Any one know what difference there is between V-Force and Boyesen Rad valve? Always had Rad valves, but V/Force looks a bit more interesting. Gona match it up with the FMF Gnarly.

V force is now on the ever increasing list. New rear disk comming tomorrow. The old one has worn out the middle of the contact area. Very weird! New wheel bearings and 46 tooth rear. The old sprocket was 42 tooth. Gonna take it up to mount Sommers on sunday try it out seriously. Thanx GDubb!

Timbowe,
  The stock gearing on the '92 is 14/47.  For general riding and tight woods I have been happy with a 14/48. The V force is probably the best reed for the KX. Cam.

My preference is the Rad Valve 100% over the V-Force on the big KX. Just from what I've experienced, the V Force gives little to nothing on top and boosts the low-mid range in numbers. The Rad Valve takes from the low-mid range and feeds it up top.... that's what I'm talking about. :-D

So I guess then all you have to decide is whether you want to be thrown on your ass as soon as you let the clutch out or when you're already haulin' arse!
