Thanks for the comps guys!
So I did have a chance to get out and ride this last Sunday. I can say it’s good and not so good….
The balance of the bike is great, definitely “feels” lighter than the KDX (not sure what the weight reduction actually is), easier to ride through the technical stuff than the KTM. As I made each consecutive loop I found myself less concerned with my lines, so it would seem that the suspension is at least in the ballpark.
With the RB carb mods, I have the 1/8-1/3 throttle bog when whacking the throttle with the bike on the flat… tried some different known setups including what RB sent without a cure at this point. On the trial when the motor is under load the bog does not exist… other than she feels just a tad lean, but even with that she would pull from virtually nothing to WOT without complaint. I would say that the head mods have really strengthened the low to mid torque, making the bike super nice in the technical stuff.
I have some jetting to get sorted out (after hand surgery that is) and have several things to try based on what others have found.
Currently:
PJ = 40
AS = 7/8 – 1.5
Slide = #7
NJ = JD red #5
MJ = 152
