Hi guys

Tilts here, located in South Wales in the UK.

After spending the last few years riding the orange KTM's ive decided to go back riding a KDX 220..this will be my 3rd KDX and to be honest, probably the most fun dirt bike ive ridden over the years..

Picked up a 99 KDX 220 for £400..road legal but in some need of some TLC.. engine sounds OK, but will have the head off to check barrel and piston.

I do plan to strip her right back and rebuild with some tasty mods, but being a fat boy...i think my initial time and effort and spare pennies will be directed at the suspension, been reading some of the posts on the KX front end swap, so i think thats my plan of attack.

Anyhow, great source of info, and ill try and post some pics and vids of my new little project as i go...any help on the front end conversion will be handy!!

Cheers

Hey Dude. Welcome back to KDX. I'm also UK based (Surrey). Bought my '02 220 in Montgomery, Wales about a month ago.

Currently waiting for my Wossner piston to arrive. Engine in bits at the moment...
