After a few rides on my 17 TC 250, I want to make the power more usable (vet intermediate MX skill level by the way.)
To me it feels like the bike hits hard, a little late, but then it's just done..... and that's even after being on a 125 for the past season I'm hoping to trade some of that mid hit to get it on the pipe earlier and smoother, and ideally get some more over-rev. I already went to a 49T rear to get longer pull.
From reviews it looks like PC and FMF both build power a little lower so that the hit isn't as pronounced, I was just wondering if anyone could share their observations of either pipe? I don't want to go full-on trail with the Gnarly because I still want top end.
Also... has anyone tried the green powervalve spring? I know it only makes a difference above 5500 RPM, so it isn't going to give me what I want, but I'm thinking a longer powervalve opening window may make that upper power more usable? I've been playing with the yellow one in a few different spots, currently I'm at about three turns in.
Oh... and I don't like flywheel weights, and I tried the mellow map but I felt like it took away too much bottom end. So really just looking for thoughts on pipes? Thanks!
