RB Carb Mod

I concur,.. RB. will also fix your needle, slide, etc.
Your desricption was very specific until you got to the 'needle' part ..

You have the power already - you state that you never use 5/6 - so move them down to a useable range. Drop the stock chain guide and go with 11/50. That thing should rip your arms out if the wheel ever hooks up.

Thanks a bunch I'll havto try or better yet ride someones with the RB mod , and yes was thinking about gearing down a little more to stay in the power range I posted early on the 94 KX front end looks like they will be mine on tue afternoon hope to have every thing in place by the 18 for the next hairscramble race, The GNCC this sunday May ride down to SC put the 12-13 back on its the only race that is wide out open they used the 4wheeler track 12 miles 1 mile of single. Done it 2 years ago its just a long drive about 4 hours. Anyway the local races here are tight some times supper tight only use 1-2-3 gears just looking for a little more pull down low to lug my way threw the tight section a little more easery, Would that auto-clutch help here for that perpose, to lug instead of slipping the clutch alot. Thank you again.

Dixie:

At my last enduro there was a KDXr with an auto clutch on it - and we swapped positions a few times. I was amazed how little work he had to do. In windy single track - he left it in third - int he tighter stuff - he just left it in second. It would slip and lug without effort and seemed to work really well in the rough stuff.

I caught up with him after the race and he said he just plain loved it.

I think I have three big mods left - damper, auto clutch and a big tank. then I am done for a while.

I have the 225 kit with the mo better everywhere porting and it made the bike alot more luggable. It makes a ton of power evrywhere.

Dixie, Get your suspension completed first. You may be suprised that you are now able to ride faster with improved suspension. I would recommend the RB Designs Air Stryker carb, hands down. That thing rocks! Ron's head shaping at only $40 more. If finances are an issue, I would recommend the RB Design rework on your carb. Easy peasy to remove carb, wait a week, install carb and play, play, play.
I haven't done the Eric Gorr thing. But as others have pointed out, it is another way to go. It will involve pulling the barrel and all that labor on your part, so you may want to consider this when you are doing a teardown anyway.

after reading this thread i tried the 12/50 combo again today after adding a 10oz flywheel weight. i think i like it better now. 2,3 and 4th feel great for the woods and it doesn't spin as bad with the weight.

Picking up the KX front end around 7-8 tonight Have to get axle and make spacer respring and a revalue hope to get thing going soon , If this upside downer makes that much of a improvement maybe 4 &5 gears will be possible. No comments on the 240 kit, I live here in the middle of NC, Now that the race season has started I dont think I could do without my carb for a weak or two, Have to wait for either the july break or winter to set in for the RB-mod or air- striker carb, Still need to ride someones who has this done to compair, HAY ANYONE IN HERE FROM NC BE SIDES ME that has this carb mod so we can test and compare , Be at the next race in Taylorsville on the 18 of april Flat-Rock. Be side all of the other extra and add on goodies and a few home maid mods this little bike has a good hunk of change invested more like its on bank account, But I can say this it is the best little KDX around for relibiltly and has never let me down on any race or trail ride. I hope those upside- downers dont start Blowing fork seals, I hope the trade off in the long run is worth it. When the fork swap is done and a couple of races on it Ill post back with a review .

Ah - come on - Dixie is such a cute name.

Anyway - i have the RB carb mod and the 225 from Eric Gorr (originally 200). I do have to say that this bike pulls whenever i need it to. Extremely luggable in the tight stuff but will still wind out in the open. :thumb:
