Hello to everyone from SW Florida, picked up 1997 kdx 220r been looking for awhile finally made reality

Welcome to kdxrider. Congratulations on the KDX, especially to still have all the purple items.

Welcome and glad you were able to find that beauty. These bike are getting harder to find for sale.

Can anyone give me tips on parts and Plastics where to go I want to keep all the original plastics and buy a new Plastics & front number plate without light ? Can you still get parts for the Kips ? Thanks for any help you can give me appreciate it

That’s a nice one. Purple is rare. Rocky Mountain atv has a lot of oem parts and whatnot you’d be looking for, eBay for anything you can’t find. I think it’s tough to find some of the exhaust valve parts. You can probably fit a kx125 number plate, but why would you wanna do that?

Congrats on the bike and welcome. Where are you located? I'm in Bradenton and have been going to a place in Polk County called Bone Valley ATV park. It's a great little place and really well kept. One way trails, restrooms with showers, bike washing area, and MX track. Closed now with corona.

The late 80's numberplate is the easiest fit. Other plates can fit with some brackets or holes drilled, etc.

If you don't use the light, then no need to have it on there to get smashed, in my opinion.

Welcome to the forum! I have that exact same bike; I absolutely love it, especially the colors/graphics. I know you'll probably hang onto those shrouds, but if you want to sell them, let me know! Can't hurt to ask haha. Just as others have stated, Rocky Mt and eBay are your two best sources. Enjoy!

Welcome and congrats on the new bike. If it has not already been done, check the piston and replace if OEM.

I’m slacking. I thought I read it was a 200. Yes, please check the piston. The OEM ones have a reputation for blowing up.
