1989 KDX200 Cherokee National Enduro Test 2

Took the '89 KDX to the Cherokee National Enduro in GA. The course was amazing, except for the long and dusty transfers.

Dude ,great ride had one and loved it.Those super fast riders that passed you are from another planet!!

[@WildAzzRacing]

Love seeing KDX's out there still ripping it up!

[@MitzvosGolem1]

I had a 1994 KDX with 240 kit. Best fastest Enduro bike I ever had . Light weight pulled hard handled perfectly Got my trophies Enduro B class on this New England right woods. I want another one.

[@thomastjg53]

Sweet. I have 92 KDX 200. Love that bike.

[@garyeast7259]

2 strokes sound so much better. Yours has a kinda deep tone to it but its singing, love it.

[@madjack_757]

Kickass bike dude!

[@themarcopolo.]

Good riding brother! When are we riding again?

[@thomasbenjoe]

Let me know where yall are going next! I need to put a new clutch in the DR650 from last time lol

[@themarcopolo.]

This looks a lot like little brown jog

[@kgb4005]

Does your kdx have any work done to it motor wise?

[@thomasbenjoe]

I put a boyesen rad valve and did some jetting but otherwise it's completely stock

[@mikealba1814]

How much do you weigh? Any suspension mods . I got a 91

[@thomasbenjoe]

I'm a pretty light 165-170 full gear and water. I had factory connection rebuild the shock that I got off of a '91 and I rebuilt the forks. But stock valving and spring rates front and rear. I would like to stiffen it up a little for faster harescrambles and the harder hits

Don't understand the fascination with low hp no bottom end 1980's suspension off-road bikes.

[@cr250r9]

Kdx’s have plenty of bottom end to get around the woods quick but are tame enough that it isn’t too much power to deal while doing technical riding. Plus you can open it up in some sections and it most likely won’t put you on your ass. Not only this, but they have withstood the test of time. Bike is 34 years old and still hauling. I have one of these and a 2001 CR250 and both are a ton of fun.

[@lw3918]

@cr250r9 Are KDX's still produced? No because there far better equipment out there. And I don't ride in the slow ass woods. I ride in the high speed desert.

[@cr250r9]

@@lw3918 There’s a lot of great things that are no longer in production, yet part of what makes them great is that they still still are around. I can see how desert riding might be fun for guys who just want to go fast in a straight line because of their slow reaction speeds or lack of coordination (hence the reason a lot of old guys love desert riding) but I prefer a bit more of a challenge which the woods offers. To each their own!

[@lw3918]

@cr250r9 Riding/racing desert isn't just straight line. Enjoy your slow outdated bike man. Remember there's a reason why it's not produced anymore.

[@94KDX]

​@@lw3918 your opinion means very little in this comment section

[@smr4712]

Lovely vid, will a KDX200 pull me around good if I weigh 102 kgs?

[@thomasbenjoe]

Power wise you'd be happy with it, but you'd probably want to get a stiffer spring rate for the forks and the shock. Can't go wrong with the KDX tho!
