Max RPM

Post by kjdad »

Installed a trail tech hour meter. It has a tach function and max rpm function. Whats a good RPM to set as the max in a stock KDX200?

Not sure I've ever worried about a max rpm. You must ride awfully fast!

Well the KIPS actuates around 6k, so I'd probably start at 9 or 10K and see if you ever bump against it. TBH can't ever recall a time I've run it to max in normal riding, except maybe during a missed shift on a gnarly climb or something :grin:

I would assume 10,000. I know from reading past dyno run charts, they lose power before 9,000. It is curving downward.
Thank you for participating on kdxrider.net. :bravo:
