[QUOTE="mxbundy, post: 528385, member: 21862"] enmerdeur, I never said that the bike was not confidence inspiring our that it handled bad. The suspension action and handling are not the same. I personally like my bike, I like the way that it handles, and I like the way that it fits my 6'4" frame. Much better than my Yam. bikes. I even like the way it corners ( once I got a stiff enough rear spring ), some guys have to go to aftermarket clamps before they are happy. But the suspension just is not as plush as my Yam. bikes. I have the unique advantage of being able to ride them and compare. And to even the score the 400 Yamy and the 400 sx were done by the same company. And there is no comparison. The Yam is down right plush with excellant bottoming control. The sx has good bottoming control but is really harsh. But I think that the problem is in my SIZE! The Yam. and there linkage can better accomadate my size and abillity level. Can a KTM work for someone who is a normal size rider, absolutly! Which brings us to 426pilot who is above average in weight. But he may be able to dial his in because he is on the cuff for the available spring rates. Now with that said, suspension is a very personal thing. What works for one rider may not work for another. And for this reason I suggest that he do his homework and work with a shop that is into the type of riding that he does. Some shops are good at mx but maynot be the best choice for offroad. And this is the mistake that I made. Can my bike be made better, absolutley, but do I want to sink another 600 to 800 bucks in it, no! bundy [/QUOTE]
