They are tons of fun huh? I raced harescrambles on a '96 KDX200 for a season - great bike. The KDX has a lot of low end compared to most small bore bikes (two or four stroke), but way less than a 600+ cc XR of course. Just wind it out a bit further and it'll move along very effectively. You shouldn't have visible smoke once its hot if you are riding it somewhat hard. Puttering around you'll get a little. The FMF Gnarly pipe gives it a bit more low end as well, but its still not going to be an XR600. Once you get used to keeping it spun up its a ton of fun. Don't be afraid of using the clutch - its ultra durable.

have fun!
