Havent rode mine yet, i have heard negative things and positive things. However im excited regardless.
I just want to be the safest i can, if there is anything that makes a drastic improvement for this model, and your either going to sell it or you have it and know about it i would like to know as well.
It sure doesnt seem like many people use this model and companies put it last on the list to make aftermarkets for, very little testing, and re-search seems like its gone into this for outdoor use.
Please let me know if you have any suggestions or parts.
interested in knowing what will malfunction and what normally wears, other than the typical, engine covers and what ever else.
please and thanks.

Remove judder springs from behind clutch plates. Improves clutch feel and action massively. No more creep or drag or flame outs in corners.
I suggest ride engineering front brake caliper also. HUGE improvement. Biggest single change ive made to a bike. Also installed braking pads at same time.
Having suspension revalved made a huge change also. Bikes incredibly plush and balanced now. I liked it stock but way more plush now.
Evo industries has the settings dialed for the suspension.
Other than that, nothing wears out lol. Im on my 3rd rear tire and other than oil changes and filters not a single other wear item. The steering stem came loose once which was odd. Took it apart repacked with grease and tightened back up. No issues there.
The bikes incredibly easy to ride smooth and fast. The way it corners, the way the engine puts down power its ridiculous. 3rd gear around most tracks and just be smooth. It's a fun bike to ride.
Everyone of my friends who rides it, enjoys it. They always come back impressed. Few simple tweaks and was night and day improvements.
I also installed pro taper evo bars. Oem husky bend way better for me. Might try the windham bend on it next. The stock bars were super low for me.
The Shop
$150 for linkage
$300 for wheel. Comes with 50 tooth sprocket, rotor, Michelin StarCross 5 with only 3 rides on it.
i do mechanic work on the side for some locals in my area, and unfortunately have yet got to ride the bike i have been very busy with getting their stuff together that i cant even mess with my own.
Hopefully soon ill be able to, i am interested in the pro circuit link.
I bought a kyb rear shock for the bike. and the guy who sold it to me said to run the stock link. so idk.
