Hi, I'm looking at buying a '93 kdx200 - the owner thinks the forks are original, but they are inverted forks (a bluish color).

Did the KDX200 ever sell with inverted forks? I didn't think so? How about this link? http://justkdx.dirtrider.net/newtime.html - it states that the inverted fork was added to the E5?

Aren't all stock KDX's conventional forks, and that's why everyone does the KX conversion?

Any light on this would be great -thanks!

93 and 94 models were inverted in the sense that they are conventionals turned upside down. There is no advantage to them over the KDX conventionals of the era.

So... it's no big whoop!

Still a good bike though!!! Some people swear my the E models, and even more (including myself) think the motor is slightly better...

It IS better ...

at lest you don't have the 4" under hang on the old USDs like you do the CONNYS............and how is the E model motor better than the H model motor ???????

E model constantly shears power nylon/plastic sump'n valve gears (unless you clean them all the time which I didn't) but has better low end. I used to hill climb sections easily with my E model, but always had problems making it with the current design. That changed, of course, when I got the uber-superiorist bestest one of all, the 220.
