Had a good ride. I never realized how hard it is for bikes to ride in the sand. I was all over some of the trails and washed out a couple times. I had the tires down to 18lbs, I didn't try any lower on my DOT knobbys. I have a new respect for all the dirt bikers that ride those trails out there.

I had some clutch squeal but I blame it on the royals synthetic oil, it does the same thing in my ktm powered polaris outlaw.

I bottomed out on some of the whoops. I'd get to about the third or 4th and it started bottoming. I backed the rebound adjustment back 2 clicks and it got better.

Overall it was a good ride and a good tuning tool.
