Hello All,

I have an opportunity to purchase a 2001 KDX200 for $800. I visited the owner yesterday to see the bike, and it started on the first kick while cold.

The immediate rattle noise that I heard alarmed me a bit, but after reading the info on this site I know exactly what that is...thanks!

My question is this...

The owner was kind enough to reveal that the bike has a tendency to bog after it has been ridden for 20-30 minutes. He believes that this would be remedied by simply cleaning the carb. Would anyone here disagree or have any info as to what this issue might consist of?

Also, would you all consider $800 for a fairly clean 2001 KDX200 to be a fair deal or no?

All input and information is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!!

I say don't buy it and give me his name and address. Lol. Yea I started not to buy mine because idk about the KDX rattle.

Luckily he had 2 of them. Both sounded the same.

The price is good. Unheard of where I live, actually. I would say that the bog is probably more of a jetting issue. Cleaning the carb won't hurt, but jetting it will help the most. Stock jetting in these things is way too rich for most riding conditions. Welcome to KDXRIDER!

Same here on price they bring around 1800 in my area and hardly ever pop up

Thanks for the replys, I really appreciate it! Gonna go take another look tomorrow and likely pick it up.

Thanks again!
