[QUOTE="weimedog, post: 152946, member: 20655"] Going from a setup 2-stroke to an unfamiliar four stroke is a big change. That Yamaha will never feel the same as that KTM. Throttle response, engine braking, chassis, weight, location of that weight is ALL way different. My bet is the power characteristics will be the first hurdle. Chassis setup next. I also ride a big fourstroke in the single track. Took me quite a while to get used to the more abrupt delivery/trailing trottle transition. After developing a more quiet hand it was worth the learning curve as there are things the four stroke does better than the old two strokes I have owned. Things like going a gear higher than I would on a two stroke...let that four stroke chug in the tight stuff. I had to slow down to speed up in a sense. Give that Yamaha a chance. Look at the positives and see if adjustment is possible before giving up on it.:) Don't waste money on after market mods until you actually commit to learning that fourstroke beast. I love the guys who start by modifying the bike....got to modify the rider sometimes before working on the bike.:p It may be that you just don't like four strokes! Nothing wrong with that...that's why those new KTM's are being built. Just give that Yamaha a honest chance first. Don't try to compare it with the past. [/QUOTE]
