KDX Radar Run Gearing Question
Posted: 09:46 pm Sep 03 2010
I plan on doing radar runs on the ice this winter with my KDX just for the hell of it. I have a ice tire with 1 inch studs and a liner so it is obviously spinning more weight which will suck up a bit of power plus I'm not exactly small (6'4", 270 pounds). I have all the basic mods done to it, FMF pipe and silencer, Boyeson reeds, airbox lid removed, I have it jetted correctly and had it jetted dang near perfect for the winter last winter so the jetting will be good. Right now I have 12/47 gearing on it and it pulls really hard, will loft the front wheel in the first 4 gears with just throttle and is topped out instantly. The motor is strong since it was recently rebuilt by me including new KIPS valves. The radar run is 1000 feet of clear ice. I want to hear gearing suggestions for a 1000 foot run. I was thinking 14/47 but am not sure how well it would pull 6th gear then. Any suggestions are appreciated!
