I've just brought myself a fairly tidy and completely original KMX200. I'll pop some pics up when I pick it up.
Just on the off chance, I don't suppose anyone has a pdf copy of the service manual? Cheers! |

Well, I'm going to try to keep it fairly standard but I will be using it over the winter (as my CRM250 project seems to have made no progress whatsoever this year).
I'll get some better pics at the weekend.
Yours is a very nice example, what are they like to live with day to day?
I almost bought a DT200R earlier this year, but it was a lot more expensive than the KMX. Hopefully this will be ideal for my needs: something light and pokey for blatting through city centre traffic. Essentially a 125 with a bit more 'oomph'! |

Easy to live with, in fact almost too easy as they pull like a four stroke with the extra torque and smoothed out power curve with the kips.
Great in traffic and nimble.
They came in two power model specs in addition to models A2/3 (only says this in my Kawasaki workshop manual... Not in the Haynes version)
Check out page 2 on here.. Carb spec differs

I'll whip the carb off and see what needle it's running. I'm guessing from the comments in that thread they are no longer available? |

Knowing my luck it will be the only KMX200 in the world restricted to 12bhp. |
