My father had a 1996 kdx 200 back in 1998 and obviously it was a new bike. That thing surprised me how powerful and smooth it was. Strong bike and very reliable. But the people that had that kdx in this film prior to the man here those guys ran the hell outta that thing. But this man seems like he holds value in things that bike has a good home now. Good video buddy.👍
Nice score, she's a runner. I remember i was riding my 79 IT175 in the trails one time and came across a guy on a brand new KDX 200, i want to say though maybe air-cooled bike still. Maybe this was 1985 or so, first time i saw one in person and we ride together for a couple hours. Fun times the 80's were, i actually still have my IT to this day. This will be a cool build! Sounded good too...
These were definitely solid bikes back in the day. I remember this exact year 89' So far the rebuild is coming along nicely. Look for part 2 coming soon!
Man what a joyful project!! You wont believe it but I have similar bike projects. When mxrevival started the rm250 project I was doing mine, it was a big surprise when I saw you finishing the suzuki (mine is still on process) and then some weeks ago I bought a kdx 220 from the 2000s here in Spain and some days after I saw you bought one too in the first kdx video. I hope mines ends as awesome as yours! Cant wait to see how this project goes! 🤘🏼
Hi there. Actually I think you are right. Originally I didn't recognize that the light was missing. As I was disassembling it, I realized that is was not original. The tail light wires were tucked under the frame.
I was wondering if you could help a noob; after months of weekend wars I rebuilt the bottom end of a rm65 (exact same as kx65). It's a 2003 and ran super strong until it wallowed out and froze up. That ended up being the crank shaft roller bearing going to pieces from sitting for about 5 years. Split case replaced fast fwd its all back together. However I can't for the life of me get the bike to start now. I have gone in circles checking compression, spark, timing, fuel... even with the carb out of the way and starter fluid into the cylinder; I can't even get a single pop (sound, a boom, a fire off, an explosion). So probably something really dumb (some little thing somewhere) is happening? Any ideas?
Whew. That can be an aggravating thing. Very hard to say. Fuel, air, spark (or electrical) you have all those things? Cdi and kill switch grounded well?
Hey there. Im not at all sure on that. If you have the measurements of the KX250 swingarm from outside pivot to pivot and the inside pivot to pivot, I could measure mine and see how close it is. The other thing would be swingarm length for chain size and handling as well as shock angle.
