Why So Slow??
Over the winter my wife and I went from riding doubles on a Raptor 700 to having a 2006 TLE Predator for her and a 2008 KFX450R for me. Both are bone stock. We took them out dunning this weekend at 9000ft with paddles. Between hill climbs, cruising around, and a couple of drag races, I noticed that the KFX has NOTHING in 1st and 2nd!! We raced the Pred and KFX and both times with different riders it didn't even look like we were racing the Kawi was so far behind???
Is the KFX just that slow in a straight line or is there something wrong with mine? I thought it would be just a little slower than a YFZ... not the case this weekend. Quick note: I love the steering and handling of the KFX!! I don't think that I could go back to something like a Raptor now!! Thank you for your opinions! Tim |

Is this thread true? Are there really inconsistencies as far as power out of the box? If so, has anyone identified why?
