It sounded great in a few clips, and not so great in others. Tells me more about microphones. All sounded better than any 250F.

I'm guessing that the delay, may have to do with that.  In some cases it runs perfect, and others maybe not.  So thinking they are working...

They're going to use a carb?

We can only hope the new KTM TBI carb conversion kit from Pinnit Racing will quickly developed a 327 kit.

They should get someone racing it in MXGP where it doesn't need homorated by the AMA. I'd love to see if put thorough the paces.

That's right, wasn't thinking. It's only EMX, and only 250 that allows both 2T and 4T at the same size. 20 demerits for me.

Baylor talks about the 327 starting around 2:10. Recorded back in September?

Such a good listen. Lots of good insight on Sexton,  Prado, and Kawi in general. It’d be cool if his team ran the 327.

He literally said what everyone already knows, that manufacturers ship bikes a little more rich than lean so they don't have units seizing right out of the showroom.  He also said that he rode different configurations and it can easily be made to be faster than a 450 with mapping

If a TBI bike arrives rich or lean, guess who can't correct it. You're stuck with it until an appointment at the dealership can happen. Add to that, there may not be a re-flash available for a minute. After the re-flash, you may not like the new mapping, so you wait again for the next Kawasaki release. A year later maybe some guy has cracked the ECU code, but you don't like that re-flash either or maybe it even seized. 

After spending time and dinero to make or not make progress, then there just might be less hate for a carb conversion kit.

I can just about guarantee that when one of the first KX327s hits the Gallatin Valley that it will be strapped down in Belgrade at Dynojet and a Power Commander 6 will be available shortly after. Spend the $530, then hook it to a laptop and do all your own tuning if you don't like the basemap that Dynojet will have loaded up or waiting for Kawasaki/dealer to fix it for you.

Couldn't you just buy an aftermarket ECU and avoid all that drama you mentioned?
