Default HP on the KFX 700

hey me and my friend are trying to find out how much hp the kfx is running...
i know the DS 650 is putting out 48 and the raptor is putting out 39, so how much does the KFX 700 have?
thanks

Those wheel dynos are a great tool for jetting,etc,but the rear wheel hp is not accurate for BELT drives.
With a raptor or something you lock it up in 4th gear and make a nice hp graph,but on belt driven quads it is different. I use one sometimes,and I know you can get good info from these by using the mph/time graphs etc. but hp is a bit squewed. One time I did experiment with clutching a v on one(not that I havent proven it to myself before on other belt driven models),and we could keep adding more agressive weights,and pounding more and more weight into the weights ....and keep showing more HP,bu....Fact is,that was not the clutching that proves best on the track when testing.
Most peoples dynos for quads are these wheel dynos,and they are a great tool for certain things,and they do show when you make a hp improvement.All I'm saying is that the "hp at the wheels no " is not really that comparable.

Seen the same thing, want more HP on a dyno, add heavier weights.

Need to get one hooked to a Schenk Dyno somehow.
