Default Public Safety Announcement: Engine performance optimization creates unsafe condition.

It has been reported to me that following my setup recipe for a full exhaust system + MCM, with an otherwise stock bike, will result in dangerous, triple digit, top speeds under two circumstances - (1) willful or (2) accidental application of WOT for an irresponsible length of time.

Don't try this at home - we are professional amateurs.

I can neither confirm nor deny that I may or may not have seen triple digits on my KLX with this setup (DJ2152 kit, 144 main, needle on top clip, full FMF).
Just saying...

Yes, I agree. And I support your position on this subject.

It is best to maintain a position of ambiguity on this issue, rather than providing details like level ground, 11mph tailwind, head tucked over the bars.. Ops, oh crap!

Stock tires
As Mr. Ripely would say, "Believe it or not!"

I too was a nonbeliever, drinking from a cup that runeth over with doubt and disbelief.. Then I placed my trust in the lord Dyno and became born again..

Well said Ray.. Your non sequitur invites pause to enjoy a moment of silence and reflection..
