Hey guys I'm on the hunt for a rod kit for my 84 kdx200
I know pro-x makes one that will work I believe its for a kx125 but unsure of the year

Any Help would be appreciated
Thanks Mikey

Vintco is a good source for vintage parts - they come close to matching your kdx200 but not quite. Still, it might be worth a call as they list out dimensions for their rods and might be able to make a match.

I see one listed on ebay - no idea on the quality or vendor - good luck!

If it was me, I'd call Hot Rods and see if their 8102 gets recommended as a replacement.

On partzilla.com, the 1981 KX125 has matching part numbers for the following:

washers
crank pin
big end bearing
small end bearing

The rod is not shown individually.

Vintco shows their kit as fitting the 1980 - 1981 KDX175.

From what I have read, that is Casey Lytle's brother and parents' shop. He was a pro racer in MX for a while.
Thank you for participating on kdxrider.net. :bravo:
