[QUOTE="BSWIFT, post: 1260122, member: 16802"] Oldmaiconut gives solid advice. I bought a 426 and suffered the same issues coming off of a 2 stroke. The Rekluse is a pricey fix but it really works. A 52 tooth rear sproket seems a bit low for a track, even a tight one. Increase your idle speed and tune to get your best throttle response off idle. Learning to hold a small amount of throttle in the corners is just a technique that takes effort. ' IMO, the 426 pulls harder than the 450's. Having owned both, the 450 was more forgiving but still a handful for me @ 150 lbs. I put the Rekluse on my 450 to ride trails. The ability to lift the front wheel in any gear at any speed was amazing but the overall power and weight of the bike wore me out. The exhaust cam mod is great if you are having problems starting the bike but not a "have to" mod, only a $100 or so to do it. It only slightly reduces engine breaking(barely noticable) but makes starting simple. The 426 is a power house bike that some people will never get used to, not impossible but not a simple switch. Best advice is to tune and practice your technique. You'll enjoy the bike. [/QUOTE]
