Congrats man! Hope you like it. Set your sag at 100mm and I recommend 10 out of comp and Reb for forks and shock for a starting point.

I got mine Thursday and broke it in at the track Saturday and full send on  Sunday. Bike fell great, motor and gearing is great , it hauls but. Suspension , after they broke in felt plush after little dialing in. Over jump couple big jumps and suspension took it good on landing. I am so far really happy with the bike , I felt great on it , but it takes little time to get used to it , this bike feels different than any 450 I rode it ,

Bike is amazing. I am coming off the 2026 CRF250. It was really easy to turn, super stable, obviously the power felt amazing. The power is so linear and builds really nicely, it does not upset the chassis at all when you get on it, which I typically struggle with on a 450. The front end is so much more stable, no bound up feeling at high speed on chop. The front end is more vague than the previous chassis, but it still turns as well; so basically you get a little bit less front end feel, but it still turns as well and is more stable. I rode it at a sand track that does have some rough choppy areas as well. Lots of tricky deep ruts, just as easy to navigate those on the new 450 and my old 250. I am 160, Vet A rider, suspension was spot on once it started moving.

No decompression issues, started perfectly every time, but it did turn off a few times on the stand while idling before it was hot. Then it was fine the rest of the day, but I stalled it at the end of the day. I think the idle is a bit too low, anyone else have that issue?

Mine stalled a bunch at first on a tight turn track. Turned the idle up and bike did free up after an hour plus. Also found being that the gears pull so long not shifting up as quickly helped.
