Default KFX 450R

Does anyone know anything about the new KXF 450 R. I looked at one the other day and thought it was pretty cool looking and the Aluminum frame i think is awesome. I would like to hear about the pros and cons of the new ATV?

Not again lol [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]

being out just over a year now it has had a few issues!!!

like the gas tank recall, spining bolt inserts... But as far Con's go right out of the box...

The seat is as hard... U might as well sit on the sub frame..
It's Geared very low...
Gas tank is small...
Very corked up motor...

If you can get past that its a great quad imo

But blot on the "big 3" as some call it, get it to a dyno for a fi map, & the thing really wakes up...

U can check mine out here If ya want

So they can keep up with Banshee's then? I dunno about all that, I know you were most likely "stretching" it alittle there, but lol....that's crazy.

Especially since everyone says they are so corked up. Spend 1k on it with mods, and a proper tune, and they should be un-touchable.

Ya Doc....w/ your mods I would say you should do pretty well w/ 1 right out of the box...

BS is just messin w/ ya doc, he knows that only if u r on the hard pack w/ 1 of those chain saw motors is when u can run around @ "1/4 throttle" & "smoke" everyone.....

I was gonna say, I bought the wrong machine!!! jk

What did you do with your 450? (the green where the black usually is). Paint it? Photoshop? It's unique, and pretty cool looking.
