my boss has a '95 kdx200 in a 125 frame i was thinking of fixing up.

**CHOPPA** · 20th April 2009, 22:23

Hey guys, what would you do?? Ive just stripped the top end off the engine and the side casings. The engine looks mint! The barrel hasnt got any scores or anything and the bottom end doesnt have any slop up and down but it does have it side to side which i think is normal..?

Would you rebuild the bottom end just for the sake of it??

I havnt decided if ill actually ride it but if i do id be pretty hard on a 125 i think

As far as budget goes... An extra $400 is not gonna be the end of the world but its just a hassle. Lots of sideways...

Havnt asked any nz wholesalers but cant find a complete crank. Found hotrods big end bearings, seals and conrod kit...?

Anything else id need? What about the bearings in gearbox? Dont really wanna replace every moving part just for the sake of it but id be pissed if they failed
