    I had a 90 for 5 years. Great bike for taller guys. Excellent suspension and low end for bikes of that time. This makes me wish I had it back !

    edit: oh god that carb....that really did sit for a long time.
    Would love to see a KDX 200 sometime, they rock! Especially the E-series

    • @madmarc
      @madmarc  4 місяці тому +1

      Honestly it's not bad at all. Just needs some engine case and frame repairs. I'll be able to reuse most of it... even the chain and sprockets are good haha

    • @jimhimesjr
      @jimhimesjr 3 місяці тому

      I rebuilt an e series KDX that was in pretty bad shape. Rust holes in frame/electrical taped grips/non existent bearings/mouse nest in airbox down into the carb. I thought that carb was rough but the one in this video is crazy. Looked like pure oil in the float bowl.
      The KDX came out pretty good but nothing like if mad Marc did one

      I used Simple Green Aircraft Cleaner, diluted 3-1. I hear Simple Green D Pro works well too, and is a better value cause it can be diluted way more.

    Enjoyed the color video much more than the black and white but I can see what you were trying to do now that you explained the first video……….hopefully you will be going back to the original style decals with this one……..the 1990 Kawasaki graphics were always one of my favorite years………I also thought 1992 graphics were cool too where the tank shroud graphics continued into the seat……..I’m also partial to the late 80’s (‘87, ‘88, and ‘89) graphics as well, they were just clean and simple
