I musta rode some one of a kind stock KFX700's cuz i sure had no problem hill climbing on them and rippin thru the woods. and we live in the same area. they may not be rockets but they are good quads and you could mod one make the average moded yfz look pretty silly for lining up in a drag.
hmmmm, interesting, cant wait to line up with one. Pretty sure out stock 700 would put the whoop down on it, and my yfz will take the 700......so whatever! Congrats on your FAST kfx700 lawn tractor! I'll probably have to sell my race quad for one!

by the way, my 04 yfz is back down to almost stock. Its cammoded still, has a gytr filter on it, and the p-shooter is taken out of the stock exhaust and is of course jetted. It still pulls the 700 pretty dang good in stock trim. Both on asphault and on dirt!

Boom I aint got a KFX i have just ridden other peoples. and i have read about them layin 100+hp to the ground. Most people with them dont spend the time in set up. stock they aint that fast but their still fun to ride. Why the hostility? Stock they wont out run a piped raptor 660 but they aint far behind.

there theres some guys pushin mid to high 4's in 300 feet on their Vforce's (KFX700) Thats not to shabby for any 4 stroke. Hell sandbombers DS is a mid 4's bike. and that thing makes most yfz's look silly.

The kfx does have potential. But after spending $6 or 7k on a new kfx why should you have to dump another 2 grand to make it competive with the other 4 stokes?

Um because thats what people do.. A raptor is not competive with other 4 strokes stock. takes some cash to make it competitive, DS not, YFZ not, TRX not none of them are competitve because everyone mods them. stock most quads are pretty close.

I agree with what your saying. It just seem to take alot more $$$$ to make the kfx competive with quads with the same mods.

Why did you decide to start taking mods off?

Your previous post was full of BS. I raced a KFX with dual exhaust with my stock DS and he got me off the line each time but I usually just held with him. To say it won't make it up half the hills blah, blah, blah is just macho bull spit.
