I have had mine for over a month now and the only problems I have had were the brake/reverse cables needed adjusting which is to be expected. Its bone stock atm and I love riding it. I know some complain about the seat being hard. Seemed so at first got used to it. As for gearing and such it matches my riding style. Stays planted nice and is fun to play in the sand with.

I ride the Derry - Freemont trail every Saturday and we had a bit of fun in the mud area of a pit off the side of the trail. Was a Banshee, a modded to hell 200 (blue forget brand) and a ltr 450. I had no problem keeping up around the make shift track nor when we made a circle track for sliding. I was also able to pull a perfect donut on it for about 2 minutes without effort.

I have not ridden any of the other new machines they all seem to have advantages. I bought mine as I wanted the reverse plain and simple. Ok so I like the looks and the new features like FI and the frame as well. But I plan on trail riding so reverse was a big seller for me. And I must say the reverse is 10X better than my Wolverine 350's.

 

i only get to ride , maybe 16 hours a month , all trails , so reverse was a big push for me , as well as FI , carbeurators suck!

 

Well I have made it a point to ride at least once a week. I am trying to hit the Derry - Freemont trail every Saturday so far so good.

Reasons I bought the KFX

Reverse (I am old)
Engine: The KFX motor is a proven commodity
Aluminum frame: Light and Rigid
Looks

To start anyway.

 

Yes carbs suck, thats how they work no?

 

yep , they suck in more than one way , i personally never had much of a preference until i got my first streetbike with fuel injection. i wont own a carbeurator once i find a fuel injected weedeater and a chainsaw.

 

LOL

 

well , picked the bike up on Wednesday evening , rode it around the yard ( about an acre) when I got home , backed up a couple of times , put it up

nice little puddle and moist area aound the reverse shaft boot, pulled the boot back its full of oil .


im getting my money back , maybe they will be better next year.
