Default What is oyur plans with KFX700 V-Force

Hay what is everybody going do to to there V-Force?How will you modify,customize, and increase the power in it?All I plan on doing is afdding a K&N, dual exhaust , and jets to mine for power.Then some bumpers and nerf bars, that should be it. I am curious of what people are going to do to them when the aftermarket kicks in.

I plan to do all those changes .... plus perhaps to changing the rear tire size.

I have been giving some thought that maybe 24" tires would reduce the "wheelie
effect" at the start some .... and then add more top end speed.

I intend to test that a bit by putting the stock tires from my P650 onto the KFX.....
My friend has a modded Rappy we are using as the "bench mark" because we
know how they preform against each other as it is .....

24 in. tires seem a little big to me but whatever is your cup of tea.How fast do you think the KFX will go with that size of tire? What will duals,K&N,and a K&N jet kit do to my KFX? I not much for changing a arms and suspension, way to much money for a 15 year old. How much did the HMF exhaust cost and what did it do to your KFX, i want more top end fotr my KFX so what pipe should I look into?

24" tires are about 10% taller ..... so should go about 10% faster "if" the engine will rev to the
same point. ( that is not a given..... remains to be seen )

HMF dual exhaust adds 7 rear wheel horse power ( $525 )
(they also sell a slip-on that adds 4 rear wheel HP ( $230 )

check out HMF at .. HMF

PS ... when I was 15 .... I had a MoPed !!! you probley never heard of one those [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

I have ITP baja wheels and highlifter, Durablue wheel spacers, I just bought a dynojet kit, HMF exhaust, Twin air filter. I'am going to install the dual pipes and jet kit and also modify my air box next wednesday. I plan on buying Elka shocks in the next two weeks and the Diamond G snorkle and CDI when they come out also the nerf bars and foot pegs from roll design. One question when you modifed your air box did you put the holes in the lid pointing to the front or the rear of the v-force, also did you remove your snorkle or keep it on. Thanx

Do you think you could jet higher than 145,142 with your airbox mods, what elevation are you at I was wondering what jetting I could use with my hmf dual exhaust and drilling some holes in the lid, I'am at 500' above sea level. Any info would be appreciated. Thanx

A CDI controls your timeing I had an aftermarket one on my DS650 and it made a big difference it was probably the best mod I ever did I can't wait for the one for the V-Force.

I know they will handle more than the 142/145 .... because I have those jets
with a dial-a-jet set up on top of it. The dial-a-jet is supposed to be worth
a couple of jet sizes.

As for the air box .... I have two square holes on top .... with slide valve on them
so I could adjust the air volume with ease.
