i would not replace them as matter of course, but clean inspect and see what they are like if you are going to pull it down,

you will need to have a manual as there is a certain way they can do,

have not looked them up in a while to see if everything is still available, but its close to 20 years since this model has been made so parts will be starting to come up NLA,

Mint! I will check them out when the bike turns up. Think I may chuck a top end at it from the start. Along with head, linkage and wheel bearings, fork and shock rebuild etc

As it looks to need a rear guard I may try to get a more motocross looking one for it.

the KX500 guard fits onto these models with very small mods,

Would a barrel of a H motor fit a E motor?

if it has the whole power valve assembly you might be abe to enginner it to fit, but it would not just simply bolt on, i am not sure if even the cylinder studs would line up,

so basically no,

kdxrider.net is a wealth of information.

Well at the moment it looks like the seller doesn't want to give me the bike. So unless I hear from him in the next day or so I will walk away from it.

I may look at a newer KDX or KLX.

For trail riding which would be better?
