If you've got the broken bits glue it together Geoff. Have done a few PE ones and they are still going strong after a few VMX meets.
Cheers,

Australian model probably has extra magent to run the battery-blinkers-horn system which USA didnt have. There is a KDX nut on the other enduro fourms called 'flyinhawaian' he might have a US model flywheel. its also a good idea to ask on enduribiketalk.com/forum as theres KDX onwers there im sure.

Arguably better bike than the 200s that followed it. I had one after my PE175Z floater, the KDX will walk all over the PE for midrange.

I've never ridden a KDX175, so I can't really comment... But that's the first time I've heard anyone say anytihng like that - its always "The 175 was OK, the 200 is heaps better".

The good thing about telling the truth is that you don't have to remember what you said.

Does anyone one have fork oil specs for this bike?
Height & viscosity

How desperate are you for a crank Yuma?
I now have a spare motor.

Does any one know how to check coils and "black boxes"?
I need to get this sucker running, getting tired of just looking at it.
And getting even more tired of pushing it back up the drive after I have run out of hill :'(
Iv'e tried differnt stator plates, plugs and plug caps.
It has a spark but I wouldn't call it a big healthy spark so I suspect the coil may be NQR.

Broadford is quickly looming up on me.
