Best low end-mid pipe for 98 kx250
dirk_411:
When I get them I will weigh kawasaki's 5/16" & 3/8" for baseline numbers and then see where exactly the tungsten fits in. I will have to try them with my stock spring then try the 98-99 kx250 spring and see from there

I got my 5/16" tungsten carbide balls. I weighed all 3. I didnt any precise way of weighing these. I used my wifes digital kitchen scale.
5/16" stainless steel- 2 grams
5/16" tungsten carbide- 4 grams
3/8" stainless steel- 4 grams
So for me on my tecate 4 with the "1851" jug I think its a no brainer. Im going to run the tungsten carbide balls and oppose it with the kx250 governor spring. I've essentially better simulated the the kx250 power valve characteristics which I feel better compliment the kx250 mod on my quad.
Now im going to see which kawasaki power sport machines use the 5/16" set up and maybe look into ramp and cup swaps. Stay tuned

There you have it...
The weight of tungsten carbide is from 1-1/2 to 2 times the weight of carbon steel...
Nice job 8-)
Foxx4Beaver:
cool...thanks for sharing dirk.
can I ask where you ordered the tungsten balls from?

In Cali I believe. If you have technical questions talk to Eugene.
He told me tungsten carbide was really the only other option because of it's wear properties
