      @@tdog54 if its a 4 stroke the oil lubricates the whole engine in a two stroke it’s only in the transmission. With a 2, the crank and piston get lubricants from the fuel. So what I mean is when somebody says oh I always changed the oil( on a 2T) , that’s only beneficial for 4 strokes, with a two stroke it doesn’t really matter because only the tranny is lubricated by crankcase oil.

    The beloved KDX those who have had the honor to have rode one know why there loved. I owned an 89 till it died. It must have had a billion miles on it when I sold it for 500 bucks about 5 years ago. Never had a single problem until the top end went out after 20 years of riding it. Should have kept it but it was in rough shape after all those years of fun.

    The KDX line has always been awesome bikes. However I did run into a few of the kdx with shredded teeth on the internal Kickstarter gear making them skip and not catch when tryna to kick it over. It wasn’t exclusive to any year or generation of the kdx neither. Asides from the Kickstarter problem they were all amazing bikes.
