Bike Performing Differently
Hi Guys.
My KDX220 is performing differently since i put the FRF exhaust spacer / Ring inside.
Oh - I've also topped up my transmission oil.
It feels like it is holding back and straining itself in first/second gear.
I am unable to get into third atm due to the very tight terrain on my property.
I don't whetehr this is due to the ring or something else...
Help?

Let's not "assume" anything please. That gets nobody anywhere. Take the spacer out and test it again. Bet you can do it in less time than you have spent on this thread. I had one in my 200, hated it. Felt like it took WAY to much top end from the bike, and added only a little to the low end. Waste of money IMO, but I think I told you that already......

That is the general concensus. Jetting it correctly will take you further than anything else. Concentrate on that.

I find it hard to believe the Torque Spacer would cause this.
