1991 KDX200
Hi all, I have just recently acquired a 1991 KDX200, and have just got it running. It sounds good and shifts smooth, but when I start it up, the water in the radiators goes straight to the over flow tank, and out the overflow tank onto the ground. When its running the overflow tank looks like a jetted tub it is super pressurized, I thinks its the head gasket, but I want to hear some other thoughts on that. Also am wondering what the stock bore and stroke is.

Yep, the system is being pressurized.
Did you replace the head gasket (or have it apart)?

Re: 1991 KDX200
ok, another question, my 91 has been sitting for 15 years and the clutch is not disengaging when you pull the clutch lever. I think maybe the clutch pads are stuck but I'm not sure. What do you think

Re: 1991 KDX200
Have you changed the oil?
Setting for 15 years is not the best thing for them.

Re: 1991 KDX200
Did you try to put it in gear when it was running?
They can be a bit stubborn sometimes but generally you can break it loose by putting it into gear with the clutch lever pulled. At idle if the bike dies when you shift into gear try a bit of throttle and shift up from neutral into 2nd gear.

Re: 1991 KDX200
Well I actually forgot that while filling the engine with tranny fluid I ran out so I filled the rest of the tranny with motor oil. So most of the tranny was filled with motor oil. So that's probably why the clutch was a little sticky, lmao. I forgot I did this so I recached out to you guys when the problem was my own stupidity lol
