    SUBJECT: GOOD OLD KAWASAKI KDX200

    Hello,
    I currently own a 2001 KDX 200. I've kept the bike bone stock over the years and always wanted more power, but I was young and financialy unable to throw money at the cause. Now that I can afford to do so. What would you suggest to squeeze some hidden power out of an already awesome bike? (other than installing the FMF"Gnarly",which I intend to do, soon!)

    This is one of the finest all-around bikes ever built.  By all means, go for an FMF pipe and a set of Boyesen reeds.  Then go for two teeth more on the countershaft sprocket.  Don't worry, the bike will easily pull the gearing.  At this point, the bike will be a joy to ride.

    Here’s a photo of the KDX200 I personally owned for over a decade.

    I first saw one of the Rage Maicos on display at an open house at Bill Ramseys Motorcycle Accessory Shop (MAS in Mesa, Arizona).There was a small crowd gathered around the 1981 490 Maico and most of the people just shook their heads and jaws hung wide open. The bike was staggeringly beautiful and the attention to detail was incredible. The Bobby White project started out with a 1979 Maico 250 core bike. It was dismantled, sorted and the work began.
