A closer look at the grab bars and plastics reveals a very similar design to the model but a change in color to metallic marble red is well received. The KFX Engine is a familiar liquid cooled four stroke V-twin, single overhead cam design with four valves per cylinder and wet sump lubrication. Also included are two Keihin downdraft carburetors and tuning designed to provide a wide torque curve for power across the entire rpm range. Who needs a motorcycle for raw power?!
An internal rear brake, stock inch tires, and the ring-and-pinion setup allow for more ground clearance. Many riders find the super-long saddle comfortable. Its handlebar bend feels good, and the relationship between the seat, handlebars, and footpegs makes for pleasant long rides.
The V Force offers additional ground clearance over a chain drive — a plus when it comes to roughing up the quad. Very few 2WD machines get off-roaders to where they want to go, provided that the intent is not to grow wings on the vehicle and fly through the woods. Acceleration-wise, it will hang its competition for a little bit but will eventually get passed by.
Cons: Enthusiasts wish for a more traditional engine braking system that would halt the four-wheeler without engaging the throttle.
This change would be advantageous to nouveau riders, who may find it challenging to apply the gas while going down long descents. Although it was marketed as a pure-sport quad, some riders find it a little too heavy for the sport category. Not to mention it gives off a lazy handling vibe due to its bulkiness. The absence of a digital dash meter is an issue, compelling owners to buy aftermarket Kawasaki KFX parts to fill in the gap. Top-end speed is not the best in its category.
Because the quad is fully automatic, it does run out of gearing, especially against manual-tranny four-wheelers that can still pull RPMs in 5th or 6th gear. A three-phase A. Front Rim Size 10 x 5. Frame Type High-tensile tubular steel, double-cradle Caster, Trail 4.
Flimsy Parts According to KFX owners, tires, CV boot, steering stem, and taillight are some of the stock parts that need immediate replacement as they are weak. Premature Wear The same goes for parts that are likely to wear out prematurely, such as intake valves, front bumper mounts, and swingarm bearings. Other Problems The stock suspension is too stiff. The steering hoop bends easily when the four-wheeler rolls. Shifter keeps knocking out of gear even after proper adjustments.
Adjusting the valves to the higher number in the range results in a ticking noise when the engine starts. The water pump drive shaft gets pitted due to mechanical seal failure. Engine pukes gas out the overflow tube due to incorrect float height setting or worn float needle valves. The brake light switch on the front master cylinder shorts out and causes the main fuse to blow. The Roll-over sensor is non-functional and better off bypassed a Tip-Over Switch Eliminator will get the job done.
I must say the plastic does seem to break very easy! Mine has been broke by sticks being tossed up from the tires. It is still a blast to ride. Ha Ha your all ers buying one of theses junks although they are good for beginners. Good luck in last place. Aftermarket parts are plentiful and reasonably priced..
For all out racing I believe the Raptor will make the statement.. Like I said the KFX is more bang for the buck. I would never buy any other bike ever. It was worth all the money i paid. The plastics on the new kfx are extremely brittle and if it rolls over say good bye to all the plastics It is not the fastest, or most explosive , but it is smooth and very fun to ride.
