Hi all. Today was a beautiful spring day! Time for a ride, put 20km. On
My bike, installed the 17 tooth sprocket (still haven't got my jets yet).
Rode some side streets, got it up to speed, I can tell the difference just
From the 17tooth. The gears wind out more, first is good for more that
1.897654 mph! Helps in the trails better. Rode some power lines, and some
Pretty decent short hills in the woods. Stock tires SUCK in anything that
LOOKS like it MIGHT be sand! Or dirt for that matter, I gotta get nobbies!
Bike is not so nimble on tight single track woods. bike is tall and weighs
165lbs more that my 5,7inch me😟 I'm thinking 43 tooth rear,maybe
A little smaller 41? And I should be ok. One thing I'm noticing is
Engine braking. My first 4 stroke, always had 2 stroke, with this bike
As soon as you roll off the throttle, the bike wants to slow down. Seems
As you can't coast in gear. So your always either accelerating,maintaining
Speed or slowing down. And if you chop the throttle at higher rpm's
It's a very Noticeable. ( ever drive an electric car? Like a tesla sport car)
Anyway I had fun.
