KDX 175 ebay project

Even though I have far too many projects already, if I was closer to Tumut, NSW, I would find it hard to not bid on this KDX 175 basket case. Looks like most of the bits are there and this would make a really nice vinduro bike. I have the bottom end of a motor ( minus flywheel and stator) for one of these , if anyone is interested.

Good pick up. Worth more than $100 in part value any day. Surprising no one else bid ??? Enjoy.
Let's face it some dirt bikes were never meant to be ridden.

give that engine a full blue printing, get a descent pipe made and you will be blown by how hard the little green grasshopper will go. The were a 125 on steroids when they were blue printed, so many punters stuck a an alloy muffler on and said how hard they go??? Yeah right.

KX timing, matched ports and a rejet gave them a great surge thru the bottom to mid range with a 125 top end...

Woo hoo
