no, the porting is the same as the US model. just that there is no exhuast header on the front for aftermarket pipe. got to buy a separate header backet. the top head cover also got a temperture sensor built in. the left side cover resonator has got an extra outlet tube for spoo to drip out thats about all.
A true KDX customizer!!
ive read elsewhere that the timing is different but am yet to check the fiche to see if we have any part number differencesKDXsg wrote:no, the porting is the same as the US model. just that there is no exhuast header on the front for aftermarket pipe. got to buy a separate header backet. the top head cover also got a temperture sensor built in. the left side cover resonator has got an extra outlet tube for spoo to drip out thats about all.
someone has fitted what must be an E model pipe to mine, 1 of the brackets does not fit just above the kickstart lever in which i am going to have to make a bracket to hold them inbetween. can you go into more detail on what you mean by "no exhaust header!"
i have no temperature gauge on my clocks...

cheeky this post got away from me, if you take the side of the pump off there are marks for calibration, easy enough to just jack it up a bit, but i am still preferenced to running pre-mix, less **** to go wrong!

I replaced the tiny 28mm carby with the KDX 35mm carby and it required a new air box boot and inlet rubber to fit the larger carby. I also fitted the air filter fron the "E" series which required a new filter cage etc. This was in the days before EBay, so if I was doing this mod today I would just buy a complete E series air box off EBay. Much easier and probably cheaper as I used new OEM parts at the time! I had to open up the reed block insert with a grinder to match it to the larger inlet rubber, and I also did away with the oil pump and just run pre-mix. You will need to fit the single throttle cable from the E series.
Fitting this carby make a BIG difference in performance! Well worth doing.
(I've now fitted an RB carby so the old KDX goes even better!)
Cheers.
i like this guy better.
yeah i definately will, i was going to retard the timing slightly aswell to put the power more up top for a bit more fury, but i'll wait until the carb is on and jetted right 1st never good to change more than a few things at once!!
cant wait to have the more power, that is why I went back to 2-stroke, 4-stroke power is so linear and boring, I had a drz400s before this, did everything to make it the 'e' model (up the compression, fcr39, bigger header, cams) and it was still boring as hell, sold it for £1300 and bought the KDX for £700 and i'm already far happier, its far more fun even with the girly 28mm carb.

Mmm. Yes, easy enough to turn the pump up. I said that. Not so easy to know if you've turned it up enough to get adequate oil to the main bearings. You could have it cranked to max and it still not be enough to cover the much larger intake system you are using. I guess when you spin a bearing, you'll know you didn't have the pump turned high enough?moto_psycho wrote:juliend wrote:Mmmhmm.

Do it!
