Too bad your are so far away, I would be willing to set up a 1M for you. I have $2k in pipe setup, fuel pressure regulator and Timbersled intake, egts. Also have a few extra bucks put into my trinkets, clutching, venting and egts etc etc. Ive been able to get my 09 1M to run very solid to open a few eyes. Like I said theres nothing wrong with a KK. What I have found tho is these 1M's are coming from AC still very detuned to meet emission standards and such. I couldnt believe once I got mine out of the crate and "apart" the things that "needed" to be done to get the potential out of it. I have an 06 m7 -900 big bore that has way to much money into to make it run strong. This 1M Ive got has pocket change into comparably and outruns the big bore night and day. Yes money is needed to make the KK go. A buddy of mine has a real gooder. but it has the money poured into . He recently bought an 08 1200 and now ill barely ride the KK. Unfare comparison there but he was totally taken by how the M-series handled and now hes hooked. Cheers
