That is correct. The 700 is VERY fast off the line. At the last 3 rounds of the GNCC races, the Vforce took the holeshot in many of the classes they were racing in. At least if they had a good rider. The power is so instantaneous that the front end comes up in a hurry. More than once I saw a Vforce run the first 20 yards standing straight up, nose to the sky, and still came away with the holeshot. Some of these had dual DMC Alien pipes. I don't know how much that will increase performance over stock, but even the stockers were doing great.

This KFX does come out strong. I problem is trying to keep the front down. You simply
can not give it full power from a standing start. .... even at 20 mph, it will stand up if you
jab it all the way. When I race my friends .... I am usally carring the front end for about
60-75 feet under full power.

vforce;

I wouldn't be concerned about the low end, the clutch will adjust for the taller tires.

It will also change the additude of the bike, raise the back end, should make for better hole shots, but if it does affect low end, change the clutch engagement.

Seems like the machine has more than enough controllable power down low. I would definately try taller tires......calm low end power a bit and hopefully, if the machine can pull more gear, gain top speed.
