I got a 2021 kx100 a couple months ago (thanks for the advice!), and its my first smoker ive had. Why does the powerband feel so high up in the rpms like its redlining? i hear 125 and 250s have a powerband peak under the redline, but my bike just keeps charging till it redlines. Anyone know why?
Sounds like youre used to 4t's..
The Shop
It is pretty easy to get a more aggressive engine characteristic out of it, but if you are racing harescrambles and doing well, a more aggressive package may actually be a step backwards.
Hey at least we’re not sending you to your local shop to look for a cam for your two stroke like my buddies did
Pit Row
I remember being a kid and going from a z50 to a KX60 and being almost scared of how much hit it had up too..
Sad kids won’t go through that anymore..
BTW, there's a guy called James Stewart. Watch and listen to anything he did on a two stroke. Danger Boy Deegan, Adam Cianciarulo.
Listen and learn. Have fun!!
To the OP, what you're describing is the nature of a 2 stroke mx engine. It'll take some learning and adjustment. Also, you might get more serious replies if you include a pic of the new bike with the question.
