Anyways,it turns out that a good friend (and the head mechanic at my preferred local shop) had actually been looking at that same XT on CL (I didn't know when I'd bought it),and he was really interested in it since I was no longer riding it (I've been riding the wheels off the Sherpa though
),and wanted to know if I'd be interested in a '91 KDX200 he had just rebuilt the top end on (I know he'd done it,I was there while he was putting it back together 
)--"HECK YEAH!" I said,LOL! It needs a few minor things (regular wear and tear/maintenance stuff) and some cosmetics,but it's mechanically sound and came with receipts for every nut/bolt he'd put work into on it,and as of this evening,that fresh top end only has around 45 minutes break-in time on it. I'd seen a few white ones over the years and always liked em,which was part of my wanting it,but mainly because I've always been a fan of KDX's. A couple pics...
A lil about me. 43 year old dad to 2,husband to 1 for 24 years,"legally disabled Veteran" (I say it like that and always explain,spinal injuries did come on the job in 2001,but not service related as I served from 1991-1995. A co-driver wrecked me in an 18 wheeler in Utah in 2001,twice broken neck with damage all the way to the lower lumbar--could have been lots worse though,I live fairly active despite pain/issues with it obviously since I'm here,LOL,I coulda not even been here,so I don't complain when it flares up :) ). Grew up riding,starting on a Honda Passport scooter at 6 or 7,raced moto (and later as a teen hare scramblers too) from age 10 to about 26 (the accident happened when I was 28) and moved to road bikes for a while before selling everything to get started again after some financial troubles when I was forced out of work,and now you know....the rest of the story (for those old enough to remember the late Paul Harvey
)I do have one question about 1991 KDX's. During part of the engine break in while I was putting around at various throttle positions today,I noticed that with a full tank of fuel,on every turn/bump,etc fuel was leaking out around the gas tank cap,is there supposed to be some kind of o-ring rubber piece in the cap to seal the cap on the tank and prevent that? (if there is,mine's missing and that explains it)? Thanks in advance :)
On the gas leak issue,that's what I thought it might be,and glad it's something simple (inexpensive
