Has anyone else been able to crack the throttle while crusing in 6th gear at about 3/4 RPM and do a wheelstand? My 98 220 has been running like this since I had the engine done at Fredette's and it is truly a thing of beauty. I feel like I'm riding my old 81 Maico 490! He ported the cylunder, milled the head, installed a Wiseco piston, bored the carb up to 36 mm then I installed boysen reeds and jetted it to near perfection and man, what a difference! Scary fast compared to what I was used to. It already had the FMF rev pipe and TCII silencer. It is also able to climb a snotty or rocky hill lugging all the way for traction in 2nd or 3rd gear. I couldn't be happier with the results of the recent modifications and if anyone is thinking of selling their KDX for a faster bike, do yourself a favor and consider the mods I mentioned. You won't be disappointed.
