Then I have one more question, I have an FMF Turbine Core silencer on my bike, How much more top end would an FMF pipe give me? Thanks
Slipknot6, Welcome to the world of the "Not as Popular as MX Bikes Dilema".
When I got my KDX I was very much like you. After my purchase I was so happy with it, it hadn't dawned on me that any bike that's not a "Race" bike, is hard to find custom parts for.
That's not to say there aren't some out there.
The problem is plastic is cheap, but the molds aren't. No company is going to sink any money into new molds for a bike that "may" not be around in a few years(2-stroke diehards take it easy here, note the keyword "may", we don't know if the KDX line will be considered "competition" for the '06 ban).
It wouldn't be that expensive for say Acerbis, UFO, or Maier to make some of the parts they already make for the KDX line in other colors, but then we come to the wonderful "law of supply and demand".
So alas my GREEN brother I know of your struggle. The only way to cure it is to jump the fence to the other pasture.
Cause we all know the saying "The grass is GREENER on the other side".
Good Luck :thumb:
