from the ad:


MEAN Kawasaki KDX 200, 2 stroke, everything is stock except the rear exhaust which is a FMF pipe, and I have had power bands put in every gear (only comes stock with powerbands in 2 gears)--FOR THOSE WHO DONT KNOW POWERBANDS HAVE TO DO WITH YOUR SPROCKETS!, 5 speed, runs great and ready to ride! top end re done, great looking bike but rear fender has small crack, can be replaced for about $25. REAL FAST! Have used only the best factory oil for it. Has water coolant, would consider a trade for a quick 4-wheeler. If interested please call (828)582-4879 or (828)216-6933 leave a message if no answer and I will get back with you asap!

I've always wanted a "MEAN" bike, but have never been able to find one - until now! So...how long does it normally take you guys to install YOUR powerbands?? The blue ones always take me the longest. LMAO!

By the looks of his choice of gear, he definitely should be on quad. Hope he finds someone willing to trade. I bet it already gone, i mean come on, it says it has water coolant!

Protecting his head? I think it was a waste of money buying a helmet. Motion Pro makes a powerband tool cuts down install time by half. Bought that instead of the used tire air reclaimer.

I emailed the kid and simply asked him if his the part about the powerbands in his ad was a joke. here is what I got in response:

"if you read tha ad and know about a KDX you would kno about it. dont email me again."

I believe a quad is in this kid's future, no doubt about it

you should NOT be wasting all the air in your old tires. what do you think happens when you fail to reclaim the air in your used tires?? you sound like the kind of idiot who would rather worry about appearances and "bling" rather than do important stuff...I bet you dont even take the time to lube your muffler bearings , much less to reclaim the air in your used tires. WTF , man

Well is does have Factory Oil in it too let's not forget how expensive that stuff can be.

This is real. This guy called me wanting to trade my 4-wheeler (that I got for free guys, because, no I don't ride 4 queelers). Anyway I'm trying to dump this 4 wheeler and this redneck calls me wanting to trade, and I mean this guy is back woods. DMXS should call this guy, somebody that knows them forward his number to them for a crank call.

Reclaiming the air is a time issue not a bling deal. As you know reclaimed air can only be reused in existing tire system and not transferred into a new tire without drying and filtering. My muffler bearing are space age polymar that do not require lube...you really should have known. Always believed hell was slow and tormenting, eternal? Guess what he probably votes as well.

Probably quite a bit... the bike only comes stock with 2 powerbands so he had to have 3 installed to get one in every gear.Laughing

I thought only cassette transmissions had powerbands on the gears? He must have done a tranny swap from Cannondale, so its obvious he has a LOT of money in this bad boy.
Its probably worth at least 10 times what he wants for it.
