Some, I'd expect. The port timing of the engine changes considerably (well, so does the spark timing) in the KIPS 'on' RPM range.
I wouldn't worry about it.
Try not to loop the thing and break your neck! The bottom end is going to be very different.
Have fun!

Screw Karma and the horse she rode in on! The enduro has been cancelled due to heavy rains in Massachusetts. Oh well. I got the part and will spend the rest of the afternoon working on the bike. My brother-in-law is going to come up here to VT. and we are doing a route-sheet loop courtesy of NETRA! Real rocky ride so I can't wait to see how his bike does with the new trials tire he just spooned on.

Oh man is it good! It sounds different. It rides different. It is a whole new bike to me! We loaded up the roll charts this morning with a 41 mile loop that had not been revised since 1993! Needles to say, we ended up adding about 20mi. to it just to figure it out. We both ran out of gas as we pulled up to the car. It was so much fun and I am convinced that the little green machine is the bees-knees!
No matter what gear and what speed I could loft the front end over anything that came up with narry a fan of the clutch. So sweet being able to ride down low in the power band and short shift through the gnarly terrain.

I always say cat's @ss... but I know what you mean!
Yeah... I'm stickin' with the little green machine too!
Wow... so you never knew how a KDX is supposed to perform?

Well, I had only ridden the bike in stock form about 4 or 5 times before putting it in the basement for the winter. After doing all of the mods at once and starting out fresh in the spring, I had forgotten how it was to compare. BTW; The jetting is now spot on in the sense that there are no weird hiccups that can't be cleaned up. The plug is showing an even distribution of color over the entire ceramic unlike before it had a spot that was darker. Like it was facing the port that was not opening correctly.

ya, i know exactly what you mean. i rode mine on some tough trails for the first time of knowing the true ability of power. like you said, no matter what gear or what speed, just give it a little flutter of the clutch and it'll go right up/over it. we had gone on a big 55 mile ride that had not been worked on for ever and a big sieries of 20 foot rock faces and i am sure glad that it had all that bottom end. i had come close to running out of fule, but made it thankfully!!!
too bad that race had been canceled.
