G'day !! Newbie with a 1989 Kdx200 F1
Posted: 11:12 pm Feb 13 2016
G'day fellas, as the title mentions I'm newbie to dirt bikes....I've got road bikes but this is the first enduro i've owned. My names is James but my mates call me Scoot.
I decided to get my self a new toy to tinker with and I've had the it to try Enduro riding for a while now.
My Kdx is a real pos!lol I've recently bought it from a mate for very little money...and he was about the fifth owner. It's been used,abused and maintained by some real butchers!! I plan on just tidying it up and getting back to a road worthy condition.
It came with a new piston,rings and gaskets. I've since ordered in a new left and right powervalve.
The original left hand powervalve gear is striped and the right hand powervalve shaft had snapped off.....which is still stuck in the cylinder. Somewhere along the way the original rear wheel was replaced with a Cr250 wheel...which needs the correct sized spacer made up.
I would like to try and track down a workshop manual and a new blank ignition key. Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction as the OEM key has been discontinued.
Anyway that's enough out of me....I'm gonna head out to the shed to get a bit more work done!
Cheers
Scoot
