[QUOTE="Patman, post: 1404284, member: 16962"] The RM is a fine bike for a few yeas, he'll out grow it soon enough anyway. My son loved riding his CR85 on similar conditions, maybe a bit more technical but the CR does not have a power valve and is known to a be a bit high strung. He came off of a XR80 that we ended up modifying pretty heavily and it's still a hoot but he would have killed that bike again (Rich built the engine twice) if he didn't have something he could really ride. Give him a bit of time and as he get's more comfortable he'll be glad he has a lighter and better suspended bike. No need for a bunch of mods, just ride it and keep it tuned properly. If the bike is near needing a rebuild it might be worth the time to have Eric Gorr do a bit of work on the engine. If you give hime the same info you gave us I am sure he can make adjustments to the ports / head / piston / power valve to make the bike even better suited to your son. That's what we did at rebuild time and went with a full super-mini build for woods and it was an amazing change. WAAAAY beteer money spent than on bling. [/QUOTE]
