KDXRIDER.NET

I would like to know what size riders are on the KDX200s out there. I recently bought one, and it feels good to me, but I am 6'2", 230lbs and when I talk to people about having a KDX, they tend to look kinda funny at me. I don't think it is too small, but am curious about the other riders out there.

I am about 6' and about 220 to 230 lbs. I think it fits good. A lot of the guys on here are over 6' and 200 lbs.

we'll I haven't ridden mine much but I'm 6"4 185lbs and I have a 89 200. seat height is fine but the bars and tripples are too close and can't be adjusted unlike the h series bikes. I'm thinking once I get more seat time (cylinder being replated ) I will opt for some Jimmy Button bend bars or some rox risers. I'll also have to find some springs for the soft forks on the e series I have as I'm sure you will have to do too.
Other than that I think the fit feels good, but honestly I need more seat time.

5'9", 32" inseam, 35" sleeve, 190 lbs... fits like a glove, plenty of power, but not too much!

5'8", 145-150lbs. I love the fit of my E-series.

6' 2" 297lbs nekkid



Probably 320 - 330 in gear

lol.

I'm 5'6" 140lbs.

KDX is "one size fits all"??

Wibbs, you still get out and ride with Carvr? I gotta make it out there one day. The terrain looks incredible, and the company would prolly not be too unbearable....

He rode with me on the 70 miler 2 weeks ago

Had his first ever flat tire

Was pretty funny. We all were giving him **** and after he got it fixed Mr KTM noticed his front was flat too



Notice that green stuff growing all over? That poison oak

You didn't have a can of fix a flat in your swiss army suit?

I eventually gave Mr KTM my tube, after he patched his 3 times

He borrowed my pump 5 times before I just let him carry it

I replaced the tube in my pack with this (prepowdered and shrink wrapped)



We'll see how long the powder lasts

wibbens has got me beat but not by much.
6'2 about 270

I used to be 265 when I was working


Certain slimy conditions, I can get awesome traction when lighter folk just sit there and spin

Just ask that fugger from Idaho that rode with us a couple years ago

I'm 5'10" and 135 lbs.

Fits me great, front suspension was a bit too soft for my likings so I swapped in some heavier fork springs. Also installed taller handlebars

5'7" 155lbs. I cut the seat down, but didn't really have to.

When I sold my 00 220, one of the guys looking at it said, these are like a 3/4 size bike aren't they? I don't know where people get these ideas.

This is a 2-stroke bike that can easily straddle the two worlds of trail riding and competition. The only other 2-stroke that can do that (that I'm aware of) is the Husky WR250... if it fits your budget!

Usually a change of bars and/or risers can make a KDX 200 fit just about anyone.

A friend I used to ride with during the last century urged me to go with a 4-stroke; back then he also owned an '84 KDX 200 and he never liked the hit, the smoke, the noise. After he test rode the '99 I just picked up, his first words were "Boy, that has more bottom end than I remember." I pointed to the KIPS valve and smiled. I also pointed out how light the machine was and pointed out that no XR / DR / DRZ was going to be that light. The KDX is a very versatile machine for riders who have a few miles under their belts.

5'5", 135. My ride has been lowered, tho. Fits me perfectly!

Someones smoking crack

My KDX is just as tall as my KTM 250. The ergonomics feel different between the two bikes, but not because the KDX is any smaller, just different.

I would venture to guess that the people saying KDX's are 3/4 size bikes have never ridden or owned one, other wise they wouldn't be making this incorrect statement. Just my opinion.

I know that my KDX feels a helluva lot bigger than a '05 Yamaha WR250! The WR feels like a slightly larger TTR125!
