[QUOTE="gnarlykaw, post: 695739, member: 23349"] ok, so the weather broke open, and the temp was above 45. I have been sitting on this bike in the basement for over a week, waiting, itchin to get it out and ride it. Ok, so, I am coming off a 01 KDX220R with ALOT of mods, and it screams, BUT, when it came to a hill, It fell short of my expectations. First off, i flooded it when I got to the park, but with the compression release, i was able to clear it out in a few kicks. ( i ran the battery down. ) once started, it runs lean at an idle, but after awhile of running, it wasn't so bad. A JD kit will be next on the list. :aj: THIS BIKE ROCKS!!!! :aj: The best way I could describe it to my wife was like this: It's like I had a cast on my legs, and not being able to do things other people could, THEN, i got my casts off. The bike has ooddles of low end power. it was VERY crisp at the throttle. i weigh 220lbs, and stand 6ft. IT FEELS LIGHTER THAN MY KDX!!! it is VERY tractable. LOL, I was doing 70, and still had ANOTHER gear to go yet! hows that for speed! It does feel narrow, but I think that is why it feels lighter to me. The seat may be hard, but the suspension is plush, and soaks it up. Usually I have my hands falling asleep when i ride the KDX, but today, I didn't have that problem. I did quite a bit of jumping also, and my back isn't freaked like it did after riding the KDX. coincidence???? I dont think so........... Don't get me wrong, I love the KDX still, but maybe I have moved up the ladder a notch, and this bike fits the bill. BUT, I do know, I will grab this one from home first! :thumb: [/QUOTE]
