• What kind of engine does the KDX have?

  The KDX enjoyed a 198cc air-cooled, reed-valved engine that had been massaged by the members of the True Sport Racing team (see the KDX175 page on Cyclepedia). “I vaguely remember a KDX175,” joked True Sport team manager Jack Penton. “Our primary focus while racing in 1980 and ’81 was the development of the KDX200.”

• What are the benefits of the KDX Forks?

  Sharp edged acceleration bumps are a breeze, as the combination of suspension action and a thick, plush seat allow you to stay seated longer on the corner exit, keeping weight on the back wheel without punishing your spine and kidneys. Braking hard into a corner, the KDX forks get way down in the stroke, which is both good and bad.

• Are KDX Forks good for cornering?

  Braking hard into a corner, the KDX forks get way down in the stroke, which is both good and bad. The upside is that the front end dive really loads up the front wheel, giving you more confidence in the front end on corner entry.

• How good is the KDX for handling?

  The stock forks were easy for an aggressive rider to bottom out, and so was the rear end, depending on rider weight. In spite of this, the KDX was a brilliant handling bike.

• What happened to the Kawasaki KDX?

  The airbox was now bigger and easier to get at; and in a surprise move, Kawasaki did away with the electronic odometer and went back to a mechanical one. The final series of KDX machines were the “H” models, significant for the new KX-style perimeter frame. With the H series, Kawasaki finally moved the KDX into the realm of the race bike.

• What was the model number of The KDX200?

  The first three years of the KDX200 came with the model designation “A”—A1 through A3. Whenever there was a major revision to the line, the letter designation changed in a way that made little sense to the consumer. The next 200 in the series was the 1986 KDX200 C1; there was no “B1.” The C1 KDX was an interesting machine.

• Why did the KDX 220 create a new market?

  The 220 sold well to racers and trail riders who wanted a “small 250,” but the existence of the 220 did not create a new market; instead it cut into the market established by the KDX200.
