The kind of deals you hear about but never find congrats

Some info on these old KDX's: The #1 thing to check: The power valves in the top of the cylinder get carboned up and they break. They were made out of aluminum. They will bounce around in the top end and destroy the motor. You can clean them up or replace them with custom made steel ones. They are pricey though. Check the rubber adapter between the motor and the carb. They develop cracks and can suck air/dirt. Check the air filter box rubber between the carb and the air filter box. They develop cracks and can suck air/dirt. The blue anodized forks were only used in '93 and '94 and were made by KYB. They were also used by some years of KX bikes. You can take the rubber piece out of the top of the air box to get more air flow. You will have to rejet the carb though. Make sure the needle that goes into the top of the carb is not bent at all. Kawasaki discontinued most of the parts on these bikes so hoard the parts you have. You can find used parts on eBay. Most guys run 40:1 in these bikes. Thanks for the video!

Just found this channel the other day. Watched all your $25 generator videos. Can't wait for this series..! Subbed! :)

California Dual Sport veteran here. I'm assuming you're still in CA? Plating this bike will be pretty difficult. You will need to forge a sticker on the frame that says something like "This motorcycle meets all US emissions regulations for on-highway use". You can find pictures of a genuine one online. That gets you through the DMV inspection. You will also need to get a Brake and Light Inspection at a certified shop, where they check the remaining meat on your brake pads and all the turn signals, brake lights, and high and low beam headlights you have by now installed. This gets REALLY expensive so be sure you ask the DMV for all the fees upfront so you know what you're getting into. Costs: Dual sport light kit $200-500 Brake and Light inspection $80-120 (depending on the shop) DMV retitling fees, registration, plate, etc $200-300 Forging that sticker ??? Back Registration fees ????? Sometimes you get lucky and get someone who doesn't know what they're doing. I have done this with many bikes ( I flip bikes for a living), and there is always a way if you pay them a lot of money and keep bothering them relentlessly. DO NOT TELL THEM IT'S A TWO STROKE.

You and Jennifer have become my favorite motorhead vids. previously it was Mustie1. I like the interaction between you two, and the levity and sharp witt without the sexual banter...not that I'm a prude or anything. You do amaze viewers with the projects you get involved with...motorcycle transmissions... Now I'm looking for a fixerupper like this KDX200. Much lighter than my V Strom 650. Thank you for all you do~ both of you.

Great vids! I have watched just 3 so far and you are a natural on the camera. Good charisma! Love the banter with you and your wifey :)
