91 KDX 200 Basket Case

[eprovenzano]

I ride orange, but I just picked up a 91 KDX 200E basket case for $150. Based on everything I've read / researched and looking at the pieces / parts of the bike... The only issue is the LH KIPS valve is broken. The PO pulled it apart thinking it was down on power and needed a top end. The piston and rings have 10 - 15 hours on them He didn't know about the issue with the valves and the steel replacements. The bike is a true basket case. With it in such a dismantled state, I had the opportunity to inspect the engine internals, and to know the bottom end is tight, the cylinder bore is fine, and to see LH KIPS valve is broken. I haven't done a complete inventory yet, but so far it seems as though everything is there, all the way down to the cooling system overflow bottle. All parts / bolts / nuts were meticulously bagged and tagged. This should be a fun winter project





My orange steed... 01 KTM 380

Man, great score! Since you already know about the steel KIPS valves you should be all set.
That KTM looks nice, too. I hear the 380's are pretty ferocious machines.

Honestly they are very forgiving machines. True if you try to ride it like s 125 things will happen quicker than you may want... A little respect goes a long way.
