1998 KDX220R Linkage

After years of neglect, I'm finally putting some life back into my 220. Karma is getting me for the neglect as I have worn through the linkage bearing and ruined the uni-trak elbow. A new uni-trak elbow is $170 CAD plus tax, more than I really want to spend. I'm just wondering is there any other model bike that I can take the elbow from that will fit my KDX. Lot's of part bikes in my area, but not a single KDX :sad: .

Welcome to kdxrider.net.

Grease was a dollar. Way to save a dollar. :grin:

EDIT: Let me put a smiley on that. Someone got onto me by PM.

1995+ KDX200 / KDX220R is what part you need. Buy a used one on eBay or elsewhere.

Was afraid of that, guess I'll have to keep an eye out for a parts bike. Thanks for the reply!

Those linkage parts are usually on eBay. Maybe someone will ship to Canada. Just be sure to check the pics to make sure it is in good shape.

You aren't the first one to not know it would do that, and you won't be the last. :grin:

Look for "linkage" not elbow.

I don't have a linkage, but I do have a set of 220 dogbones and the bolts if you need them.

My dogbones and bolts are somehow perfectly fine. I appreciate the offer though!
