[QUOTE="gwcrim, post: 687498, member: 35528"] 90% of my riding is slow woods with my soon to be 7 yr old son. Once jetted correctly, my KX5 starts easily (but you gotta know the drill) and idles nicely. But on that 10% of the time that I'm out with the guys the KX5 ROCKS! Ya ride it in a gear higher than normal and let all that torque work for you. The optimum rev (for me anyway) is just before the powerband comes on. I suppose that's in the middle of the torque band. That way, when you need a shot of nitrous, just twist your wrist and light the afterburner. The only BIG caveat is that you MUST know how to control your throttle well. The big bore 2 strokes are going the way of the dinosaur. Get one know so you can tell your grandkids about it! :thumb: [/QUOTE]
