Coop,

Have you checked out Jeff Fredette's web site for modifications you may want to do in the future to the KDX?

Jeff Fredette is the authority on KDX's.

Just a thought.

General Two Stroke Talk / New member intro.

Hey guys,

Just wanted to introduce myself.  I've been a lurker on here for a while.

I'm 40 yo and have been riding bikes on and off since I was 10.  My current ride is a 2006 YZ125 that I can honestly say is the most fun bike I've owned.  I also have a 11 yo son that rides as well. (2003 CR85R)  We live in North Alabama and mostly ride trails with a little mx (practice only).  I have raced one buddy harescramble that was a blast and intend to do more in the future. 

Like many, I fell for the 4-stroke hipe and purchased a 2004 CRF250R that was easy to ride with decent power but just didn't have what I was looking for.  I found myself getting lazy riding it and the fun factor just wasn't there.  The maintenace cost along with the worry of the thing exploding(not that 2 st don't but , the rebuild cost is considerable less) really got me back to the 2 stroke.  After owning several 2 strokes over the years(1989 YZ125, 1985 CR500, 1991 RMX250, 2001 KX250) and a 1988 XR600 (tractor) and the CRF of course, I decided to get back to the 2 stroke, which I will probably always ride from now on.

BTW, great site. 

P.S. Are there any members on here from the South?
