The power band on my 85 KXT kicks in very abruptly, and if your not paying attention could be pretty dangerous. Does anybody have an idea what could be the problem?
What gear are you in? 1st, and 2nd are really aggressive regarding powerband on mine, the moment I snap open the throttle, it's like I'm strapped to one of those Acme rockets you see on those Wile E Coyote cartoons 3rd, 4th, and 5th smooth out a lot. Those first 2 gears are intense though.
I think thats just the way they are....it's pretty fun. You'll get used to it and know exactly where it's at. It's discribed as 'wicked' and 'violent'. Embrace it and go with it, lol!
Ha! Is this guy for real?
sounds like the power band is too tight. try adjusting it the adjuster is right next to the topsy tail
PAY ATTENTION, Its basically a non power valved 2 stroke that was designed to be run WFO or very close to it, you can trail ride them once you get used to them but you will never tame them it's just not part of their nature, They are capable of many things including curing even the worst cases of constipation in the inexperienced and easily frightened If you want to smooth things out, installing a cam and valves should do the trick... otherwise get yourself five gallons of pre-mix and a change of pants and have at it...
This is good stuff. I always refer to it as having two speeds. On and off. The switch is built into the right handlebar grip. Wearing pink panties might add some more speeds in between the two that come stock.
Sounds to me from the comments. There are 2 strokes...... then there are Tecates. Advise is taken.......grip it and rip it
You got it brother
That's the spirit!
