Your bike sounds and runs great! You are fortunate to have some good trails that close to your house. I have a 1999 KDX200. Just finished putting water pump seals in.
I had a 1996 Kdx with 240 kit best bike in woods i ever raced . Watch Carson Brown KDX in Tennessee knock out hard Enduro race . Top 20. Its all rider skill.
My dad had had a 90 kdx 200 and a 97 ktm exc 300, been looking to get them running, about a year ago me and my brother got em to at least make some noise so they’ll run but, the ktm is in relatively great condition yet its in a few more pieces than desired, but the kdx deff needs a lot of love, would love to both running good. carbs still seem to be in good shape so some pointers on where to go for a tank for the kdx would be awesome.
@@owencrandall8709 mine has a very mild porting only cause someone else did it before and I had to match my sleeve to it. From everything I read you really don't want to mess with the porting. Especially the exhaust ports. It can ruin the bottom end torque. However The castings are usually very rough and it can help to smooth them out and get rid of the nasty bits of aluminum in there.
I tried riding the kdx 200 not long ago cause people swear by one so I was going to buy one strictly to trail ride behind my son and it was just way too under powered for me to enjoy at all. I ended up buying a Crf 250f.
@@jeffdacey4673 I'm sorry to hear you didn't like the kdx. I can almost 100 percent guarantee that the kdx you rode was not running properly. Probably had broken powervalves or something. The kdx was never a super high performance bike like a 250cc motocross bike or the Suzuki rmx or anything made by KTM, husky in that time. But still a relatively powerful and highly capable trail bike. The newer Honda CRF 250F is a great woods bike. Will be even easier to ride than a kdx, but not nearly as capable. The CRF has 2 inches less suspension travel in the rear and has thinner more flexible, softer forks with 8.5 inches of travel. Where the kdx has 11.4 inches. These two bikes are really not in the same category. The CRF is made with a low seat height. An air-cooled 4 stroke made to be beginner friendly and low maintenance. The kdx is much faster and can be ridden far more aggressively. Even though it's 30 years older.
amazing video, music to my ears man!!

Sweet bike man. I'd love to own a kdx or rmx.

@@thormulch-gulick3929 they're all UFO, they may not have them in stock on the website but check eBay 💪
@GermyBallswell thank you I appreciate it !
Badass bike 😎😎
I’m building a 1989 200, is it worth porting the cylinder?

Idk man, noise pollution in the wilderness isn’t inspiring :/
if a tree falls in the woods does it make a sound? I don't think the wilderness cares, lol
you must have so many friends
