Hey guys,
Just chatting over a few beer with buddies about the average top speed of the kdx 220 with stock 13/47 gearing. Does anyone have any input or must we take them out on the highway (tomorrow) and clock it next to a car? No mods just airbox cover removed and new just broke in wiseco piston.
Thanks

I think mine went about 73 mph indicated on a Vapor trip compooter. That was at about 4,000' with a FMF torque pipe on it.

Mine will go just over 70 mph, maybe 75 if I hold it. Kinda scary, for me.

What's the hurry?

78mph holding mine pinned for just a bit...
Good thing it's jetted right !
13/49 gears


I just noticed you were asking how fast a 220 is...
Mine is a 200, the slightly faster of the twins :grin:

Mine put 82 something on the vapor with 14/47 gearing. GPS marked the Vapor to be right on at around 65 previously, so I figure it's within one MPH or so.
