[QUOTE="WoodsRider, post: 49999, member: 16545"] FC - Tex has some good advice, especially concerning clutch use and hills. Here's some things I do: 1)Ride a gear high. Due to the rapid throttle response, riding a gear high helps prevent that instant launch into a tree if you accientally twist the throttle open. 2) Blip the throttle. The engine speed I ride at is just before the powervalve opens, about 6500 on my GG. By blipping the throttle I keep the engine speed up and can have instant power when I need it. I prefer this method over fanning the clutch. 3) Use the mid-range and top-end power. The KTM200 does not have the tractor low-end of a KDX or your familiar XR. You will have to be in the mid-range to really power through obstacles. Keep the front-end light and set your suspension up accordingly. 4) Have the carburetor properly jetted for your conditions. The power advantage of a 2-stroke means nada if it's not properly jetted. Sluggish acceleration, plug fouling, spooging, overheating, piston scuffing/seizure are just some of the problems that can occur. ------------------ '98 GasGas EC250 '01 Sponsors: me, myself, I [/QUOTE]
