I'm just amazed at how much better the 09s must be.. You could get it straight up in 2nd gear. I can't even do that on my KTM 250

 

You aint never gonna get 450 powah outta yor 250.. Them things are up above 50hp now days..

 

No, my vid below is 1st gear wheelies..

Get the MCM done, your bike'll be a wheelie monster too..

 

Yeah, the combustion chamber is twice as big. But mines a slug. MCM is my last hope. Unless I'm overlooking another cheap mod.

That's gives me some hope that you were in first. If it had more pull right when i twist the throttle I could see it getting up. But my bike is lacking that immediate throttle response. It'll start moving immediately but the torque just isn't there. Takes a few seconds to hit around 5k before it starts moving half decent

 

Yeah, you'll certainly need to be running a higher starting speed than I was because of your stock cam timings. It is not out-of-the-question that, without MCM, the engine won't ramp-up TRQ fast enough to power wheelie - from any starting speed..

 

It seems to bog when I twist it from a stand still. Mcm will fix this yes? Only problem is I will start running out of torque at a lower rpm? Right now it seems like it starts running out around 9k

 

You are not overlooking any other "cheap mod" .. Once you are running MCM, DJ140/2N, lidless with the stock header and your FMF silencer, you have all the engine can give.. Add a powerbomb or megabomb, rejet to DJ144/1N, and you pick up a very noticeable increase from 6.5k to 10.5K rpm..

 

If you have a bog when snapping WOT from 3.5-4K then there could be something wrong with your fuel screw setting/pilot jet/pilot circuitry.. That system provides "bog mitigation" when snapping to WOT from low RPM..

If you have a bog when sitting still in neutral, you definitely have something wrong..

 

Ok. What idle speed do you suggest?

 

Spec idle speed is 1,300 +/- 50 rpm. A quote from IDRIDR on an older thread..
