Be sure to check that it isn't a nicked one.

It's not going on the road so not really that bothered, however the thought did cross my mind!

erm, you SHOULD be bothered if its stolen and should probably be checked. if it is stolen and the police catch you thats instant "handling stolen goods" if they dont try and pin the theft on you

It's got half the important bits missing that make it look like a decent trail bike, and secondly make it run properly. No airbox a strange looking exhaust and probably more bodges than you can count, and id bet the engine is likely to be oozing blue instant gasket from every joint.

To have brought that with no log book, no paperwork and no key's, then you'd be a much braver fool than me!

Most 10year old+ trail bikes have probably either been nicked at least once or at least had an attempt on them by now, so the odds that your's is completely legit I don't really fancy TBH!

It's a shame that things are this way with small trail bikes, but without a logbook, keys, matching frame number' s and some history id run a mile from any small trail bike, so the chances of me being able to replace mine with something else are not too great!

It's never going on the road, the engine isnt staying in it anyway so exhaust doesnt even come into it, it's the frame and plastics i need! the frame and engine numbers wont match in the end anyway, just needs a NOS rear fender and its sorted, KDX 200,220 or250 will do nicely!

your best of running an HPI check to make sure its not stolen anyway.

as said, if it is you will get screwed over.

why don't you look for a complete KDX200, 220 or 250 ?

The suspension & chassis on those are better than the KDX125 anyway, and no mucking about trying to get the bigger engine/exhaust to fit.

Somebody on here fitted a KMX200 engine to a KDX125 years ago, but the frame had to be cut and re-welded to allow the exhaust to exit the cylinder.

So 7 days ago it was the bike you were picking up "tomorrow", now on your ebay listing you've been working on this for a "couple months"??
Also no engine of engine/frame numbers, or that you never bothered to HPI check it, so could well be a stolen bike...

Fuck buying anything from you on ebay!

I think you've probably done well not to buy it. If it isn't stolen it's looks like it's had a few years of slave labour by some kid.

Ok, you have made yourself look very silly now, i found the bike on a private facebook sale, i was going to go and get it but never did because funds let me down, that ebay listing isn't me, it's the guy that HAS owned it for a couple of months. So shut the fuck up and sort yourself out. cheers


Dont know why this was voted down by someone, he's right after all, i misread, my mistake.

YES THATS RIGHT, SOMEONE ON BCF ADMITTING THEY WERE WRONG!!! Laughing
