Red, i think ya musta got a lemon. :eek:
Or mebbe bigger bikes just arent your bag.
Like i mentioned in my previous post, i havent ridden mine in the woods yet, just on tight desert singletrack.
But i would just love to get this baby back home in the Pa. woods.
Honda sez it weighs 277. It doesnt feel like it.
Might feel heavy if ya weigh 150 or less, but if ya weigh in at 175 or above, no problem.
Overheat? I weigh 250, like to putt around, and ride NewMexico high desert.
If ever there was a recipe for overheating........ :confused:
Se runs cool as a cucumber, never floods, and usually starts in 3 kicks or less. (no "special" procedures required.)
Sounds like yours was jetted all wrong.
Suspention? They are supposedly sprung for a 160 / 185 lb rider.
It still does well for me. (beat you to death???) sorry, but no way. :think:
Admittedly, bikes like the KDX200, CRF250X, and WR250F are better choices for the woods (and still pack quite a punch for their size.) but the BigRedPig will perform remarkebly well in forest conditions.
If you still doubt it, ask a fella by the name of Scott Summers.
