ghott Posted December 6, 2006 Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 Z's are a great little trail bike. Not the fastest, but definitely not the slowest. Treat her well, and she won't fall apart on ya :beer:. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drnez Posted December 6, 2006 Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 (edited) My friend has a 440 kit on his kfx.Its really not that fast. You need the proper combination of cams, carb, exhaust, and intake to get the full use out of those big bore kits. My KFX has a 434 (athena) kit, stage 2 cams, high comp piston (14.25:1), FCR40 carb, K&N Filter, and HMF Carbon exhaust. I have no problems keeping up with a buddies shee thats bored .40 over... Of course he'll kill me on top end, but who beats their quad off the rev-limiter constantly? Probably have a little over $1000 into the motor, pushes around 45hp at a local dyno shop. :cool: Edited December 6, 2006 by drnez Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClimbAnyHill Posted December 6, 2006 Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 I saw a turbo DS at my last Dumont Dunes trip. That thing was hella fast!!! Had everyone turning heads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top speed is based more upon gearing rather than engine mods. Of course, you need an engine that will actually pull itself to that top speed. Now quickness...thats where its at . How fast can you get to 75mph.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adrenaline junky Posted December 6, 2006 Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 I saw a turbo DS at my last Dumont Dunes trip. That thing was hella fast!!! Had everyone turning heads. I saw that thing at glamis. It was in the camp next to us. Dude that thing sounds like a diesel truck! Didnt that thing have a straight pipe? The end of the pipe had a 4in diameter!

ClimbAnyHill Posted December 6, 2006 Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 I heard that thing down the desert & barely got to see it up close. Didn't get a closeup of anything on the DS. As it was taking off... i could hear that turbo!! I think it was a yellow one??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
