Good day all!
A brief intro for another former lurker and now n00b....
JohnG from Canton, TX here. 20+ years as a mechanic and now a factory rep (not powersports, sorry). I have been riding in the dirt for 25 years and have three children that do as well on their PW80. Youngest is getting lessons because he's GOOD and interested in HS/MX.
Just sold my street bike for the cash to get a KDX220. Despite lots of looking I got caught unaware of the piston problems, not at all happy about that. I've ridden Yamahas before and you just put mixed gas in them and rode 'em (ITs that is) with never a worry about failing anything unless it went bad-lean (yep, did that).
Spent a few hours on the "new" bike and it's a LOT better than any of the ITs I had of similar displacements and about the same weight and suspensions sure have improved in the last 20 years!!!!!
Nice forum, lots of helpful and knowledgable folks here.
Thanks,
