Well I have been racing X/C for 9 months on my KFX now and have learned a few things.
1. Switch to the Yuasa YTZ7S battery for better starting and more cranking amps.
2. The Dirtbike clutch works well. I run the EBC KX450f clutch in mine and it pulls better. (you do have to remove the 2 spring washers that are inside of the first friction plate) then replace the clutch as normal.
3. Lube everything alot the factory must have had a shortage of grease.
4. The brake pads are the same as the KFX700.
5. The stock carrier bearings are weak, I put on the Lonestar carrier with heavy duty bearings.
6 The Tusk clutch is junk.
7. The Tusk oil filter doesn't fit properly
8. The Tusk brake rotor is a inexpensive alternative to OEM and seams to work good so far.
9. grind 1/16" (no more) off the steering stem stops for sharper steering.
10. The bike handles so much better while seated after modding the subframe (lowering the rear}.
Sorry I can't add pictures to the central sites ( too much hassle). If you want to see them check Quadzone forums in Gt Thunder section.
So If anyone else has any tricks or tips to add post them up.....Happy Holidays guys....ric
