Tom711 Started a new thread Why are Bill’s Pipes not more popular?
8/9/2021 3:43pm So for the last few weeks I’ve been looking for a exhaust for my sons KX85. I looked at pretty much everything and also emailed a bunch of manufacturers, some vaguely replied and some not at all. Bills replied and gave me the information I was looking for so that was the one I ordered. We’re in the uk but...

I'm in need of some new boots, not sure what's gone on but mine (tcx pro) have recently become quite uncomfortable. I've been looking at the tech 7's, has anyone any experience with them or recommend something else at a similar price?

Tom711 Started a new thread Different model footpegs to fit kx85?
10/24/2018 6:37am Does anybody know of any other bike(s) that share the same footpeg design as the kx85? I’m in the UK where aftermarket parts for the little kawi are not very popular, so unless I want some overpriced poor quality Chinese ones We’re stuck with standard.

6/6/2018 2:02pm Me too. We would of been looking at the yz 85 for next year had it received the styling updates of the 65. Maybe 2020?! 
Tom711 Added a reply to Avgas - Jetting Changes?
4/13/2018 2:15am Thanks. I’ll have a little more time at the track this weekend so going to take a bunch of jets and have a play around with it. How long have you run Avgas? Have you found any negatives? I can get it around the same price as premium pump fuel so it seems a little too good to be true...
Tom711 Started a new thread Avgas - Jetting Changes?
4/11/2018 10:10am I ran Avgas (100LL) mixed 50/50 with super unleaded pump fuel today in my sons KX 85 and it spluttered/popped pretty bad on top end, I’m guessing (hoping) it’s a lean main? It was unusually cold today and we were riding a deep sand track so these could have always contributed. Is it common to have to richen the jetting...

2/11/2018 6:57am No linkage on small bikes like the 65s makes perfect sense.

2/11/2018 3:59am Great hardware? We’ve spent the last 4 years racing KTM 50&65’s (which is what the Husky is no matter how you look at it) and they are junk. My son moved to 85s this year a year early because he wanted to ride Kawasaki and it’s without a doubt the best move we’ve made. The build quality of the kx...

2/8/2018 7:22am I spoke with sales at Doc Wob’s initially and when they told me to return it for repair I emailed Bill’s to check they were the uk distributor and if how they planned to rectify the problem is as Bill’s themselves would expect. They confirmed they would repair the pipe with a new flange but would need to see the...
Tom711 Added a reply to Why are Bill’s Pipes not more popular?
2/8/2018 1:42am It was bought from doc wob and I have contacted them about it. They said if I send it back to them they would repair it but couldn’t guarantee when I’d have it back. I genuinely don’t see why I should be the one to go out of my way to pack and post (at my expense) the exhaust back...

2/7/2018 1:09pm I wish I had done now. I think it will be back to HGS for us in the future.
Tom711 Added a reply to Why are Bill’s Pipes not more popular?
2/7/2018 12:55pm Think I’ve figured out why they’re not more popular. After no more than a couple of hours ride time the flange broke away from the pipe. I’ve contacted them and they suggested I send it back (I’m in uk so that’s not going to happen) for them to “see the pipe in person” and then they would repair with a...

1/31/2018 11:47pm That’s funny because the name or the fact that it isn’t used by any of the guys all other tv or social media wasn’t even considered by my 10 year old son. I just told him it was the best pipe for him and his bike and he was happy. I might of dropped TP’s name once or twice just...

1/25/2018 3:49am There’s a number on the rad shroud but it’s hard to see if it’s 65 or 85. It was posted as 65 on Instagram, I’m just the messenger

1/25/2018 3:36am Maxxis come stock on the new ktm 85s. Possibly 65 and 50 as well. It was the first thing that stood out to me to be honest though.

1/19/2018 3:31am Sorry to drag up a old thread. Have you done any testing with the dep pipes on the KX85s? Apparently they do a lot of testing with the youth team green lads. Don’t suppose you have a dyno graph of the hgs compared to standard? Cheers, Tom.
