KDX 200 Fork Seals, Handle bar bushings, and more! 

Thanks man!

That sounds rough, when I did work on stuff at my old place, I had to step over multiple things and the mosquitoes would eat me alive. The garage has become a huge game changer! I am going to design a french cleat system for the wall above my work bench.

Thanks man!

The only real problem that I have with these forks is how low they hang down. During race they can get snagged on rocks and ruts.

Not too much for the seals, just clean everything thoroughly.

@@LilBJessup so I don’t have to take the damper and cartridge out

I found those on Ebay oddly enough

Clean as f

No, the 1986 has different forks. I am sure that there are some similarities though.

Mainly Amazon. I also get a lot of stuff from rockymountain

Atf? It is automatic transmission fluid, for cars. It is equivalent to about 7weight fork oil and doesn't break down like fork oil.

@@LilBJessup no, I meant the fork level. Or do you just fill using capacity? Manual says 530 ml. Just was wondering.

@@mikakey55 I do not have a way to measure the correct mls, and with oil, because of the viscosity, some will always be left behind. When you put in the factory amount, it should give you the same distance from the top with the spring out. Which is 85 to 89mm.

@@LilBJessup seems like everyone has a different method. I changed my fluid today and it was more in the 140 range with 530 ml so I'm going to add to get to a level closer to yours. 👍

@@mikakey55 it works good! I've got no complaints about my suspension and I race some gnarly stuff.

holy cow! 160K miles, that is a lot of seat time. The seals honestly are not that hard.

@@LilBJessup Yep....was averaging 20K a year while I was commuting to school, and taking long summer trips (the single life with a military retirement had it's advantages for sure!). Those numbers have dropped drastically since we had our daughter though....although she rides with me on occasion. I guess it's the thought of a spring taking my head off that makes me so paranoid about the fork seals, because I've removed and replaced all the body parts to get them painted; replaced a u-joint which went bad (real pain in the butt), along with the driveshaft; and multiple (28) oil changes, and (5) sets of brake pads. That last oil changed ended up with a ride on a flatbed because I didn't notice the old filter seal had stayed on the engine, so when I got about two miles down the road it started spewing oil everywhere.....LOL It's never to late to make a stupid mistake I like to say!!!

I'm hoping that PJ gets his concours on the road this week, I want to take a trip in the Appalachians to catch the leaves changing. His bike has 122k miles on it!
