He musta not had a clutch kit($200 mod) or else yallda been neck and neck the whole way.Ive raced a piped predator several times back to back on dirt an it was neck and neck.

Why in the world doesn't the aftermarket or something come out with a manual transmisson kit for the KFX. Or am I over looking? How many people that own 700 would deny the need for a manual trans?

Please excuse me.I shoulda said from my experience.I run 22 inch sandstar rears and they really slingshot me outa the hole.I usually lose to: piped YFZs w/haulers, piped 450rs w/extended swingarms&haulers,Banshees w/pipes, DS650s with pipes and haulers and raptors w/ motor work and haulers.If you take away any of theese variables,I'll usually win tho.Now on dirt,a piped predator will stay right beside me,and I believe they run the same as a Raptor on flat ground.But I do have more than just a pipe and filter.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Default KFX 700 VERSUS RAPTOR

Since I own a 660R, 700R and V Force, I'll tell you the facts, no BS:

A stock V will beat a stock Raptor for the first 300ft, depending on rider ability, the Rapor won't catch it

A stock V will beat a piped, jetted, airbox modded Raptor off the line, the Raptor will catch it and beat it

I don't know what a modded V will do, mine is bone stock, actually the wifes, she lets me ride it

The V is quick off the line but falls alittle flat about 50mph, that's where the Raptor passes it

My 660R is piped and jetted with no airbox, the above results were my personal observation

I'll be matching up the V against my 700R soon and report the results

Bottom line: The V's a blast to ride, it's fast and if you do clutch work, pipe it and mod the airbox, it'll fly

Default KFX 700 VERSUS RAPTOR

I had a different experience with my raptor when it was stock.The v took me off the line a bit but by 3rd gear i passed him and beat him by 2 to 3 bike lengths.I am talking about racing on asphault.and now i dust all v forces if they are stock or mod for mod.
