Powerband Question(KDX200)

check out the dyno charts...should give you a decent idea of what to expect:

usually when the power valves open up at 6000rpm you start to feel more, but probably after 7000 is when it really comes on strong

I was going to buy a torque pipe for my 200, but it looks like the rev pipe beats it pretty badly everywhere, and it hits max torque only 500 rpms later, unless I'm completely misreading the graphs. :think:

I've had both the torque and rev pipes - i much preffer the rev pipe over the torque pipe but i think it all depends on the way you ride. With the 225 (from 200) i have i have plenty of low end power.

:eek: :) That's a hot topic that get debated frequently here. Do a search and enjoy what you find. :thumb:

Thordian, you sure you want a KDX? Have you tried one? If not, see if you can.
For more pix, check out Canadian Dave's homepages (well, the JustKDX homepages) - it's listed in the post by FredT - "every KDX owner should read this". Sorry, I don't have it bookmarked at the moment & manage to get the url mixed up.

I met one person a long time ago that thought the hit on the KDX was too much & I had no idea what he was talking about. I thought my bike was the most docile thing you could get ;) Since riding my (shhh) TTR a lot, I've found what he was talking about & get a bit of a shock when first hopping on the KDX. It does depend on how you set it up though, stock she is real docile (read boring), torque pipe's better, but I love the PC pipe/FMF muffler combo. I'm now waiting for someone to come out with a three-stroke bike (that i can start) to suit my riding style (lack of, that should say).
