[QUOTE="MIKE, post: 100054, member: 16809"] Hey firecracker, Mike here in colfax, Go ahead and try the bar position changes, and cut them narrower for sure, do a few push ups...measure the width from outside of each hand. this would be your ideal bar width, unfortunately most bars are limited on the amount you can cut off by the amount of area you need for the controls, don't cut off more than a 1/2" on each end or there won't be enough room with your rally 2's. As far as the seat goes, get some padded riding shorts for under your riding pants, the bicycle ones are OK but the motorcycle padded shorts have alot better padding...you will get used to the seat and it will help if you stand more... as much as possible, you are still getting used to sitting "on" a KTM instead of "in" the XR. Don't get in a big hurry to make alot of other changes yet, much of about what you don't like is the fact that it's a different bike, doesn't turn the same and it has more power... you have to hold on better now and it takes more strength. As far as not holding on with you legs, try not holding on through a fast whoop section, you might find youself on your nose. Hold on tight at times and not so tight..or at all at other times, the faster you go the more you will have to hold on, hold on from the sides of your feet on up. Set suspension the best you can for your weight. Ride, ride, ride, and all will be good, it just take time. MIKE 2000 KTM 300MXC eastern wash. [/QUOTE]
