I just bought a KDX200

[nzspokes]

Found an old KDX200 on TM going for to cheap. Looks to need a rebuild which is fine.

Where would be the best place to look for plastics? The seller says the motor was running fine but I may crack it open to check and as rebuild kits seem very cheap may go that way. It needs tyres but as my XR has good tyres and the same size I will swap them over.

Ive never ridden one but a mate told me they are a great beginner trail bike so for the price I couldn't let it go. Just hope the seller comes through.

Replacement plastics depends on the years the early models 83-86 A+B series can be hard to source esp the headlight nacelle
87-89 C model not really an issue , 90-95 same again not a prob, 96-2010 all available.
great bikes the KDX thousands sold here so second hand parts a plenty , many have been fitted in KX frames, a good pipe brings them to life.
Stay clear of the Japanese spec models with oil injection to slow and heavy .

Its a 95. Looks to be a stock pipe, what type should I look out for?

Oh, sweet. Its a 95 so will it fit? Im happy to replace the plastics to make it look right again.

That way as im not fast at least the bike looks good.

Heres a pic of it from TM. Shes a little rough but running. I have tyres for it. Should make a nice little rebuild.

Nah mate. It's from the A & B models. Quite different.

That's not a '95. It's an earlier E series so likely 89-92ish. Nothing wrong with that, but don't mistakenly buy 95+ H series parts for it ;-)

Ive just worked that out but thanks for confirming it. Wont buy anything until I get it and check the serial number.

You may want to factor in bearings for suspenders and wheels too.

Yup, had planned on bearing kits for steering, linkage etc. Happy to do that stuff and its cheap to. Probably will kit the brakes etc.

And just found a mod to do to the stock pipe for more HP. This is going to be fun.

You might give your credit card a fright!

Extract the old bearings and take them to a bearing shop like this one just down the road from you.

Looks she's had a hard life, get a Bills or Pro circuit and the muffler to check with Mr Motorcycles as they will have some , a fork kit will do wonders and a shock rebuild.
The sub frame looks twisted , and these had a very soft seat great for comfort but can be a pain if touching the seat base.
