True Spode,
Thanks for the reply...I also forgot to ask if "anyone had problems with overheating in the slow, tight, gnarly stuff where ya gotta use the clutch a lot especially in the turns." There's some *rumors* of overheating in the stuff I ride in... heard that one dude uses some kinda blue(?) additive, water wetter and a *higher* pressure radiator cap which alleviated the problem.
I'm not really into riding MX tracks...Half a lap and I'm over the bars...hence the trails. Therefore not much wide open stuff ya know.
Good to hear its tractable in the slickery stuff! A friend added a Magura Hyd. Clutch to his '03 CR250 and now its buttery smooth...
BTW after this friend had wimped out half way up a long ugly hill climb he asked me to ride the new Honda for him. I thought okay shouldn't be too bad. As I turned it around after putting it in neutral, the rear felt like it had locked-up in gear. Boy was I wrong! I just discovered what REAL brakes are! HOLY SH!!TE...Same for the fronts... almost went A$$-OVER-TEETH as I rolled down hill. As I blasted up the hill the front just wants to keep wheelie(k)ing...heh... on me!!...And I'm STANDING UP and way over the bars no less!!! Now I'm thinking, "gotta get a Honda, gotta get a Honda"! Geez, my YZ is a POS! Maybe I shouldn't have hopped on the Honda?
Hey thanks again...
Terry
