[QUOTE="KDXFreestyle, post: 735207, member: 36862"] This is my review of my KDX. The first thing you should Know, is that mine is a 2003 KDX200. This bike is awesome and is a great woods bike. I also race mine at the local track in the 250C class, and I do pretty good. The KDX is definately made for trails, but can be used in either place. When riding a KDX, it feels like your inside the bike, rather than on top of it, as with a MX'er 250/125. I believe this is a reputation that Kawi has with their bikes. The stock handlebars are really low, and bend fairly easily. Even with them really far forward, and the mounts reversed. The KDX seems to feel wide, and not as nimble as a MX bike. It has a wide seat. Compared to a MX bike, they are REALLY nimble in the woods, but have a lot of power, are really loud, and a harsh suspension. The stock suspeneion on the KDX's are ultra soft in the front, and perfect for a 180 lb rider in the rear. (The front is for roughly a 130 lb rider.) The KDX's Seat is also wicked soft. The first mod that is MANDITORY is that you ditch the airbox lid. The KDX's come jetted rich from the factory. The mods that I would reccomend for this bike are Reeds, PC/FMF pipe of your chice (PC/FMF Gnarly Desert for 250 like power, or a PC Platinum2/FNF Gnarly Woods pipe for tractor-like pulling power like a thumper.) PC/FMF Silencer of your choice, Stiffer seat foam, and CR High Bend Handlebars. Also, if sound is not an issue to you, you can cut down the canister, and the inside piece to right before the second mount for a better sound. (just like a 250.) An aftermarket pipe will also make your bike a tiny bit louder. [U][B]Total Mods[/B][/U]: (for the mods I have/ the ones that are listed) Boyesen Pro Seires Reeds $40 FMF Power Core 2 Silencer $100 Pro Circuit Platunim Pipe $180 Tag 1 1/8" Bar Mounts $50 Renthal Fatbars in Copper (CR High Bend) $75 Ditching, or drilling holes in the Air Box lid $Free Race Tech rear shock spring (5.2) $90 FRP Front fork Springs (4.2) $60 [U][B]Other Mods that are worth the money:[/B][/U] 03/04 KX 125/250 Front Fender $20 Maier MX Rear Fender $50 95/96 Suzuki 125/250 front number plate $28 Grips of your choice $15 MSR/Moose lever set (with the rubber grips) $20 [U][B]Whats Hot[/B][/U] Awesome pulling power for the woods. Great bike to learn how to ride on. Big 2.9 gallon gas tank Wide Footpegs Excellent brakes Bike Starts very easily [U][B]What's Not[/B][/U] Ultra cushony seat Very soft suspension in the front Bike is jetted extra rich Bike feels plugged up with the stock silencer Feels like your inside the bikes vs. on top Ultra low handlebars Bike feels kind of wide Overall... The kdx is a GREAT bike, despite the bad things I dont like about it. Let me know what u think of this review. if anyone has any other opinions or reviews, please post them. :thumb: Jonathan :aj: [/QUOTE]
