@@thesmoness I had one years ago on a YZ450 and it was mostly good. I remember it stalling on a steep hill climbing, the brakes wouldn’t hold the bike and because of the rekluse no engine braking so I started free wheeling back down the hill, it was freaking terrifying.
Really starting to get comfortable, engine is super smooth power but tons of it. I need more hours with it. I feel by about 20 hours I should be very comfortable on it. Took about that long on my Sherco 300 SEF 4T to get cozy. After this ride I set the suspension to Comfort for my latest ride and it was great felt very close to my XCW comfort level.
rekluse?
Yah I mention it in the video - my first time ever trying one out. Undecided if I will keep yet or not
