For those of you that are interested in the kdx220sr differences I put together a short video

THANK YOU for the video! Several of us in the USA wonder what other market models look like.

A couple of things to add would be the electrical system, stator, coils and such. Also, the steering lock and key.

Good to know, I didn't know the US version was missing those things

kdxdazz, your video is brlliant!!! Huge thank you for expending the effort to make and share it.

Know the primary element that makes the USA model differ is the KDX 220 in USA is an off-road / dirt only model. So, it can have a factory plastic tank and does not require speedometer and Department of Transportation (DOT) lighting.

kdxdazz, all USA KDX's were dirt only.

No DOT (Department Of Transportation) approved tires
single rider only (no passengers - no passenger footpegs)
no batteries
no indicators (blinkers)
suspension set up for "dirt only"
carbureted and ported as such
pre-mix fuel in plastic tank, no steel tanks
no high/low beam on the headlight
no brake light(s)
exhaust system for dirt use, non-road use
18" rear wheel on full-sized models
no key
no speedometer
some had tripmeter only, some odometer and tripmeter, some had none

Cheers guys, if there are any needle experts, I'm trying to get the jetting dialed in on this, stock needle is stamped N2BD, I can't decode this to work out which direction I should go but straight diameter is 2.45mm
I tried a JFN needle which has a 2.48 diameter and it wouldnt run at all the tip is so rich that it exposed more surface area of the main jet which affected it all the way to idle, so just when I thought a new quite a bit about jetting this one throws me a curve ball, I know CV carbs behave this way but not sure why a keihin PE does
