Hey guy just got this bike. rode it briefly on a grass track. any tips on sag, suspension or engine?
Stock suspension rocks...spring it for your weight...and dial it in with the clickers.
If your ride on public land you’ll need a spark arrestor (FMF Turbine 2)...if not, stock works great.
Buy a pipe guard if your ride near rocks.
Rather than motor mods...and unless you are a fast A rider or pro...spend the money on a riding school...improving technique will make you faster than more horse power.
Just my .02
To be completely honest though, you could throw on a skid plate, not touch one thing, and still absolutely love the bike. One of the most versatile platforms available right now and generally very reliable. Congrats on the purchase!
The Shop
So for moto/tight trails you might be right and starting at 100 might be a better spot.
1st and 2nd trans gear the same, 3rd, 4th and 5th different. Tank stickers different and X has 18 inch rear wheel.
Love mine!
Get sag close. Play with clickers. Jet as needed. Everything else is just personal preference. The bike comes race ready in my opinion.
Edit: Only place I'd prefer the stock 25mm offset is on sand.
Pit Row
Probably the only downfall is the size of the stock tank.
Other than that I love mine.
