300cc first impression, ride report
Did about 30 miles offroad over the weekend with the 300 jug(wiseco piston) and 14/47 gearing. First thing let me say it is still no power house. It does have more torque than the 250. Its like having the power/torque of being in a gear lower than you really are. On the street 6th has more than enough power for almost any hill. On the trail we were on I would usually be in 4th gear most of the time with 250cc(13/42 gearing)but this time with 300ccI was mostly cruising in 6th. Overall it is what Kawi should have put on it in the first place. Now I just have to get the FCR mounted that I have sitting on the bench for a real ride report.

Hey Jeff thanks for the update. You almost sound disappointed with it? Is it worth the $? I wonder if you'd get the torque you're after with the 45 sprocket?
Are you able to wheelie at all/better?

well quit typing and get mounting that FCR!!!! I went the other way, I did the FCR from Jerry 1st. I'm VERY happy with the carb- But I have a Bill Blue 331 kit on the way. Coming out of a corner its like I dumped the clutch. It hits so much harder.
Good luck if you need any jetting let me know. I'll post mine.

I would sayit's more of a value for the money than an exhaust system is, but you need the exhaust to get the full performance of the bigbore. I am not disapointed with it. In first gear chop the throttle than gas it with no clutch and it will stand up. I haven't really experimented with second gear yet with this setup. To be honest I think the gearing is just about good for me. I don't have a speedo/tach hooked up yet but for road riding I don't think I would want the gearing any lower. Although 13/45, what a lot of guys are running, is lower than my setup and they report road riding is ok.Once I get the the FCR on the setup should be sweet.

I have the vortex but haven't put it on yet. I think when I put the fcr on I will do that at the same time. How far does the vortex actualy turn. I know the stock throttle turns right around 90 degrees. Is the vortex like 45 degrees. I should look I know that the pictures are somewhere on the forum.

Put the vortex on first, you will like it. Hardley any time, other wise you wont know how much is from the carb & hpow much is from thew throttle & I'm here to tell ya the throttle helps a great deal.
