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  ;)

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:
