It said "go buy a new bike Dummy".
Meet BLUtus. Pretty weird stepping back from a 450 but this thing rips!

A lot of the setup tips I've found were from when the bike first came out but seeing as people have had the 2015 for a while now I'm curious if anyone has dialed in the hot setup over time. Sag at 108 and dropping the forks to from 4mm to 10mm made a HUGE difference. Anyone run their bars in the front mounts?

nice ride.
I spoke too

Nice, Insider!

I bet that thing is crazy fun. I'm thinking about picking up a decent used 250 or 300 XC for desert riding.

You should play with the rear sag, up and down, until you find the best "turning" feel.

i run them in the front mount holes too, always loved the open feel and at 6'4 having room to move is nice

ps. Nice buy, its a killer bike!

As much as I have reservations about buying an orange bike, I was seriously considering waiting for the 2016 350 but then I figured if I bought this one I could get back on the ol' new bike every other year schedule...
