thanks for your time!
