Interesting question. Since the only difference between the 220A and 200H is the cylinder, head, and carb, there really isn't a need for a dedicated section. A while back I collapsed several sub-forums into general Q/A, since our member base and total topic count didn't really support so many sub-forums. I had planned on dumping the KDX200H threads into general as well, since that is where most of the 95-06 kdx threads end up anyway. Model specific was intended more for bikes that are considerably different than the 200H and 220A, such as air-cooled models, E series bikes, etc.

don't forget the chain, 200s run an X chain where 220s run an O chain...big difference there specially in price :lol:

True. The point remains, I haven't felt that we need a dedicated section for a slightly larger cylinder bore, smaller carb, and different chain. Or shall I say, a larger bore, smaller carb, and different chain does not a specific model make. :)

Anyway, that's the thinking behind it. As far as Q/A and 99% of the parts go, 200/220 are the same machine.
