A little about me and my KDX...

Living and riding in Oregon. Love the tight woods riding we have here. Started riding again after a 10 year hiatus; kids. But now my son 7, daughter 9 and wife are all riding. The family has really taken to dirt riding this year.

After riding a DR350 for a couple of months I was left wanting. I had always thought the KDX was a bike that I would like riding. I bought a 2005 KDX200 and giving it a spin through the woods I was in love. 30 pounds lighter than the DR350, thinner seat and snappier power were all the things I was looking for in the KDX. :grin:

I'm starting a fork swap, '04 KX250f, and trying to get the jetting dialed in. The site has been extremely helpful and I look forward to contributing to the KDX rider community. Cheers! :drinkers:

Welcome!

How do you like the tubliss set up? Do you think it's worth the money? How many tires do you think you could go thru on a set? $100+ is a lot for a tube but if it last 4-5 times as long it could be worth it.

Tubliss is okay, no problems. Previous owner installed so I only have about 150 miles experience with them. Time will tell.

I ride Hood River a couple times a year.
Jones Creek, Woodland, Straddline, Rock Candy MT. On my side of the river, also have a few spots that I save for friends and family only.
