|
|
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 _________________ i ve got it ive gt it ive got it sky grass sky grass sky grass ambulance. |

I've always fancied a KDX, used to have a KMX, which was a fantastic bike.
Anyway welcome to the forum |
