My $400 KDX220

Post by DUSTY220 »

Hey yall, I picked up my first kdx recently.
Its a 2002 and I got for $400.
It needed a carb (was missing for some reason) and a few little things. But I have put about 80 bucks into it and she runs amazing.
I'm aware of the piston issues on the 220 so I will be checking soon to see if its got the stock one in it. Other than that I dont know a ton about these bikes, so any other advice/tips would be appreciated.

Welcome! Great bike and an even greater deal!

Since you know of the piston issue, just cover all the basic service things you would on any bike and you should be good.
