Hi all
Chasing a good 86 to88 kdx disc front end if anyone has one for sale located in in south Australia. Cheers
-
would the 86 to 88 model kdx200 have a disc front brake?
-
They sure did
-
ok that's great!PM sent
-
Did the brake on these ever really work?
I'm about to outlay for a new disk & pads (Already have put a new Master cyc on it) and The forks are only just passible.
Maybe a CR-XR front forks and brake might be the go?
-
my 88 xr600 had really powerfull front brake compered to the tt250 of the same year a riding buddy had even though both bikes had the same twin piston caliper setup.id say if you looked up the specs on both bikes the xr would have a smaller bore master cylinder compered to the tt.
-
I don't remember the brake being that bad, back in 86 it seemed pretty good to me. Rose coloured glasses maybe?
Are you comparing it to a modern disc?
I did get the suspension fiddled with on mine back in 86, had stronger springs fitted both ends and the shock revalved, can't remember what was done to the forks

I have a 87 Honda CR cartridge front end if you are interested?
-
I have a pair of KDX forks & front wheel if you still are seeking. I am in USA though.
