Default 07 kfx 700 smoking wheelies

Has anyone had a problem with the motor smoking on long wheelies . this bike is brand new . broke in right. on extended wheelies it starts missfiring .when i set it down and look back to my horror the thing is smoking like a blown motor it clears up . then runs fine. i thought these things were the wheelie kings .

also these 400 honda's are eating me up on the big end . i have heard that the muzzy pipe, k&n filter, jet kit and the clutch kit would wake it up. what is the best combination for a dependable but fast ride.

I think that happens on wheelies because oil gets into the airbox. Try dropping the oil level about 0.1-0.25 quarts and I bet that problem will go away. That should still be a safe amount of oil for the motor to run without problems.

If you are just looking for more top end start with a clutch spring. For 30 minutes of your time and about $25 you will have a machine that feels completely different from stock.

And then of course you can get into the other stuff. That 700 engine has tons of potential -- there are guys running 900cc big bore kits on them!

Muzzy is the best single pipe especially if you cut the can! but you can get more gains with say an HMF Dual, Alien Dual or Yoshi dual set-up but they will be louder. for a stock motor the best spring would be a EPI pink, for a Piped V that you want to drag a bit with the Orange/Blue is one of the best and after i few rides you wont notice the stall. a 6 degree timeing key will also wake up the V quite a bit and smokeing on wheelies is cause by to much oil.

In my opinion the EPI red spring is a better stock spring than the EPI pink. I have found it to really wake up a stock v force. The stall isnt too high, you wont even notice it after a few rides. Just my 2 cents worth.
