[QUOTE="BRush, post: 133858, member: 18729"] The bike was great, particularly the suspension (MX-Tech , not that they're the only ones who'd do a decent job). The stock suspension would have beaten me up. It tracks *so* much better now. The bike was quite capable of going faster, only the rider was not up to it :). Setting up the bars and ergos to make standing more comfortable is another thing that helps a lot. The porting and bigbore helped most when I was too tired to stand on the pegs anymore. Having that smooth power and low end grunt available to get me re-started up a nasty hill that I just stalled on was really great. I came across a rider on what looked like a CR-125 set up for woods riding. This kind of bike with an aggressive rider will typically spank a KDX in fast riding, but the rider was played out and in total sit-down mode and the bike looked like it did *not* want to be ridden that way and was making life rough for him. The KDX may not be the fastest thing around, but it is good for "energy conservation" when you have to ride that way. My one setup thing that I would change would be tire pressure. I run a Dunlop 755 on the front and normally run 10psi. Because of the rocks I bumped it to 12-13 psi. Big mistake, changed the whole feel of the front end. The front was a lot more slidy. If I had to do it again I'd keep to 10 and take the chance of a pinch flat (the 755 has a heavy carcass and I run heavy MSR tubes) [/QUOTE]
