If you want to build a torque monster, do everything that Alex (Alward25) recommends and... Drop your port timing.
You will loose on the top but you will gain it on the bottom.
And, Alex and I are working on a special set of drum valves to get all that top end back and still keeping the major bottom end improvement from dropping the port timing. Sorry, they are not available yet but we are working on it.. sorta..

Also, get a 38mm Quad vent air striker... more instant throttle response throughout the rpm range, and 1 hp gain to the rear wheel.

I didn't re-read the entire thread but a woods pipe also helps out..

A auto clutch is also a cool woods option...

Of course there is also the big bore option  :-o

But pulling stumps and towing tracked vehicles out of mud holes isn't for everyone  :lol:

Is anyone making an auto clutch for the 500 anymore?  I'm asking for a friend.  :-D
Perhaps I have a dirt bike addiction?

These guys have them, for $925.   :-o

I think I am going to try stock springs in mine.  I thought I was just going soft until Danger came over, tried my clutch, and said, "d**n, that is hard to use!".  It made me feel a little less girly.   :-D

I'd call Revloc..

Blaster means Rekluse, and the Recluse is in the R&D phase right now.  AFM makes one right now.

I love the Rekluse in my 250, but it would really kick butt in a 500. How far out are they?

Tom over at Enduro Pilot said the Revloc's only real drawback is they dirty the oil quicker than the Rekluse, and the parts are getting harder to find.  I think they're only available new (not NOS) from Australia I think. I have an AFM in my KDX, and its only real drawback is the lack of a clutch lever. A Rekluse would be better in my opinion.

The big question for me is can the Rekluse hold up to 70hp at the rear wheel and remain reliable...
Any thoughts?

I'm not sure how they will do it. Maybe thinner plates so they can get more in the basket?

I spoke to EFM and they will make you one e for $650.  Just gotta send a basket to them and then you need the Billet clutch cover spacer I've seen floating around the forums or on the Facebook KX Guru page. Don't remember how much they were asking...?
