Have you heard all the complaints about this bike for the woods? Too powerful? Too tiring? Too big and bad? Harder to control?etc.
Well, how about some solutions. Especially from those that ride this bike in the woods effectively and have great fun. (I'm thinking of getting one, and kind of want to make a a big contrast to my other bike, an exc 200.)
If throttle control is difficult on gnarly trails in the woods with a 520, or 540, how about a throttle limiter for that kind of riding. Something you can take on and off the bike for the particular riding you want to do. Wow. Wouldn't this make it a more versatile bike? Kind of like giving you and EXC 400 and 520 in the same bike. They do weight the same. Is this an answer, or just a stupid idea.
trailrider.com has a good test on the 02 520 in the woods, and they compare it to the 400. THEY LIKE THE 520 IN THE WOODS! It's under the column new machines. Here's the link. I hope it works:
