Today we do a massive upgrade on our 1999 Rokon 2WD bike. We pull off the under powered Honda GX160 and install a new Wildcat 223cc from EC Carburetors. Before we install this engine we upgrade it with a billet rod that puts us at .000 deck on our piston, performance cam, PZ22 carb kit, 26lbs valve springs, and the charging system and flywheel from a DTV Shredder. We then build a custom stainless exhausts and take it out for a spin. This bike is amazing with the new engine. It is even copiable of doing 2 wheel spin outs!!! Check out the links below.

@whatsinanamethatthecaptive577 7 месяцев назад

I always thought that a higher RPM range (5 or 6k) would make the Rokon more "utilitarian". Not necessarily for 3rd gear top speed but for a higher speed range in 1st and 2nd so you don't have to change gears so much. @redbeardsgarage give us your thoughts on that. Thanks for doing this build. Great content. It would be interesting to know what the new speed range is in each gear, can you do that?

I also owned a Yamaha Grizzly 660 2WD/4WD/FRONT DIFFERENTIAL LOCK, a CVT with HI/LOW. I would take the slow King Quad over the comparatively extremely fast Grizzly any day! IMHO the King Quad was the best utility Quad ever made. It was also much much quieter than the Grizzly. It could poke through the woods slow in 1st gear LOW or SUPER LOW and be extremely quiet at a low rpm compared to the Grizzly that needs much higher rpm's to engage the 🤬 CVT even in LOW, forcing it to be much louder.
