[QUOTE="Lissa, post: 856205, member: 30656"] You don't have to go nuts with the engine mods. On most MXers used for off-road I find a simple final gearing change and a flywheel weight to be the most effective mods for tuning the power delivery. The suspension has loads to do with it as well. If your riding a bike that has suspension that is still valved for MX and are riding off-road it only will magnify the hit that much worse when the bike starts to deflect and kick around off of small objects like stumps, roots and rocks. Look into revalving the suspension for the terrian you ride on. I feel this is the single most important mod I do on any of my bikes. Another part of it is throttle control and using the clutch to help smooth the power delivery and find that traction point. I've ridden in some of the nastiest cr@p the ECEA East Coast Enduro series can throw at you. I've never felt that my bike ever lacked anywhere powerwise even on the side of mud incrusted mountains that were littered with rocks. Yes it has less bottom-end then a 450cc 4str, but It makes good useable power that can be tractable when I ride it that way. When I'm racing closer to home I use that healthy mid-range for what its worth since sand is forgiving. Part of it is bike set-up the other half is the rider and knowing how to use the bikes power most effectively. [/QUOTE]
