Re: What tires to run? (viper1)
I converted my '97 KDX 220 over to motard last year, and put the Avon's on it. Really, that's all I did. I didn't upgrade brakes or suspension or anything else, I just wanted to see if I liked it before going off the deep end. Then of course I bought a KTM 625SMC, and am loving it!
The Avon's are OK, but the 17" wheels on the KTM make a huge difference. If I ever decide to convert the KDX all the way, 17" wheels would be the first big upgrade.
