So the normal evil bay search for a rear wheel on the kdx is proving fruitless . I dont want to buy new as im trying to keep costs down as she needs so much other bits replacing. Any suggestions on what would fit from other models guys ?

Is the KDX wheel different from the KMX?
Rear KMX wheels also differ in size between 125 and 200 models.
If you post a picture and sone dimensions maybe we will be able to help?

120/90 x 18 tyre is fitted to KMX125 model rear wheel (4.1 x 18 )

May be worth checking out this as an alternative ?

Having checked one of my 'all things Kawasaki' books, the rear wheels on the KMX125 & KDX125 are the same size, however disc size is different (Kmx is 230mm Kdx is 220mm) & disc bolt spacing is different, so you can't just swap discs.

TS is right about larger rim sizes on the bigger models. I'll have another look later but maybe look at the Kx range???

Also it looks like none of the 4 strokes share the Kdx's rear wheel.

Pic does not show the two and a half inch hole filled with body filler in the rim . Love a learner bike!
