No, you don't. Its the big-end bearing which is a specialist job, if you don't know what you're doing get a shop to do it.
2strokestroker wrote: | What yr kx USD forks fit if any? |
None are a bolt on replacement. You can take pretty much any year of KX/KXF forks as long as you get the correct size bearings. Given a choice, try and get KXF forks as they are more advanced than earlier versions.[/quote]
Kdx 200 top end go on or is they a kx barrel that will?
Neither will bolt on. I've never heard of anybody making either work.

KX is every 15 hours for piston and rings I believe. KDX200, fix it when its broke, is a real trouper in comparison. |
2strokestroker wrote: | is rear shock re buildable or what kx in will go? |
Shocks can be rebuilt;t, but they are not made to be disassembled, like most OEM shocks. Its the anti-tamper mechanisms, and lack of spares available which makes these more difficult than aftermarket shocks.
No KX shock will go straight in. Have seen a KX shock fitted, but this requires a KX swingers, linkage, and rewarding the top shock mount to the frame as this is totally different on the KX. Saw somebody fit a KTM shock to a KMX125, but with mixed results, and not a clue of what year shock fitted and if any mods were necessary.
2strokestroker wrote: | Kx exhaust? |
Doesn't fit KMX or KDX, they use a spring mounted manifold at the cylinder. The KMX KDX bolts on. Thats the first hurdle. Then fitments to the frame etc.
The main point though is unless you are running a KX engine, then a KX exhaust will do nothing good to the power delvery of a KMX or KDX. They are totally different engines, which need very different exhaust shapes to do their thang.
2strokestroker wrote: | I know could buy kx but wanted a Kdx when new |
Ok, maybe keep the KDX in standard trim them. They are great bikes. Or else buy a KX.

Ok nice.
2strokestroker wrote: | Anyone with a kmx200 barrel n head? |
Pretty rare now as said, I have some spares but holding on to them as don't know when would find another.

There's a guy selling sleeved ones with Mitaka pistons and gasket on feebay for 380 quid from Phillipines.
If thats too much keep trawling the bay, they come up eventually

Most people doing the same as you, wanting to go from 125 to 200. You could flog them and put the money towards a 200 cylinder. ____________________ 1988 Kawasaki KMX 200
