[QUOTE="Red_Chili, post: 1017577, member: 65383"] Well, you figgered you would get me I guess. You uncorked the bike, right? The intake rubber manifold will make you sick when you see it. It's a cynical attempt to make a dirt bike Cali Green. Toss it. The main goes up a dozen steps or more when you do, if that is any indication. A 68s (not a typo, different than a 68) pilot is called for. Maybe fatter at sea level. The bike runs lean and hot down low and will boil easily in the tight stuff. Kind of an interesting contrast to folks here who say the KDX runs hot - not in comparison!!! A higher temp thermostat will allow the coolant to 'dwell' in the motor for longer, absorb more heat evenly, and the temp differential when it hits the radiator will keep things cooler. No kidding! Also, Redline Water Wetter coupled with the best coolant you can find, works. Or Evans coolant when it breaks in. A radiator fan is not a bad idea, I've not really needed it yet except on the occasional tight twisty and hot trail in August. I slapped a KX500 rad cap on it to increase coolant pressures slightly, preventing boiling. Seems to work. The bike could use a pumper carb really, but it's not necessary. To enhance punch when blipping the throttle it's nice. Change the fork oil frequently in the beginning. Comes out the consistency of your two-year-old's nasal discharge. There is a redesigned clutch bushing which you undoubtedly already have. Also footpeg mounting redesigns, again, you already have it if it's new. Baja Designs makes a turndown that keeps things quieter even if you use the comp baffle; I did not (modified the stocker retaining the spark arrestor). They also will rewind your stator for 200W output! If you wanna dualsport it, it seems to really like TrailWing 301/302 tires. They work really well in the dirt or street. It's a whole different experience from the KDX of course, nice to have both to appreciate both. The KDX will never feel lighter or more nimble, nor easier to ride, than after riding the BRP. Oooooooo, but that right hand never felt sooooo effective! :aj: [/QUOTE]
