Those things are not all that in stock trim. Bert and I waxed are buddy Macs ass last X-mas and it was the same result. He was pissed all weekend. Might be a different story now he's got the big three and changed his gearing.

I like the looks of the KFX  :thumbs:
A review I read said, the standard 3 mods, 15T, adjust toe for better tracking (twitchy)
& soften the shocks a little.  Add a Quad Tech seat is its a good machine.
I'd sport one  ;)

Its sharp looking.  He got the 08 SE all black with tribal stickers.  The stickers didn't last the trip home, they had to go  :lol:

Don't a anti-vibe stem. That aluminum frame sends a ton of vibration through the handle bars. Rode that thing for half hour and my hands were numb. I do like the machine also though.

Nah, his predator is quick for an abused 4 year old quad.  But you can tell that KFX is corked up bad, with the big three he'll be more than happy  :grin_nod:

Yep, he just ordered the Fuel ATV intake, PC3, and Dasa 13" system.

From the info he can glean fro KFXcentral, he'll be staying stock geared.

My buddy got the big three from Fuel ATV for his '08 KFX450R.  Fuel ATV intake (Very impressive piece), PC3, and DASA 13" full system.



So we raced again..........



5 for 5 races ~350ft.....






got him by 1 and 1/2 bikes everytime  :grin_nod:





Not bad for a 2 mod rappy with a adhoc map  ;)

How's the map working for you?

Worked all last weekend, so never even had to the chance to ride. Been averaging about 60 hours a week. Hope to be off this Friday, Saturday, and Sunday and get some seat time in!  :grin_nod:
