Hell, just get rid of that bike, and get an old kdx 250 like me and tom(radonc73) have. The best of all worlds! Really, there all great. There green!!!

Cool car canyncarvr. I have a 72 340 Cuda, that I am restoring, of course I rat holed the original numbers matching, low compression, cast crank 340 and am building a 70 model 340 to drive/play.

So would a 200 compared to a 220 be kinda like a 69 model X head 340 compared to a run of the mill 360? This I understand better!

I'll give a 200 a try when I get a chance, but all the guys I ride with ride woods prepped CRs and one has one of those funny orange bikes.

I ordered my .40 fork springs this week and plan to get some gold valves soon. I plan to do the R&B mods this winter when I want be riding to much.

My 02 is green all over, but not for long! I'm kinda drooling over the new black Clarke tank and I have an extra set of shrouds that will soon be something other than green. I plan to get the black front and rear MX fenders. I am thinking of trying some of the carbon fiber vinyl on the shrouds, has anyone tried covering them in vinyl with any success? Or I may just go with the mostly black FX graphics for the KDX! Any suggestions?

I have searched for graphics for a while and finally found a site that has
some unique stuff.
Not cheap but look good and you can design you own if you want

of course I rat holed the original

Very easy to do on a chrysler....Just add gas

I think he meant he put it away in a safe place.

What else would you do with a #-matching part on a '72 'Cuda? Put it in your next garage sale with all your GM junk?

Hows about a 1967 Camaro RS/SS? 427CI BB? GM junk? I don't think so

BB...

Those are things that rattle 'round in a can..right?

GMs are for the common man....'cuz they're so common. Yanno...GENERAL Motors?

The first stock car to run 200mph?

A '67 Camaro? What year of professional high school are you IN anyway?

BB = Big Block

The car's not mine, it's my fathers car. I'm hoping one day he will give it to me but he laughs at the thought. Got to drive it a couple times though!

I'd take rons camaro over my parents dodge magnum anyday. that thing is sweet

talk about digression . . .

We went form sputtering in first and second to talking about how lame mopars are. Only on kdxrider.net!

Could I suggest some mopars sputter in first and get back to the sputtering subject ?

Sputtering is resolved. Ended up with a 38 pilot, 140 main and needle in the middle. I had to back my air screw out to far to suit me (about 4 turns), but with our temps and humidity I don't want to go any leaner on the pilot. We should be starting to cool off some soon and I will revisit my jetting then. I rode is about 20 miles this weekend in some pretty tight trails with a lot of up and down hills (It's TN). I was very satisfied with the performance. What I find so cool about the KDX compared to MX bikes I have ridden is, when going up a hill and the KDX starts to sound like it is bogging down I just give it a little more throttle and it keeps going. Most of my previous MX bikes would either just bog out completely or hid the power band so hard it would launch like a rocket.

I just might take a liking to the woods stuff after all. But my shoulder is sore from a poor log crossing technique. First time went fine after I got it to clear the frame. Second time approached a little fast and did a not so graceful dismount. I think my new fork springs should help with this.

Thanks for all of the help with the jetting guys.

Ya didn't try to hit a log laying down 45 degrees did ya? That can be done, but it is a tricky manuever.

RE: 'MX bikes would either just bog out completely or hid the power band so hard it would launch like a rocket'

That's what I deal with every time out

You can use the rocket to your advantage if you're smart enough!

No, I hit it at a good 90 degree angle. It is just is was about 12" -14" diameter and a few inches off the ground. It was mainly just technique error, but I think I could have save it if my forks were setup for my weight. UPS brought my springs today so I can;t wait to try it again with my .40 springs.

We didn't cross to many logs back in my MX days, but we did occassionally have bounce over a fellow rider or bike.

I used to like the rocket effect 25 years ago when I was 21. Now a days I need things a little more predictable. I don't heal as fast as I used to!

The jet sizes sound right . . . the 4 turns out don't, though. Is your carb bowl height set right?
