Yes. I rode it harder last week and found that it has broken-in sum. It is very fast as far as I can tell. First and second seem to really pull better than my YZ now and third is still a screamer. The bike shifts very smoothly and can flame out if you are not watching your throttle control.

The suspension is now a little suspect. In fourth gear the front end can get very unstable. You seem to speed up without really noticing it and if you come hard on the gas at speed the front end will lift enough to make the fork very light and a bit unstable. Maybe I was just riding a little tight and maybe the suspension is too new. The sag looked OK - within the limit in the manual. I will play with the sag and try to break-in the suspension some and then drain/re-fill the fork.

The shop just called and said my parts are in. Now I can replace the fluids and the filter. It's getting colder now so its not as pleasant out as when I ordered it but its still fun.
