That's funny. After I put the pipe on my bike I actually went 1 tooth up on the freont sprocket. The pipe also gave my great bottom end power. It is a great all around bike. I have riden my brother's raptor thru trails and my z handles way better.

The way mine is geard now is absolutly amazing.I love it,just a little scary in the woods till I get used to it.I fliped mine over backwards the first day I regeared.I was showing out for the camera and was gona do a slow wheelie driveby.It was in the sand though so no damage occured.

KFXCarnage:

I hav seen you say that the gearing you got was a bit scary in 2 post of yours now.

was it just a bit to get use to????

I had a Raptor changed the gearing.could not keep the front end on the ground in the woods.

This the same with the X/Z?????

Its just has better acceleration seems like to me.Yea I thinks its just a getting used to thing for me.This is my first sport quad after years and years of dirt bikes.
Like riding a wheelie was a peace of cake I just put it in second and blip the throttle and I'm up and hit 3rd gear etc. for as long as I want or if I hit the gas to hard the right tire seems to grab and make the quad wonder off to the right (I hate that).Now after the gear change its trickier starting out the wheelie.To me anyways.I have just about got it down now.
In the woods I haul a$$ and say I'm sweeping a long turn I gas it the front wheels come off the ground and I lose my stearing and I go off the beaten path which can lead to ouchy ouch.lol Almost did that 3 days ago riding around my house.

Wait a minute why am I inside the house on the pc its riding time just got off work.I still got an hour and a half.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

Mine drifts to the right.ITorque on the right wheel I guess.You would think it would be the left wheel since the sprocket is over there.

Love my KFX and would'nt trade it for anything, my gripe with it is stock suspension is to soft for jumping big and it calls for reserve at 1/4 tank. Other then that I love everything about it.

If your atv is drifting check rear tire pressure and front tie rod alignment.

My Z only does it when im doin wheelies.

Rear tire pressure is the same.

Mine did not do it With the stock Tires.

Now with the mods I got.

Like KFXCarnage said its got to do with the new Power/Torque/Tire Hook up.......

Damit I just fliped mine over again in my backyard doing wheelies like 20 minutes ago.The back grab bar plowed up my grass like sodd peaces.Thank god my pipe doesn't touch the ground when that happens.I like the gearing change for drag raceing but as far as playing doing wheelies and stuff it makes it more difficult.I have never fliped it until I regeared.
