HI CD. Thanks for the welcome.
I've been with Just KDX for over a year now.( just under another name,,,,lost my password as Bucket)
I've been reading alot about the Kdx under this form and enjoy it much.
I unfortunetly don't have any stock parts.(pipe/silencer etc.) :( . I'll have to live with what I have for now..I belive in making what I have work first, then expand from there.I'm going to send an e-mail to FMF for more detail on my pipe. It fits like a charm so I believe it's authenticly designed for my year(not a pipe that was forced to fit)
Read Eric's guide on timing and I do keep a log on my jetting progress.I'm looking forwark to retarding the timming but only after I get the jetting correct..One thing at a time right! ;)
I'd also like to tamper with installing several exhaust gaskets to try lengthening the straight section of the pipe resulting in more bottom end.
I do have an extra 12 front and I'll give that a go soon.If I like the results I'll go larger on the back next chain change out.Currently third gear is my gear of choice in the woods..Low rev's,,,tones of torque.
I am learning a lot about jetting and general tuning as I read and experiment with my bike..From what I had, when I first bought the bike, to now is a huge imporvement but there is still lots more to go.
The bike pulls like a tractor down low now but I''m sure it can only get better as I try new/different things.I do like the way it turns on but,,,,like I mentioned it can be tricky. I will try differnt needles as recommended..
If I understand corrently a B taper is more so what I'm looking for as compared to the C I have now. With my set up now I don't get any fowling or sputtering down low. It pulls nice but turns on too hard.( for me anyway)
Excellent to hear from all. Thanks and keep the advice comming..
One can never know enough... :) Learn form experience,,,even if not from your own........
