I'm a new member in need! I got rid of my old 400ex and picked up a v-force and i'm not sure why. I thaught that 700cc would be absolutely nuts but i got to say that i was sorely mistaken.
The machine is an '04' with about 10 hours on it. I just threw in a Dalton clutch kit and kept my fingers crossed but was let down again. Can someone tell me the best mods for your dollar because if it takes another 2 grand to make it fast than it's gotta go. Let me clarify that when i say fast i don't need to go 100 but it better tear my arms off. Thanks to everyone that gives me some feedback.

vens right... for about 1k you can just about double your horsepower on the bike... it is like night and day..... you will not be dissappointed...

Did I miss something here if you think the kxf is slow then that 400ex should have felt like a complete turd. I would have to agree with what was said already do a big bore you won't be disappointed.

search on here for the 12 hole airbox mod.drill the jets.put on a pipe. it'll run with or faster than most 450 with bolt ons and he price is fairly cheap.

Yea my Bro-inlaw has a built up 400ex and my bolt-on 700 will absolutely destroy his Honda. My 700 was fast even when it was bone stock.

you might not be used to the steady pull of the automatic.. ive had 2 440EX and they were not a little bit fast, but the little snap they give when you shift might give the allusion..

What did you throw in for the Dalton clutch kit the DPK 56's, 57's or 58's?

With any of them you should of felt a lot more on bottom although they could feel a little sluggish with the blue spring.

The 12 hole mod, and a minimal of an overdrive cut clutch will certainly help, and the 12 hole is pretty much of no cost but can't say the same for the clutch mod.

Thanks for the advise and by the way, the trx may not be faster than the kfx but when you come out of a burm or anywhere with a rolling start ant you can pin the throttle and want more it is discouraging from a 700, when you can do the same thing on a trx and snap the clutch and stand it up.

12 hole mod, trim the springs, polish the slides, spark plug mod, VFJ Stage 3 clutch, a good filter, exhaust & jet it correctly. Should not cost much more than $500 or so. It will be a good bit snappier..
