Nice bike, but it sounds like it's got one of those made in China fake $40 Keihin carbs from ebay stuck on it. I bought one for my KDX and it ran like dog shit, spitting and sputtering like crazy. I was gonna try jetting it, but it wouldn't even work with normal Keihin jets! I ended up throwing that hunk of crap in the trash. Went back to the old stock carb and replaced the jet block o-ring on it and it ran way better.
What did you do at 5:30? There is no point fiddling with the carburetor unless you have cleaned everything, with clean plug and new fuel. Do enjoy the bike.
@@Jspackman I’d say depending on cosmetic condition and hours $1000-$2000 is a pretty good deal if you can hit the trail that day. Check fork seals, wheel bearings, brakes, carb, gears,hours etc. bring a compression tester or bore scope if you got one. If they say it has a new top end ask for receipts. I’m referring to the last gen kdx, I think 96-06? Seems the older gen kdx go for a little less but they are usually in rougher condition and I dont know much about aftermarket support and availability of parts for the older model years. Hope that helps. They are really fun bikes
dream bike. I've got a street legal kx 125 with all the trail upgrades you could want including ohlins suspension front and rear, but this is the bike i want. Once a really clean last model year pops up im snagging it for sure
I’ve also got an 04’ kx125 , It’s a fun bike. It’s set up more for MX, stiff suspension and it’s only happy wide open. So far I really like the kdx. Soft suspension and torque. The powerband feels broad and more linear than my one two five.
@quitr13 I've got it ported polished a more low end focused head and a 9 Oz flywheel weight along with a 12 tooth front sprocket, it lugs pretty good for a 125
I miss mine so much... Had a 97 as well. I love that bike!
I’m glad I scored one when I did. People are asking around $3k for them in my area

Such a cool bike, if it has the oem piston you should change it out, there know to grenade without warning
Thanks for the heads up

Adjusting the idle
How much you spend?
Let’s just say it was a good deal 🤫 the KDX are starting to get pricey so jump on a good deal if you find one
What qualifies as a good deal? Looking to get one soon. Like this weekend status.
@@Jspackman I bought one not too long ago

out of curiosity, how has the 2t faired on street. id be concerned about the sustained RPMS
@trentszachnitowski4628 i have a separate gear that i put on for the street and im always stitching gears and giving it some revs to prevent buildup
ahh fair enough. out of curiosity, how many miles on road do you think it has? also thanks for the quick reply on an old comment @@ydkma
