Finally got it all done,ALMOST, have the pipe and air filter and jet kit in now,the needle's are one notch to rich, I went by the instruction's and it said needle's in the 5th notch, alter riding it need;s to be the 4th notch, will do that this week, even with it a tad rich it runs really good now, much quicker than stock on the low and mid range, top speed only increased 2 mph, but the rev limiter will only let these thing's go so fast, all and all a good power increase for the money 300 buck's for everything.

 

I assume the hmf is different exhaust? if so how loud did it make it?
If the top end is 2mph faster, how fast does that make it with a gps?

Glad you like your upgrades, sounds like a fun ride..

 

With the quiet baffle in ,The HMF sounds alot like stock but much deeper and slightly louder, with it open it's pretty loud. when it was stock I could run right with anoter 650 a friend has, his speed was 65, 64 on GPS my was reg.62 so my speedometer has alwats been slow, when I put the pipe on it went up to 63 now with everything it shows 65-66 that's about 3 mph slow, so 68-69 is what it will do now it's on the rev-limiter now and will not do any more.

 

I bypassed the "only start in nuetral" switch on my prarie 400, I wonder if you could bypass the rev limitter. I know this isn't smart on a manual transmission vehicle (ie. sportbike), but on an automatic you'd only reach redline on the top end of the speedo. With the rev limiter gone it seems that you could judge when to let off.

When it hits the limiter is it cutting out or sputtering?

I always thought the gearing and transmission dictated top speed.

 

I was wondering if that custom pipe setup was still 2- into one or is it a true dual setup. if there was a way to remove the rev limmitter that would put the kawi up there withe the raptor and other sport bikes in top speed. in sand drags my 660 grizz does pretty well usesing 4wd if I had the extra power the kawi twin is putting out, things might get a little more interesting. I would love to build up a utility bike that could run with the top sport bikes.

 

It is a two into one set-up, I don't know how to disable the rev-limiter, unless someone start's making a new CDI box for it, plus it's set at 8500 rpm, the twin may not go any further without blowing?
