i want more power!

Post by kdxmaniac »

if i send the carb and head to rb........how much would it help on bottom end? i want more power,grunt{like a 250}.......it runs great right now, but was wanting more......it just seems to be a little down on power for me. dont get me wrong, i love this bike, but i know it has more in it than what its giving.

My brother has a stock KDX200.... mine is modded with all the RB goodies... He says my bike is twitchy. It will power up anything quickly.

He will jet it close for you... you will have to tweak it.

I am using the JD needles... using the Red right now and like it allot. It is allot like a DEK... I prefer smooth and linear... still spanks when you want it too.

Get a DEK and a CEK needle... DEK is smoother than a CEK. A CEK will wear you out.... :mrgreen:

He's referring to the removal of the disgusting picture that was posted in this thread, and the user that posted it. There's not much else to say.


You get that carb and head shipped out yet? My head has been out there and back. Slight but noticeable difference in power with the modded head. Well worth it for the price! I'm hoping to get my carb out there with my next check. I get a little extra for bein on call this week, so maybe I can finally swing it.....

Since I had both my head & carb done at once, & replaced leaking crankcase seals, & installed 607 reeds all at the same time, it's hard for me to guage what adds the most. But I can say that the total sum was more than just slightly noticeable in my case. Feels like a different motor now. Extremely responsive throttle & the bike just wants to go. I'm betting you'll be grinning after you get the carb RB'ed. But that's just my hunch.
