1986 KDX200 hello from the Isle of Man

[richardktm]

Hi KDX riders.
I just picked up this aircooled KDX last week.
It was restored a few years ago with engine, suspension and wheel rebuilds and lots of new bits. It needs recommisioning after being stood for a few years, so i'm changing the fluids, cleaning the powervalve, which i think is stuck, and it has some play in the suspension upright bearings.
I plan to take off some of the original parts and put on modern bars and some old KTM pegs so i can trail ride it here on the Isle of Man, depending how it rides i may look at doing some vinduro events on it, after lockdown.
Regards Richard.

Welcome to kdxrider.net. Nice looking KDX.

I managed to get the bike up and running for a quick shakedown test ride. I did a comparison with my modern Husky and the KDX rode really well, I was very impressed.

HELL YEAH!

Thanks for posting that. Congratulations on getting it all going.

I must add, I see you all have those same STUPID ASS yellow weeds. I HATE THOSE!!

Hi Richard, welcome to the KDX family. There's a few of us here on the rock. (Say Hi to Mr Smyth for me) :-)
