thanks for the reply, did u do anything w/ the airbox or the exhaust & carb..

 

No not yet. I'll do it once I think my skills are up to it. I just changed the front sprocket to 13t and I felt a big difference. Once I think I need more low end torque, I'll rejet first . trails around here has water crossings and I don't want water on my motor so I'll pass on opening the airbox .
If you ride mostly trails, then changing your tours tires and putting rim locks will greatly improve your riding skills before anything will. I followed this forums advice.
Also make sure your suspension are dialed in according to your weight. Set the sag properly. http://www.planetklx.org/techtips/sag.html
I'm 139 lbs and its just right from factory. good traction once I changed my tires and proper air pressure.

Before going to trails, get a decent handguard . The sturdy ones. I fell hard on my first ride , I would have been stranded if it weren't for it. My handguard bent on the clutch side but I was able to hammer it back. Happy riding. stay safe.

guys on this forum are awesome. I took their advise well. They told me having better traction and dialed in suspension will help improve your riding skills and keep your skin intact . Additional power for m e at the moment can wait until I think I need more of it.

 

thanks for the replies. much appreciated!!

 

just curious w/ the upgrades that u did. doesnt it require a DJ stage 2? i also bought a 2012 and want to do the upgrades as well. i just want to be sure i make the right purchase.. thanks

 

X2... So how you like it without thee rejet and just the pipes. Any increase or decrease in torque?

 

definitely more responsive after i took out that screen-baffle-spark arrestor
w/e the thing is called in the header pipe (lol) and added the FMF powercore 4 slip on.. ill be ordering the DJ kit stage 2 next week and will mod the air box also..
