Thanks, I like this a lot. Had not though of putting a block on the drill press table to locate the holes, I would have measured (I get it right most of the time..). As long as both...

Does it look like you would have cut the excess off if you drilled new holes? From what I remember the lug on the bottom of the shock mount is just a stop for the head of the mounting bolt. I'm not...

MegaDan,

While the stand is not solid like I read on another post re another bike, it would be correct to call it pipe, not tube... I didn't measure it either, but I think it matched some other...

Before I responded to them I looked up the parts, and saw that the caliper, hose and master cylinder was one assembly.

Venom did respond today. Please see below.

KPX Rear brake failure

Last night I was riding over to a friends house. I was going down a steep rutted sandy hill (what are called roads here) when I touched the back brake, and the brake pedal went to the stop. No back...

I didn't until just now. The photos pretty much show what you can see from the right side. I did pull the bracket off that holds the throttle cable, and removed the wheel the cable attaches to. The...

RE idle gulp adjusting screw:
Not finding it my kpx.

Mine is kinda jerky at low throttle too. I checked the plug and it is not a nice tan, it's white and too clean. Idles good. I haven't...

When I was putting my Templar X together, I noticed the dog bones are really simple, basically a chunk of flat bar with two holes, and rounded ends. I don't remember if longer or shorter is what you...

Went on a 150 mile ride yesterday. I'm really impressed with how comfortable this bike is. Also got 75 mpg with a mix of 40, 45, 50 and 60 mph roads (only about 10 miles of 60 mph). The suspension...

Punch worked just fine. I added a hair more than 1/4 inch preload, which helped the side stand be less spooky. A very short test ride, and I still think it's a bit stiff. I'll get a couple of ...

I went out and measured the sag. To my very (not) accurate measurements, I have about 4 inches of sag in the back, from back tire off the ground to me sitting on it. I think that's too much. It...

Thank you both for getting back to me.

Just picked up my new KPX Friday. I adjusted the preload out of the rear shock to get the height down a bit and to soften if up. Now the kick stand is almost too long, as I'm going to have to be...
