I have a new KFX 700 and I would like to modify the clutch. I don't race the quad, so I don't need it to come in slower like in a race car. I spend most of my time on trails with small jumps. So I want to take advantage of the big torque and maybe tame down the wheelie I get right now when the thing all of a sudden comes in.
My thought is that I could trail ride at a lower engine RPM and save on fuel, then have a more predictable acceleration. I know for racing, in my car, we bring the clutch in slow to keep the RPM high and in the max torque range. Great for racing, but would never work on the street. I guess a trail riding KFX is similar to a street rod than can be a full race car also.
Please let me know what you experience has been when working with the clutch on this machine. Is there a spring kit I can purchase that will make the transmission smoother without spending a bunch of money?
Thanks,
Shawn

 

All you need is a diferent clutch spring. It will change the whole feel of your bike. I have the EPI pink spring with 3 shims. It is still good for trail rides but is great for drag racing too! It will spin the tires without a wheelie (unless you want to).
