Bought a 18FC450 and rode it for the first time yesterday, the motor lacks bottom end compared to my 17 450sxf. Im going to change the gearing to 14/52, then maybe look at pulling the spark arrestor out of the muffler if possible? Otherwise maybe look at purchasing an aftermarket slip on.
Has anyone drilled holes in there airbox side plate?
The power on the husky is almost to smooth. I found myself using 2nd in corners which i never had to do on the ktm. I don't mind loosing top end power, I'm more of a lugger.
Any other mods?
