Rev pipe to woods pipe switch

Post by SCREAM »

I currently have the Rev pipe and my 2002 200 has such a hard hit when the valves open I was wondering if I could just switch to the woods pipe to spread this power out. I did a search on flywheel weights because a couple guys I ride with recommended one from steahly but after reading your guys thoughts it talked me out of it. Background on the bike is: brand new top end on rebuilt bottom end, Rev and powercore, v-force reed cage, RB head and Carb, sprockets are at 12-48. Thanks for any help fellas.

BTW what the hell is this? :toimonster:

i wonder how much he could gain by playing with the KIPS adjustment?
if he takes out one washer it should hit later and maybe less abrupt?

If you're still on the stock needle, a DEL + re-jet will smooth it out considerably.

When you say it hits hard does that mean you are having trouble keeping the front wheel on the ground? Maybe a little taller gearing might help? 12/48 is lower than most guys are running. Just a thought.

Julien, not on the stock needle anymore because I have the RB modded stock carb. Not sure what needle he threw in there.

DIYmirage, I wouldn't mind messing with the KIPS if I had some clue what I was doing. Got any pics?

RBates, I will end up getting a woods pipe just to have both for different riding. I was hoping I could just have one for all purpose riding but this rev pipe makes power up high and hits hard so I need something for rocky, tight, single track.

KDXjack, not really lifting the front unintentionally but it reminds me of riding a brand new KX100 if that helps. The bike runs clean, smooth, and strong its just real pipey.

I guess my unreasonable convoluted question is, can I just swap pipes without changing anything else like jetting or premix ratio? I'd like to hear from other guys who have tried both pipes to see how big of a difference it is and what they noticed. I'll also be giving a full review to help others who are trying to decide. Thanks again fellas
