Gump Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 (edited) Runs great,always starts and really moves. Lots of mods i think but i don't know what they are. I put on a 11t front sprocket, replaced the 12t to try and gear it down for the trail. $1200 firm. Which it's not really for the trail it lives in the acceleration zone, balls out all the time. I just had the front fork seals all replaced last month it was leaking a bit. No real reason to sell that's why the price is firm.

wolfman Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 Don't you usually want to go down on the front sprocket and up on the rear when gearing a 2-stroke for trails? At least in my experience I have found that MX bikes have too tall of a first gear for the slow technical stuff. IMO, that KX could make a sweet trail machine with a heavier flywheel and the right gearing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still the clutch grips crazy hard, NO slip at all, on or off, makes it tough for the trail. When it hits the power band it's gondy. Traction or no traction. It'll burn or pull wheelies on pavement. Hard to keep it stuck.What do you mean heavier flywheel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought you typed you went from a 11t to 12t. NVM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

max power Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 It would be a hellacious hill climber.........if a girl was riding it. I can attest that it is a nice, clean, trick KX. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
