[QUOTE="proecadgod, post: 1400911, member: 120445"] Update: Week three: Wow do I love this bike! I have to admit it was so easy to ride at first and it just keeps getting better all the time. Thing I love most about the 4 stroke is the low end power coming out of corners. I've been practicing with a guy who rides a 06 CR250R and he has a pipe kit, exhaust and some other stuff and he starts to pull away on the straights, but out of the corners I pull ahead. Also hitting a jump out of a corner is easier with that low end too... Now I'm on track with my training and I'm out riding again. Only problem now is the suspension. It is set up for a much lighter person and right now I'm about 195 and the bike is difficult on braking, jumps, stutters and woops. If I remember correctly stock RMZ 250's are basically set up for a 160 pound person so its going to very very soft for a guy my weight. So to fix this I'm brining my suspension to Factory Connection in New Hampshire which is about an hour away from my house. Steve at FC recommends a .45kg to .46kg up front and a 5.4kg to 5.5kg in the back, plus a revalve. This he says will make a huge difference in the way the bike performs... I guess I'll find out next week. [/QUOTE]
