Back to the forum after 13 years!
Posted: 03:30 am May 11 2025
Hi guys,
I posted a few days ago but my post disappeared - I understand it was a tech issue and not something I did wrong hopefully?
Anyways I also had to create a new profile. My name is Felipe, I am originally from Chile but now living in the UK. My first dirt bike was a KDX 200 SR that I got back in 2010 when I was 15 yo. I sold it after a few years as I was doing mostly motocross so I got a YZ250. Now the 13-year-wise me just picked up a 1989 KDX 200 SR that I am planning to restore and keep for as long as possible! This forum helped me a lot back then so I am very glad to see it is still active.
The new bike is pretty much complete, but it seems like it spent some time in a barn or something as some parts are quite rusty. Engine is running fine so my idea is to do a soft restoration this summer to get it road legal and then a more fulsome restoration next winter. I'll keep you posted!
Best,
Felipe
