[QUOTE="Martin Cole, post: 671595, member: 47387"] When we bought our first KX60 in 1998 it was secondhand and the guy we bought it from gave me an aluminium plate, around 1/16" or 3/32" thick with an oblong hole cut in the centre. He said it cut back the horsepower considerably. The plate needs to be the same size as the inlet stub and it fits between the stub/reed block and the carb. I can't remember the dimensions now but essentially you are restricting the airflow/fuel mix into the engine. I'd guess you need to make the aperture around 75% of the original opening. You can use the reed block to mark the shape of the plate and the position of the four holes that locate the finished item on the studs. As long as the plate isn't too thick there is enough thread on the studs without having to change them for longer ones. Don't gear it down with a larger rear sprocket - it only makes them more responsive and easier to spin the rear wheel. Depending how old your rider is, I found it only takes a couple of weeks for them to learn to moderate throttle control anyway. Both my lads were eight when we got them KX60s - They now ride 85s so they lived through whatever the KX could sling at them! Good luck. [/QUOTE]
