Monster Energy | Villopoto Rides the KX327 at Ironman

I like the PV design in the render looks like it covers 50% of the 3 exhaust ports.

Like every other efi bike that’s available, certainly. 

I had absolutely no idea villopoto ever rode/raced a kx250. Thats a bit of lore I had never heard before. Once he explained the timeline it made sense though. The same way that stew was racing against all the 4 strokes on his 2 stroke kawi because kawi didnt have a 4 stroke yet, RV was down in amateurs at the time and in order for him to race in the 250/450 class with kawi he would have had to ride a kx250 also. I just figured he had never raced or rode a 250 or 450 until he moved up to the premier class, but apparently he did. Very cool piece of moto trivia! 

Great video. It sounds great to me. A deeper tone. I wouldn’t want it to have the old 2t hit. That’s fine on a 125, but on a more powerful bike it makes it more difficult. 

Mitch needs to get a works pipe and shorty silencer done for that thing asap. Definitely sounds a little choked up. And you can’t have a Kawi two stroke with out a PC pipe and silencer on it. 

I watched the video several times and was able to figure out at 6900-6969 rpm, the jetting is 0.69% lean and makes the bike sounds like a total POS.  Lol, you armchair mechanics troubleshooting this bike from a Dirt Shark video are lame, probably just jealous deep down your favorite color OEM didn't launch this bike.  This thing is awesome and is going to be an epic bike!

Too bad Eli is on a KTM at the moment cause I’d like to see a 327 sequel to his Dirt Shark KX250 video he did in Cortez about 8 years ago while still on a Kawi.

He hammered that bike.

What's faster?

A 327cc two stroke with "hit"

Or 

A 327cc two stroke that puts power to the ground.

"Hit" = spin = slow.  Stay with me.

"Hit" on a 327 also means fatigue.

This isnt a 125 or 250.

Who cares how fast it is, I dont want it to sound and feel like a kdx 200

PC r301 will get the sound like you want.

I doubt this is anything near a kdx.  Im sure if you test rode one and spun that throttle you would be firmly on your back.

You need new speakers, 😂

You should’ve seen him at Budds Creek in 2003, I think it was. The MXGP. Waxed the entire open class field on a 250. I mean destroyed  them.
