I have just got back from a couple of short rides on the 02 520. Bike is great but not too sure about the ergos - or should I say the fit of rider to bike. The bike is slim through the middle and I have the pleasure of being slightly bow-legged. This makes it difficult to grip with the knees and this is of importance when there is 50+ hp on tap.

As I was adjusting the levers etc, I noticed that the pegs are higher (in relation to the ground) than what the KDX had. My question is: Has anyone moved the pegs and what, if any, effect ddi it have on the handling? It seems that it must affect the leverage ratio when transfering weight from one peg to the other.

I think I will have to get a new seat with higher foam and revised gripper placement than the factory. Maybe this is all I need and I won't need to move the pegs.

Also has anyone changed the stock gearing? I am thinking 1st is too high for tight slow stuff.
