i ride some long twisty country roads and was wondering is it easyer on the engine to ride in the powerband gear and run higher revs or lug it a gear high and run it on lower revs? im not really sure witch is better. any ideas?

Lower RPM's are always easier on an engine.

If you were riding a bike that likes to foul plugs I wouldnt lug it. But a KDX doesnt foul plugs.
