Took the KDX200 out last evening for its first ride with the new HPSD installed. Bike is noticeably less twitchy on the sand roads....just like the Scotts on the KLX450. Once I got onto the snowy, muddy, slippery trails, I couldn't detect much difference.
Now, the Honda owners manual for the CRF450R says to ride that bike for one hour to break in the steering damper before making any adjustments to it. I was able to ride for just one hour before the sun went down yesterday, so now I can start playing with the damper's adjustment knob on the next ride.
So far it's done to the KDX exactly what the Scotts did to the KLX. I'll let you know my final thoughts as soon as I get some trial-and-error adjusting and riding done with it. All I can say at this point is I'm not disappointed, but not overly impressed either. (I'm not overly impressed with the Scotts, either)
