Thanks!

My KLX never came with that warning sticker?

We should start a help group!

Yup, if it will get me a dyno close to yours.....I wonder how the FCR will do.

What performance gains are really to be had with the ceramic coatings?? Real World on a little motor like this.


Edit: You may want to ask John if it is ok to post those ported head pics ..... sometimes those porting people want to be secretive about that stuff.

I think the carbs will be close to the same on the dyno? Maybe on the trail could be different. I know the throttle response and quick revs are great!

As far as the ceramic coatings, I feel ever little bit adds up? The piston coating may not improve performance, but it has to help with durability. The exhaust coatings help with scavanging and keeps the heat of your leg and motor. It seems to work pretty good for me?

I talked with John before I started posting so everything is good, he doesn't seem to be like that type of person. I have dealt with people like that before, just in it for the glory & $$$, not here to help the average joe. John's here to help!

Mine always asks "Why can't you just leave it alone?"

I always have to play and tinker with something.

Gonna hafta kick the dead horse again. I think these results further support using motard or fairly smooth rubber for superior hook-up on the dyno drum. It would be a stretch to attribute all of the results to that, but I'm sure it didn't hurt anything.
