Just got the bike. Want to set it up for tight woods. Lots of steep hills, roots and rocks. Very few fast sections or whoops.
First gear seems too tall for the riding I do. It has 13/50 on it now though. Will I have chain guide issues if I go lower?
Jetting recomendations? I'll be riding around 800 feet above sea level. Bike has a fmf fatty and I plan on putting an FMF Q silencer on it.
I would like as much flat protection as possible from rear tire. Any problems with a tire larger then stock?
I have read that this bike has good low end already, and the brief ride I did on it felt good. I am going to do a top end anyway since I have no idea when it was last done. Anything I should do while in there to make it better? I plan to add FWW.
Any recomendations for getting the suspension done? Someone near Portland OR would be best but I'll go somewhere else if I will get better results.
Overall, is this a good woods bike if set up? I've thought about trading it in on a new 04 KTM 200SX I found for 3999 instead of dumping money into an older bike. Not sure it if the technollogy has improved that much to justify it though. I kind of suspect the old Honda suspenion is still at least as good as the latest WP stuff.
