I have ran c12 a lot but the 2 strokes gain even more power with the oxygenated fuels. May try the mrx02 fuel but 135 for 5 gallons is steep lol

That HGS pipe looks so nice. Any plans to sell the FMF system?

Yeah I think it was , only a few laps in and it did that . Suspension feels way better now and less harsh going to mess with clickers some and dial in but way better then stock

On my 350sxf my bars always felt a little low, like when I stood up on the bike... so what I did with the handle bar clamps is raise them up 5mm with a washer from Kawasaki and man did it change everything it changed it and made it ten times better.

I don’t know if you have this problem I know your a tall dude so I figured I’d let you in on that if your of interest I can get you the kawi part number

Yeah I'm gonna try and ride some more this year , and I ended up going with a renthal 997 bar and the rise in the bar feels really good now without any risers.
