Mine is also stable WFO in 6th ---IF it's going in a straight line. Problem out here in the desert is that they stick turns in there every once in a while. The KDX is not at all predictable cornering hard in 5th or 6th. My KX, however handles these little surprises like a dirt tracker. Farcry2 is right on --the KX is a hard hitting, go fast, high flying thorobred. When you try to slow it down in the tight gnarly stuff, it hates it --and lets you know that it hates it. The KDx is a complete opposite - it loves the tight stuff and can even make an average rider look great! Just depends on the type riding one's going to do. I'm glad I kept my KX for those days I feel like racing, but sure glad I discovered the KDX for the days when the going gets rough.Originally posted by Jackpiner57
Am I the only one who owns a KDX that is stable at high speed? I can rip through 6 gears WFO with no stability problems.
You can make the KDX engine rip BUT, The rest of the bike is not up to handling any speeds above 3rd gear. Where your KX was pretty stable in 4th & 5th --the KDX is a nightmare.
