Gnarly Pipe

Post by svtman79 »

So I put a 12 tooth front sprocket on my bike. This helps the low end a lot. I am ready to buy the pipe and reeds now. I am getting the 607's for the reeds. It is a toss up between the Pro Circuit and the Desert. I am leaning towards the Pro Circuit. What are your guys thoughts Also do you guys run spark arresters or just silencers?

It seems like most run the desert on a 220. Nothing wrong with the stock s/a no need to change the packing ever.

hey man whats up??? from what ive seen you sem to be looking for a lot oflow end???? Well IMO, I run a stock front sprocket with a 52 tooth rear. This means that 1st gear is useless, and your main gears are about 2nd, 3rd and 4th. 5th and 6th are nothing but high RMP.

This is on a stock bike though.

What I have recently done though is, put the same 52 tooth sprocket, with a desert FMF pipe, and what i have experienced is my bike balacing out. Instead of my bike being a tractor and pulling wheelies in 1,2,3,4 (which resulted in a fractured tibia, Torn Mcl, and ripped araprt ACL) the bike is more like a Harley. LOL.

What you gotta do is look at what you ride mainly. If you mudbog alot, then get the woods and mabye even a bigger rear sprocket. If not, then go the contrary. I say go with a rear sprocket because for me it is a LOT easier and cheaper to get those parts then drive ones etc. Either way just tailor your bike to what you mainly ride and remember the KDX is a Bushwacker not a track duster. Hope this helps.
