Finally talked my dad into it as his bike.. Since i got the new KTM250 i gave him the KDX.. we picked up this beauty today for $125.. the kid told use it was a 02 but it turns out it was a 99.. I dont think he knew.. Cons: It has been under water and it is missing back shock and radiators.. heres the tear down.


Frame got lots of rust, but no holes. nothing a good acid bath cant fix.




You can barley see it, but one of the holes for is not round. its kinda worn out.. i will have to fix.. This is linkage holes.

does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix that hole that is not round? and paint or powdercoat frame?

Weld it and drill it?

Weld a washer on the outside,also I would powdercoat that frame.

I was thinking the same thing. I dont think the extra space would cause any problems. Thanks guys..

I think I would look for a more complete 125
Use this one for additional parts as required in your build.

You could end up paying as much for a shock as a whole 125 with a blown motor.

Heck, put this front end on the current KDX for now.

well we already got the shock off ebay.. $90. not cheap, but it is in great shape. yeah we did spend more than we wanted on a junk bike, but we can make do. It will be a completely new bike we where finished. I will keep the updates coming.. Im gonna blast the frame next week then we're gonna get it dipped in somekinda acid bath to completely remove rust and coat it.

Sounds good.

Come over to Lower Alabama some time, just over the MS/AL line, nice set of trails
