I run a fatty on mine. Bike pulls like a 4t in that I can lug it down low without stalling and has great midrange power. BTW, it still has plenty of topend for what I ride, desert single track and fire roads. I'm very happy with it.

A few guys had a fatty near my bike and they seemed to like it. I had a fatty on my 95 KDX 200 and I was happy with it. That was the bike that "you should have never sold" but did. About six years of good riding and I had to change the back tire and the oil a few times.

Several people have tried and the concensus is that it olny provides a slight increase in throttle response. The 607's provide a much better bang for the buck and outperformed the RAD valve....

I had a RAD valve and an FMF "woods" pipe on my '96 KDX200. The RAD valve gives a definate improvement in throttle response and mid range hit. I also currently have a V-Force cage in my '04 KDX200, but I do not have a pipe yet, so any comparison would be apples to oranges at this point. My early analysis is that the RAD and the V-Force offer very similar performance gains. The RAD valve costs about $20 more, though. Either cage assembly will give you much more performance improvement than just the 607 reeds, IMO (I have ridden a 2000 KDX200 with 607's installed).

how did the 607's out perform the rad valve? aint the rad valve the whole valve setup, with a aluminum intake? and the 607's are just replacement reeds? correct me if im wrong...
i have the rad valve in my ktm 380 and my 300..... loved the power or {hit} it gave me, but wasnt sure about how it would do on a small cc motor. havnt ever tried v force, and thats why i was wondering.
