DGA said:Here's my 1986 KDX, yes, it's 24 years old, I bought it new, motor got a rod set and Nikasil recoat bore job a few years ago, Wiseco piston and dropped the bore clearance down to .0018". Also has KX 125 reeds and the squish closed up, makes so much power and the suspension works that well that I see no reason to replace it. The fuel cap split on my last ride so I made a new carbon fiber one for it as I couldn't find one. Parts are getting hard to get, I try to not drop it to badly because of that. Note the rear brake.
Hi DGA, I'm a 1988 KDX200C3 rider and have been wanting a reliable rear brake for years. How much work was involved in the disc conversion? I see you retained the original swing arm, where did you source the new bits? Have you got any pics just of the rear brake set-up, I'd be really interested.
