big gun, k&n, dynojet and progessive

Post by Kent » Thu Jun 03, 2004 1:42 am

Well I finally bit the bullet and added the Big Gun race series header and pipe along with a dynojet kit, a K&N air filter and progressive for springs. All installed with tax and labour $1350 Cdn. Is it loud...yes, really loud...no. Not as loud as a harley or a 250 2 stroke race bike. Is there more power...yes, a lot more no. Overall I found the performance of the bike has increased. I really noticed it ripping through the bush. The extra power allows you to crack the throttle and wheelie over the puddles and ditches much like a 2 stroke race bike. The front end no longer has that mushy feeling and KLR dive. Instead the front end drops down and pops back up immediately. Overall a much stiffer and responsive ride. The progressive springs might also add to the ability to wheelie over the rough stuff. Am I glad that I spent the dough...yes, does that bike attract more attention crusing down the Highway and city streets yes, scare the hell out of the wild life and piss off the campers...I guess so. Do I hope that it will keep some gray hair from running me over....maybe. I contiue to enjoy biking my KLR and this help and informative newsgroup. Kent J Kelowna BC
