I gots a question for the people who know. Here goes, I was wondering how my 92 KDX 200 Might compare in power compared to a newer H model? My 92 has a modded air lid, Fatty pipe, power core silencer, Power reeds and is jetted pretty good
Thanks!
Trying to figure out if I get a H model KDX 200 in Oct or a KX250
My old 92 is faster and more powerful than a new KDX. When I go over to my buddies house and he let's be ride it... I get a major rush!

John Cena: Are you talking about replacing the current KDX or adding another KDX/KX250?
I rode wsjkawasaki's '97 220R this past weekend for a couple of minutes. I think it was a little stronger than my '94, which is maybe a little stronger than my '87. I just don't think the various year models make a wide range of difference in power. The '97 looked narrower than I remember my bikes to be. I'd have to ride both back to back to get a fair comparison, and I was only riding hard for about 10 seconds this past weekend. Try to find someone to let you ride their '95 and newer KDX or KX250 to get a comparison. I would love to own a KX250 in addition to my KDX's.
skipro3 - On whether an E engine would fit in an H frame, I would be concerned about the perimeter style frame of the H models, since the E models don't have that. The head stay mount comes to mind. It may be different?
Head stay is in front on the H models and in back on the E models. Fredette specifically recommends the E series motor for KX frame transplants for just that reason. The H series KDX 200 that I rode seemed just as strong as my 89. The ergos were just a little better around the seat/tank area. I'd look at putting a KX front end on if your trying to keep the costs down.
Hi Jason! I plan on selling the KDX200 to a friend for a few hundred after I get my new bike. I'm thinking I might need a KX250. Probably get something like a 1999-2002 Anyone know which year KX250 has more low end power?
Check some of the older sections of the Dirt Bike magazine, Dirt Rider magazine or maybe MX Action magazine websites.
I saw a 2000 or 2001 used KX125 at a sorta-local dealer today. I knew better than to touch it and get started thinking. At another dealer, I did have to put my hand on the throttle of the 2nd bike on the following page for a Kawasaki Konnection.
I just dragged out a Dirt Rider from July 1994. The KDX has basically the whole front cover. It contains the 'spy photos' of all the 'new' 95's, KDX included. The KDX got a WHOLE page to itself aswell. Is it possible / allowed for me to scan the article and cover, host it elsewheres and link it back here ?? If not no problem I will email it to the interested parties.
"I want to die peacefully in my sleep like my grandfather, not screaming in terror like the passengers in his car."
Did I read it correctly when they said they went UP two sizes on the mainjet? I went down two sizes, chucked the snorkel and drilled a bunch of 1" holes in the lid.
Sorry but I must have missed something...who said they went up 2 mainjet sizes on a KDX??? That is certainly contrary to everything I've ever read about KDX carb tuning.

In the "200's" article in this month's Dirt Rider. I was wondering the same thing. I'm down to a 150 main and still want to go a little smaller. Maybe they've got a large mosquito population they want to kill.
