I appreciate the fact that you get straight after it and don’t put latex gloves on before you touch grease. Old school for sure, thank god for GoJo!
40x60 that's excellent.
Love the kdx200 love!!
This was the bike my dad had when I was about 10 years old I took it out had kick start it off a crate and got busted riding it and got grounded good times 😅. Ended up with the bike a couple years later because I burned up to many kx80 top ends and dad just said F it let me have it. Great bike did alot of stuff on one of these and so damn reliable.
If your bench isn't organized chaos, you don't work hard enough. Like the shop series, some of us don't even have a garage....but the kitchen works 🙃
I have a 2000 KDX200 that I bought for $1000. An absolutely incredible bike. I have a lot of similar refreshing to do on the bike. I'm looking forward to the next videos.
Don’t apologise for recommending gear you use mate- bloody hell, isn’t that part of why we watch your vids? I rate how you work, input into tips and techniques and recommendations on repairs. Go nuts 🤘 .. muppets who get upset can go jump
You have to stop apologizing or addressing the crap talkers. What you’re doing is great stuff. If they don’t like it, leave.
Thanks.
The Dodge rules!
Keep recommending tools, gear, parts, etc. etc. I've purchased many of the items (a lot!!) you've recommended and every single one of them have done great for me! Don't stop, turn it up even more. Please, that's one of the main reasons I visit your channel. I know first hand how honest you are and you say whether it's a good product or not. Love the vids!
Right on!
Love my Tusk stand! Also really liking the content you've been providing, especially lately. I have two KDXs, a 200 and 220 (selling the 220 here shortly), and also a '24 Beta 300 RE, so your vids are very informative. Looking forward to seeing your work on the KDX!
Morgan you keep doing what you're doing with the advertising and backing the people that support you. I think you do an awesome job. Definitely like the little home shop series.
Can’t see what the beef is about advertising I thing is good to see products to do with the sport👍👍
We love our KDX and this series is going to be great! Can’t wait to see it all finished. We’ve been torn on finding a decent semi original graphic kit or going with something wild. This bike is a perfect beginner bike that will last a kid forever!
Great stuff, Morgan! Trolls be damned. You do you. I'm sure most of will still be here watching. Home shop is looking good.
I have gone down that rabbit hole on my 1986 IT 200 project. Got my frame back from paint today. It was not my intention it just kinda happened.🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
😂🤣🤘🏻🤘🏻
My cousin had the previous generation KDX 200. It was air cooled if I remember right. It was a fun bike.
Must been a pre 90 or 89 they went liquid cooled around that time
@prestonking5692 I want to say 89 but am not sure. It was fun to rip around on though. He did get mad at me though when he couldn't get past my 87 TRX250R.
Got to ride one of those new in the late 90's , great woods trail bike, motor was smooth like a sewing machine and decent suspension.
Great beginner bike, tried to talk my wife into one but it was too ugly for her so we compromised and her a 150XCW instead 😄
KDX ... great bikes
You should build this KDX UP and race it would love that KDX have a big following
I’m going to race it this year
MX bike? LOL! Drugs are bad, m'kay? That dude needs to put the pipe down!🤣Yep, the KDX is the legend when it comes to beginner bikes yet can still be raced competitively with a few updates. I've taught quite a few people how to ride on mine.
I also have a '98 KDX but the 220 version. I was a die hard KDX200 guy until I got this 220 for dirt cheap ($800) when I just needed a bike quickly after my '05 GG EC250 was stolen. The 220 is a low to mid range engine in stock form. However, after adding a bigger carb, an RB modified PWK35, RB modified head, Boyesen RAD valve, and an FMF Desert pipe, it has almost the same top end as the 200's but with so much more bottom end and it will lug like crazy.
Anyway, hope you spiffy it up nicely and hope to see some good vids with it!
Kx250f kickstarter is a good upgrade, especially when the kicker boss gets worn out.
I have heard that
Loving your content. Relax and slow down. Add more closeups with lighting. You need a shop dog. All big youtubers have dogs!
Hahahaha. I have 2 but they are morons 😂. I’ll get better close ups
👍👍
When you finish the kawi you can do a shoot out with the Beta.
Yes
I appreciate the adds. Supply chain is really important and I need to know what gear is good and where to get it.
I'm thinking it might be a good idea to check wheel bearings while your at it. Those spokes may need looked at, plus you got the cool tool for that
Hahaha. Totally. I actually already have wheel bearings in house and I’m definitely going to check spokes. Thanks.
Wish we had those stands 25 years ago....
Totally
🔥you, the shop and the Chanel rock 🔥👊🔥🏍🔨⚠️⚙️shorts on, still -20 here in northern Ontario. Lucky u
YEah, but deep down a bike like that deserves it]
A neutered Mx bike is not for me. I like wild not mild. But I can see the allure. Thanks for everything t. You da man
And on the China 🇨🇳 topic tusk has been pretty good with what I've used on my current bike 03 kx250 and have been satisfied got linkage bearings clutch hand guards their flywheel puller and slide Hammer and their complete rear wheel assembly among few other things. Since almost everything is made in China now wouldn't you give Gary Goodwin at GPX any credit and maybe shout out to megan Griffith racing she has the GPX TSE300r and quite honestly see your going for budget oriented things on the channel alot people including myself can have fun and spend half the cash give or take rebuilding a bike with tusk parts or the like or non mechanics can buy a gpx and still have fun with the sport. Just my 2 cents and like you say can like it take it with grain salt whatever don't like it suck it but think should feature some gpx content in the future and budget overhauls like this and in the future I plan get the tse300r after few years of them revising it a bit more.
Thanks for this series Morgan.. love my KDX!
I'm riding on a shoestring budget so a new Austrian/Italian/whatever bike w/e-start, fuel injection and all the bells & wistles is out of reach for me, but my '03 KDX220 suits me on the tight, technical mountain singletrack I ride in the Mt Hood area.. slowly building it up as I go.. looking forward to the top-end video as I need to do mine soon.
QUESTION: What forks are on yor KDX? Curious cuz I'm doing a front end swap on mine right now.
They are KLX forks
Safety glasses when using the grinder
I know 🤪
How about a guard? Just don't f up!
Hi mate does the kdx original front rim bolt straight to the klx300 forks? Or is it the klx300 rim on the forks?
I need to check but I’m pretty sure the stock KDX rim works.
chineses, chineses, chineses, as we slowly help US industry leave.
Most of my bearings, brakes… are made in USA for my KDX’s
Most. But not all. I but t shirts that are over $50 because they are made 100% in USA. From growing the cotton, milling it, sewing it and packaging it but not all of my clothes are that way. I mean whatever you typed that on and whatever you watched this on was made in china. We all choose our battles
Are you going to change the graphics or clean them up or are you sticking with the originals?
New graphics coming
Sweet can’t wait!
DEFINITELY NOT A MOTOCROSS BIKE!!
