Hi Everyone, I have just picked my self up a rather neglected KDX 125 to use as a mule to liven up the trip into work. I have an r6 as well but wanted a trail bike as i thought it would be better than the r6 in traffic. My plan was to just give it a service then run as is. well thats what i told the wife! i have accidently bought a chain and sprocket set new some spare plugs new grips some hand guards fresh fork gaiters a complete engine as a spare and a new gasket set for it and fresh mikita piston. I now plan to strip spare lump get it blasted then rebuild and put it in . To say the last few owners have not been kind is an understatment but to be expected with a trail 125 . I do require a rear wheel as this one has a large split in it. I will post some pics as soon as i get home in daylight . R6 is clocking up my workshop at the moment . Oh we are about to move house so the mrs is most impressed with the constant delivery every couple of days of more bike junk as she calls it Very Happy

I've always fancied a KDX, used to have a KMX, which was a fantastic bike.

Anyway welcome to the forum
