Message: [QUOTE="the Eel, post: 158281, member: 19952"] Al - I rode Saturday at between 2000 to 4000 feet elevation. Temps around 80 to 85. The 410 was OK but the 390 main was much better. Excellent in fact. I may try the 400 just to be safe (don't want to stress the bike too much). I climbed some big hills and the little Husky did pretty well. Do you run a 110 or 100 size tire on the back ? I run 110 but am wondering if the 100 might be better. I am going to try the 30 pilot as the low end bog is just plain annoying. The 35 is in there now. On another note - the shock settings are really hard to nail down. The back end pogos pretty bad at hi speed through whoops. I got thrown off the bike because of this. It freaked me out. I now have the rebound full soft, the HSC full soft, and the LSC full hard. Seems OK but I will need more time to sort it out for sure. I have read that the Sachs shock has very, very slow rebound characteristics overall. It was recommended to go almost full soft on rebound to keep the bike from kicking like a rabid mule. Those comments seem to be on target, as I learned first hand, and rather painfully. I have varied my mix ratios quite a bit as this is my first 2-stroke. In other words I haven't paid much attention but it is usually 40:1 or 32:1. I will look into your recommendation on full synthetic. If I can get rid of the low end bog and sort out the shock, I will be very happy with this bike. Thanks for the all the help. [/QUOTE]
