yea definitely ,forgot to mention ,my dirtbike runs 15 /48 which i like for pull and topspeed
PowerFiend:
I just picked up a KX5 today, and have to say that it accelerates a lot harder than my 07 CR250 or my tired CR500, so something is definitely wrong with yours.
...and YZ250's won't walk on either of the CR's.
stewart:
thats sad... somethings way off..
KTMEXC125:
could it be the gnarly pipe? my 2003 k5 seems like the power just flattens out on top. it has a gnarly pipe, stock silencer and stock gearing. it'll pull a wheelie in 1-4 and has plenty of compression (just been replated and new piston) i havent dragged raced any of my friends bikes, ive only opened it up by myself on country roads but it doesnt seem to be very fast on the top end. maybe 80 mph. so im guessing a gnarly kills top end??
kaw rider:
Throw alot of gear at the gnarly and she will be happy.
