I've got my 95 kdx 200 dual sport ready and do a lot of trail connecting and riding the back roads. I just ordered a new 14 tooth cs sprocket. I'm running stock 13/47 right now. I don't like how it rides above 50 right now for a longer run on the street. the vibration gets to you after a while. I hope the 14 tooth helps give me a little more speed/less rpm. I don't want to give up a lot of low end though. I almost bought a 15 tooth but I wanted to try the 14 1st. I also bought a new 110 link x-ring chain so we'll see how that install goes soon. I want to tighten the rebound on my front forks as well. Is that simple. I have my manual but I haven't gotten into tuning the shocks they worked good when I was strickly dirt. Maybe a little plush. Right now tho, under braking and such they need tightened up. Any help or suggestions are appreciated. One more thing. The bike came with that pro circuit pipe. I want a new silencer. Should I stick with pro circuit and what about it being a spark arrestor.

The rebound is not adjustable on the stock forks - only compression.

Except for doing something with the oil level/ oil weight. That controls the rebound.

For silencers, pick what you want - FMF or PC, but get somethging with an S/A. I ran the FMF 'Q' on my KDX and it was very very quiet. The TCII is also spark arrested.

How much is my gearing going to change going from a 13t to a 14t cs sprocket. and am I wise by not getting a 15 tooth.

Not sure if the 200 will pull 15/47. You'd get a higher cruising speed, but top speed may remain the same as the bike may not have the balls to ring out sixth gear with a ratio like that. Plus, that's a lot of clutching once you get on the trails.

Give the 14 a try and report back

Are you RB'd? Might be sumthin to do to help...

No the only mods that I know of are the pipe and air box lid removed.

On the street with 14-47 I could cruise 55-60 I even liked it in the woods but mine is a 220 very different my brother had a 04 200 I don't think it would have been as happy. You have to remove bead locks to get out most of your vibration at 55mph with stock forks and 1 bead lock in front my bike would bounce hard enough to see daylight under the front wheel The way I got mine to stop vibrating on the road was in the bed of a f-250 very nice this way. My nuts go numb at the thought of 4-5 miles of pavement

No its not bumpy due to the bead locks. Its hardly bumpy. Just vibration. Now that I can dual sport it I'll only trailer it for long rides. I hated loading it up all the time to go to the trails. I can't see that adding 1 tooth to the cs sprocket change the gearing that much. It has way too much torque as it is. 1st is almost pointless. Hopefully this helps.

Have you tested the 14T yet?

Haven't got it yet. Waiting on a shipment from RM. I have an x-ring chain and some new filters on the way also.

I got my 14t cs sprocket yesterday along with a new x-ring chain and filter. It definitely makes going 50-60 on the road more pleasant. My old chain was very worn and stretched. Like almost 2 inches!
