KDXRIDER.NET

Hello! I'm the proud new owner of a 2001 KDX 220. All of the awesome content and stories on this site inspired me to buy this bike.

First big ride was out at Crandall/Deer Creek OHV area and I had an excellent time. Battled with the carb for a bit but it ran great all day and rode nearly 35 miles of trails!

Next step is working on suspension to get it dialed for a 225 pound rider!

Welcome to kdxrider.net.

Check the jetting, as it has a lot of oil running out the back.

+1 on jetting, looks like you have an aftermarket pipe, likely the PO never rejetted for it. Welcome!

I appreciate the comments about jetting. I definitely noticed that my pipe was much oilier compared to the other 2 strokes in my group. This is my first 2 stroke bike. Cheers!

Welcome!

Yeah, if the KDX is jetted properly, and in good condition overall, you should have almost zero oil out of the silencer other than a fine misting.

That is a wonderful view your KDX got you to!

Welcome to the team! You are really going to enjoy the KDX on the trails that Northern CA has to offer. Perfect bike for that terrain.

I have really enjoyed my mountain bike trips out there, Fairfax, Santa Cruz, Tahoe, Auburn, Downieville… so much more I want to hit. Would love to bring my KDX too.
