Re: Buying a 34yo 2t enduro bike
Oh dear oh dear!
Every bearing on the bike needed replacing.
Had to bump it into life as the kicker had stripped the splines. It sounded like my old gt50 after a 6hr moped mayhem race ( that's not good BTW). Took the genny cover off, serious amount of play in the crank.
Steering was on a ratchet, wheels nearly turned freely, rear suspension was completely fubar'd, linkages and shock!
Rear brake worked, front was awol.
Whilst I was sucking my teeth and mentally working out the repair cost, they actually said 'we know what we've got!'
I said 'thats handy, €200 as scrap then!'
So I don't own a kdx!
