Just bought a used kdx 200 1996 has a loud click at idle goes away when I rev it up or ride above about 2000 rpms. any ideas what it might be? seems to have plenty of power runs fine.

KDXs tend to have a rattly, deisel-like sound at idle and very low rpms. Unless the sound is very loud, it is probably just the normal Kawie rattle.

Thanks spanky I had heard that from a friend too, Does it have to do with that kipps devise and is there some kind of adjustment?

It's just the way it is... So I'm told... Mine is kinda noisy. Some folks use a full quart or fill the tranny to the top of the site glass to try and quite it a bit.
I'm not sure it it's the KIPS linkage or what. No one seems to know for sure. I'd pay $100 for some aftermarket what ever to fix it
