God there are so many dinguses posting videos of kdx200s that run like absolute crap. Thank you for actually having a well tuned bike that sounds like mine. And you actually have a lot of bike skill.
I waited a long time for one to show up on Craigslist at the right price, then zoomed an hour south to scoop up a somewhat modded KDX220R at the right price. Now it's highly modded .. FMF everything, high compression RB head, hotter spark coil, hydro clutch w/spring assist and longer swingarm, Lectron carb. Edit: I've had to fix the lawn a few times after being a little too throttle-happy putting it back in the barn.
I was the same way with Yamaha IT’s, rode them for years and they were hard to fault. What I’d love to find is a WR200 Yamaha, have you seen those ? Pretty rare and a kick ass little bike too. I wish Kawasaki would come out with a KDX 300R can you imagine that green monster? Wow
No you won't. The numbers are adding up against you. They've ALL passed by enough people that they're in the hands of people who know what they are. People realize these things are extreme motocross racing bikes . They're NOT trail bikes. The general public is crazy and motorcycle manufacturers are right. They're right to stop handing you idiots, motocross racing bikes fine tuned for endurance motocross racing.
I know it the air cooled ones looked the best in my opinion and where as powerful as a 4 stroke 350 ridicules low end I’ve tracterd it around at like 400 rpm
Great audio, man! Sounds like I'm riding my KDX 200. I like the way it sounds so much I go looking for great POV videos like this of KDX riding. Nicely done.
It was a terrible misuse of an endurance motocross racing bike. Read the name idiots. KX with a distance aspect put in the name. So its kawasaki's long distance motocross racing bike. KDX. Can you READ? Do you require reading glasses? Do you understand branding?
Caleb Johnson i have an fmf fat boy with an fmf silencer not sure what kind it is. but the stock silencer on these bikes are very quiet.they dont run as well with the stock ones though.
@@calebjohnson1471 Don't take advice from this uneducated person. What a load of rubbish that statement was about the stock KDX. The KDX is designed for endurance motocross racing NOT trail riding. The stock pipe was professionally tuned for long motocross races. After a while the standard KX exhaust pipe gives you a headache, so the professionals tuned out lots of noise for the endurance motocross racing bike.
That thing sounds sweet!!! I miss riding so much! I’ve gotta get another bike soon. Definitely looking at a KX 500 or CR 500 They r beasts!!! Sweet KDX tho
@@motomark2125 You're lack of knowledge is exposed. You adapt to what you're riding. You have powerful features so you don't have any excuses not to go into 1st gear if required. If the place you're riding requires you to go into 1st gear then you go into 1st gear. You don't allow the engine revs to drop down too much and you don't allow the engine revs to go too high either. They give you lots of gears so you keep the engine revs in the one location.
Silly. You don't do endurance motocross racing. Why would you go for a stiff bike with lazy gearing and steering? And why would you swap brands cause you'll have to relearn everything from the start. Changing from Low torque revs to sleak mid torque is difficult. Kawasaki's are like 3 motors in 1. You have no idea what you're doing by changing brands and types of bikes.
They lied to you by saying it's suitable for woods riding. It's not a woods style bike. It's a motocross racing bike tuned to do 8 hours of racing. Stop misusing these bikes! You'll hurt yourself and ruin these bikes.
Finally! I had to scroll through dozens of KDX thrashing videos before I finally found one with my kind of riding

Brst sounding E model on CZcams, good riding
I miss my KDX 220. Both the 200 and the 220 phenomenal bikes. Wish they were still made. I will find another one!
i love mine! its changed a bit since this video, it runs much better. really good bike and will do almost anything!

Bike sounds lovely.
I had a 1986 KDX 200 and it was definitely the fastest Enduro in the 175---250 class. This bike was FAST

Thank you! i haven't had much time to post in the past few months, but next year im going to try to post a lot more
I'll have some coming for ya. Getting my 220 tomorrow. In town riding on the DT250 czcams.com/video/vz7naEpg1Mc/video.html

The bike looks great
Patrick Blosnick thanks!
what main and pilot do you have?
I have the same bike, and I love it
thats awesome!! you should make some videos!
What oil are you using?
Sounds Krispy and I know the fun of a kdx I’ve got a 87 air cooled thing rips
Fun fun fun
Are you running the stock pipe? I’m thinking of getting one but I’m not in the most rural area

So did u ever get a 500 😂
Какие жиклеры установлены?
What gear do you mostly use for the slow crawling stuff? 1st or 2nd?
2nd. 1st is pretty short so its kind of just a take off gear

Did a hybrid, working on jetting. These E series engines are great.
Great video man, nice log hop at 2.16
Enduro Travel R Thank you!
Motomark 212 no problem, looking forward to your next video mate 🤙🏼
@@EnduroTravelR soon!! there will be one this week most likely. i havnt been able to make a lot of content as i just have not had time.
You can feel the power
Power that's not suitable for trail riding.
@@dreyn7780 sounds like you got scared by a little kdx sometime...it's OK man,it's OK...
I want to swap a 220 into a 2005 kx125 frame
Is this a 2000 kdx 200?
no, its an 89.
KrIsPY
Not much of a 2 stroke guy but thats a nice bike!
Brody Crabtree thank you!
How do u not like 2 stroke 🤷🏻♂️
They made the kdx 200 without a headlight?
U still have the bike
no
I bought an 05 yz250f and I think I'm going to sell it and buy a kdx.
Silly.
