And you wouldn't use some fake name like"dash" either. You would be proud of your real name. If the kid says he seen v-forces getting smoked, than thats what he seen.
Yeah, everybody in this world always tells the truth. Three 700's and they ALL had Pro Circuit dual exhausts that I haven't even seen advertised anywhere?

A REAL V-FORCE SIGHTING

Why would I lie, if I would have seen the 700's beating every thing else I would have told you I am not making anything up. Maybe the scrambler didn't have a scrambler engine but whatever it was it beat the 700.
And they did all have procuircut dual exhaust systems maybe they are just not out in west virginia yet, I dont know but that's what they had.

I am not a lier I just wrote what I saw.

I know that HMF makes a dual exhaust for the V-Force now. The link is Dual Exhaust Nice hp gains on top of it, but I thought the V-Force had more hp stock than that....

My mistake for not fully investigating the age/gender/IQ and rider ability of those I reply to. After I replied I did check his profile and I somewhat retracted my harsh comments... so my apologies to LT250. Welcome aboard.

Crashman44b.... It appears that your are a little naive to trust whatever is posted on these boards. (BTW...Congrats on the 16 posts)

Im having to agree with lt250rider. In a short 1/8 mile drag a scrambler can beat a 700. Ive done it. We raced twice and I beat him by a couple feet. The second time he beat me by a couple. It all depends on how far the race is and the hole shot. In a 1/4 mile the v force would probably out run me because of its midrange power and top speed.

ProXPredator,

Not knowing 100% whether or not it is true, but according to other Threads dealing with the topic of HP ratings on the KFX700, it has been said that it is difficult to get accurate HP readings on a CVT equipped ATV. The reason being is that generally when you Dyno a Quad, you leave it in one gear and run it up to it's peak HP RPM. With the CVT, there is no way to keep the trany from constantly up-shifting, thus making it hard to get a proper reading.

Like I said, I don't know if this is true or not, but I have read this in more than one Thread on this Forum. I'm sure that we will hear several different opinions on this, but it does tend to make sense to me.

I went with lt250rider to the drag racing event. And I saw the same thing as he did. But there were two stock 700s and only one with the pro circuit duals on. The one with the duals on, beat a raptor and another 700. The other two 700s lost every time they ran.

The only reason why the dual pipped 700 lost against the scrambler, was because the scramy didn't pull his tires off the ground and the 700 did alot. Same with the other two 700s against other quads.

Even thoe the 700s lost to highy modifed quads and a somewhat modifed, I still plan on getting one in september.

I am not saying this to make anyone mad but the v force is a fast bike ( for a four stroke) , I raced one the other day that I know is stock, with my bone stock 03 shee and he never came close to beating me on a 100yrd drag on the pavement 20 times and the dirt 7 or 8 times. But for a four stroke it is impressive!

That is correct, we have a dyno at work and dynojet has told us that you cannot get a accurate dyno reading on a auto tranny. He has told me that they are working on new software to get accurate readings with autos. He said that when they designed the software there wasnt that many autos, but now they are dominating the atv market.
