I'm planning on basically doing a nearly complete tear-down and rebuild so that it will better serve as a mountain ready dirtbike for the central rockies of Colorado (5,000 to 13,000 ft, 40* to 90* Fahrenheit and plenty of rocks!).

I guess you could say I like repairing older vehicles, or maybe it's the covid effect of working at home haha. I had a H series KDX for a bit in the past, can't remember if it was a 200 or 220 because it was a loaner and I didn't ride much at the time but one thing I do remember is it was FUN!
I currently have a 2020 Beta 200RR and it's ridiculously fun riding all around the high alpine of Colorado on the pipe. Unfortunately the Beta has succumbed to an electrical issues which requires an ECU replacement - so I figured while it's awaiting that repair this would be a fun project that I can eventually keep as a loaner bike or a bike to ride and put less hours on the Beta while trying to be a better rider with less bike - a training method that I think is severely underrated
