KDX Info needed!

Post by Somkid »

Hi, I Live in Northern Thailand and have just bought a 'barn find' KDX200. It obviously needs some work but does start... its not been used for many years and very little scheduled maintenance gets done on anything here.. They ride it till it stops. Saving grace is that parts and labor are relatively inexpensive (many parts from Japan and China with no import duty or shipping costs)

What's unusual for this KDX here is that its got a legal registration book and could be used on the road, I only want it for the woods (or my case Jungle...)

So, I obviously need some parts.. problem now I've started to strip it down is that I'm not quite sure what model t is, or what engine it actually has. Registration book says 1993 and with its blue USD forks that may be right but.. It may have had an engine swap so I'm hesitant to start ordering before I can be sure what the engine is. Now it May be original but if you look at the picture of the engine number it looks like its been done by hand, cant believe Kawasaki wouldn't be able to line the characters up.. number matches the book. Is it a 93 engine?

I'd also like an opinion on parts for the KIPs , looks like some of the aluminum bushes (if that what they are) are badly worn.

If anyone has any useful input, it would be appreciated!

Looks like a G model KDX200SR. has the frame hoops for the pillion foot pegs and the metal tank, Engine looks to be a G (has the oil pump mount flange) and looks like the factory stamp to me. We have another Thailand based member on here who may be able to point you at parts/help
