No. Or, at least it didn't on my KDX220. Understand what a torque ring is and does. It is a spacer. It extends the length of the pipe without increasing the diameter. It does nothing that I could tell by riding OR listening to it. Well, it did make it harder to fit the pipe back on the bike. Ask Jeff if he uses one on his own bike.

Don't forget to repack with quality L-BO grease.MXOldtimer wrote:Use heavier cards on the spokes.
OK, just joke'n. Seriously though go to your Kawi dealer and order 98 KX muffler bearings part# 98-250-0004. They'll try to sell you the 0003's but they have a more thumper sound.

I'd rather make a 250 sound like a KDX!
Wish all bikes sounded so SWEET!
I love pulling up to a crowded staging area after a long ride, running too tall a gear, just lugging the motor along, barely any sorta exhaust note at all.... thing sounds so COOL!
Then there's all these asshats on their noisy POS thumpers!
Running full throttle right passed the rigs
I usually flip em off, or yell at 'em and tell em that thing sounds like a WET FART! (I do, just ask Brad)

Hey mine too!! I really think it has alot to do with a competition exhaust. The spark arrester and more packing quiets things alot. Just don't change your packing all season, or try using household insulation. Once it gets soaked with spooge it is all the same anyways, right?

If you don't want to spend the money and order new Muffler Bearings to get that 250 sound you could go the cheap route and pick up a couple cheap 7-11 Bean Burritos before you ride.
You'll definitely sound like a 250 but you'll need to stop every couple miles and clean out the shorts.
Eat 4 cheap 7-11 Bean Burritos and you'll sound like a KX 500.

04 KX-250 Hey.....at least it's green and smokes.
06 KDX-200 for off road play. Gone but not forgotten
07 KX-250F SOLD! I thump no more.
