First race on the 04 Kdx200, Mungatuks XC
Posted: 06:25 pm Sep 25 2017
First race on the kdx! Borrowed her from a mate for the weekend with the intention of riding and 'trying before buying'.
Rode it the day before the race with the pro circuit pipe and practically bald tire in a wet forest. Not a good time, so the night before race day we went on a mission back to the shed and put the stock pipe and muffler on, and fitted a motoz trials tire with some big flat head screw drivers.
Thank god we did because the XC race in the Mungatuks was the muddiest wettest days riding I have done in a long time.
Heres a few photos from the weekend, Ill upload more of the actual ride when more pics are sent through
All in all I think I liked the power delivery and 'lug' of the kdx engine, but coming from a mx bike I wasn't a fan of the ergos.
The plan at this stage is to pick up a kx125 (hopefully this afternoon) and do a hybrid conversion. I should be able to get both bikes cheap
