How will the DK 700V kit affect the V-Force, will it help top speed?
The most common complaint we hear from KFX 700 riders is lack of top end, compared to some other race quads. Even though the V-Force has a huge weight disadvantage and it is shaft drive, etc, one of the biggest hold backs is gear ratio. Clutch components can improve and change the “rate of shift” during the clutching phase (until the belt is to the top of its travel), but when the belt is at the top of its travel on its front clutch, …. it is to the top. And although changing clutch components alone can have some effect here (top end) they are minimal and clutch components are mostly effective during the clutching phase. One of the problems faced here is that the clutching phase is over (belt is to the top of the primary clutch) on a V-Force in approximately 500 – 600 ft on hard pack surfaces. The DK 700V kit will grip the belt better and provide increased acceleration on both stock or mildly modified (pipes, air mods, jetting) models but gains on top end are minimal for stock models.
