KDX fans should visit Canadian Dave’s JustKDXsite and its discussion forumfor great technical and other info on the KDX series. See also the forums at KDXRider.net. A handy fuel-oil ratio chart(PDF format).
Is it possible for a KDX part to fracture?
It’s an inexpensive part that can fracture on very rare occasions (mine did).
What kind of oil does a KDX Kickstarter take?
KDX kickstarters are sensitive to gearbox oil weight for some reason, and you will notice that the problem is worst when the oil is cold and thickest. I have found that 20W-50 causes this problem on my bike.
How do you adjust the throttle on a KDX?
1. Remove the carb. 2. Remove the lid that is behind the carb (it’s only two screws). 3. Check the adjustment by moving the throttle cable from idle to WOT (wide open throttle). Note there are two marks: one for idle and other one for WOT. 4. Adjust as necesary (top right adjustment screw). Mine was was way open.

What to do when your clutch nut slips on a KDX?
If you have trouble getting the clutch nut off because it’s tight and the clutch plates slip, try jamming a piece of steel pipe through the rear sprocket so that as you turn the clutch the pipe binds against the swingarm.
