KDX200 0-60 and top speed

[@nathanielstephenbaue]

Owned a 2001 KDX 200 for years. It was an absolute battle axe and I should have never ever sold it. It took every ounce of abuse possible and was crashed nearly every day I rode it. Totally unbreakable!

[@ZSharkPH]

Sounds crisp and healthy.. I love my KDX.

[@louisblevins6158]

love the wrist braking act

Im sure the engine is loving it ❌️

Nice rip!!!!

[@snakepliskin1185]

Good job on the reed mod - you did something different and it worked. Pulls a like a champ! Do you have dual sport tires on it?

[@TurbodanNM]

K270s front and back. It was a strong runner for sure.

[@DetroitFettyghost]

I love how all these new school kids complain about mythical engine braking because in reality they are mad they are stuck with these bunk new four stroke "earth friendly" bikes, even tho they aren't even an better for the earth. 2 stroke smoke till I die (or I'm riding my street bike).

[@shadowjack48209]

Good shit Og

[@fu2267]

How’s this thing to run out on longer trips? Love the idea of plating and dual sporting a 2 stroke don’t care about the top end rebuilds. Though

[@TurbodanNM]

It's runs until it gets low on gas, then you fill it up and it runs some more. I had no issues with general on road usage.

[@kenjuicekrajewski9577]

We played kdxs all the time in the 90s. Went thousands of miles. Without rebuilds. But going from street to powerlines or fields. Is a blast. As long as we put dirt or mud on the plates. 2 strokes are a blast for this.

[@lizerd0]

very nice

[@omerojuniorv]

Well for those that say engine braking is bad check this out, in texas if a motorcycle cop sees you coasting with the clutch pressed you will get a warning or ticket because coasting without either braking or accelerationg or atleast engine breaking is illegal and dangerous atleast in cali and tx that i know you always have to be in control specially since you can be in the wrong gear and if you have to move out of the way you are to late

Running the stock 35mm carb. I planned on trying the 38mm PWK but the stocker was getting the job done.

[@omerojuniorv]

Why do people say engine braking is bad i don't see any bad in it, if its running its getting gas and oil even if its engine braking, its like saying four stroke engine braking is bad because it gets no gas jaha if it got no gas or not enough it would turn off

[@Oilslikgarage]

Omero juniorv engine braking isn’t bad at all. When you let off the throttle, the vacuum created by the engine sucks in air but no fuel since the throttle is closed. This slows the piston as nothing is is being ignited to force it back down. There’s no harm in it

[@thooke222]

Kawasaki wouldn't be in business anymore if they made a dirt bike in which engine braking destroyed the engine

[@OGKILLa9365]

That engine braking makes me cringe

Stupid comments about two strokes engine braking make me cringe.

[@GB-jk4vt]

TurbodanNM is it premix?

[@luuk341]

Graham Bullock doesnt matter of its premix,engine braking on any two stroke besides the new injected KTM's is a terrible plan

[@TurbodanNM]

@@luuk341 I've been riding for 22 years and I've never had an engine seize with the throttle closed. Engine braking is a non issue and anyone that says otherwise doesn't know what they're talking about.

@@TurbodanNM Its your bike man, you ride it like you want too.

[@rowdywilliams9018]

what was the top speed

[@TurbodanNM]

+Rowdy Williams About 90MPH. The speedo reads up to 80 but the needle was pointing to where 90 would be. With even taller gearing it could go faster.

[@SirrBassius]

Are you sure? My 01 kdx200 with as far as I know just a pipe and 14/47s will do 93 on GPS running slightly downhill and me laying on it. Mine almost acts like it wants slightly lower gears. Couldn't imagine running something that tall

[@SirrBassius]

That bitch is damn quick though. I doubt mine accelerates that fast. Maybe it's just cause I'm used to it

[@TurbodanNM]

+Sirr Bassius Don't forget to factor in altitude. I'm only making 80% of the horsepower up here than I would get at sea level. Running my current gearing peak power in sixth gear is around 80-85 MPH. Running faster than that is getting into the overrev where power falls off fairly quickly. At 90 it feels like its ready for another shift.

[@SirrBassius]

+TurbodanNM damn. not sure exactly what altitude I'm at but wide open in 6th mine almost seems like it don't have enough power to push it to overrev unless I'm going slightly downhill

[@christophertiredofbs8514]

My 1987 went 145 mph, I adjusted the carburetor screws and added a new filter

[@noidontthinksolol]

LOL 145mph ? i hope you meanth kph lmfao

[@ratedredneck96]

too much engine braking

[@TurbodanNM]

This is a common misconception about two strokes. I dont run them any different than I would run any other engine. Oil migration is negligible with the throttle closed, whatever is in there stays put. I've been engine braking all over the place with this one for over 3000 miles and it still looks great inside. Just had it apart to replace a transmission bearing. No piston scuffing, main bearings still feel like new, crank is still in excellent shape, cylinder plating shows no wear. I laugh when I read about people pulling their clutch in to coast down a hill. Its just ridiculous.

[@RustyShakleford1]

aksumiro your 50 seized because it had to work that much harder and you had the wrong jetting or bad oil mix
