don't ruin the dream !

 

I know, right? I want it to be true so hard!

 

I predict anything you glue on will be quickly thrown off, don't run without the case on or you could be hit with a high speed projectile.

 

Would it be possible to just put a KLX250R rotor on there? Would that make the change?

How hard is it to swap a rotor?

 

I hope to take it apart soon and have a look. The piece of metal needed would probably weigh just a few grams btw, not a lot of mass for Gs to be acting on. I have a piece marked off and it's very tiny

But I'll see about repositioning the rotor instead while I have it apart.

 

If this timing mod lets the engine rev/make power like mad it would seem to be in conflict with the cam mod that seems to sign off at 8000rpm or so.

Better try the timing mod first

 

There'd be a lot of oil slinging around if I ran it without the cover

 

5 grams at 7400 g's is almost 90 pounds of force. Use good glue - lol!

Good on you for giving it a go, can't wait to hear what you find.

 

Gluing is my last choice because if it's adhering strong enough to stay on at high rpm, it'd be hard to get it off, which you'd want to do eventually just to make it permanent and remove the failure risk.

I'll poke around in there this weekend since I'll be on my own and see what the options are. Maybe I can surprise that friend's kid's 2014 KX250F after all haha

So Bernie, are you saying that a lot of the gain showed up in the higher rev range as the engine revs higher and better than before the mod?

 

Here's a pic of the stator and pickup on one KF member's 2010 KLX



Not a lot of wiggle room for elongating the pickup coil's mounting holes-which on a 2007 are dimpled on the backside to locate it exactly in place when it's installed.



If I am looking at correctly, the pickup coil mount would have to be moved 3mm CC as you look at the backside of the cover.
