    I'm currently running the stock gearing @ 13:52. First gear feels a little bit too low. :confused: Suggestions & feedback?

    Cheers! :cheers:

    13/50??? drop 2 teeth out back get er to be a little more smooth for your taste, 2 at a time incremental is good step.

    I rode BMP Bill's FE250 a few weeks ago here in our tight single track woods and found the gearing to be pretty on point. I spent most of the time in the more open sections in 2nd/3rd and it was nice to have 1st to drop down to for the tech sections. I spend most of the time in 1st/2nd on my TXC250.

    I like it. :thumbsup: It really shines in the single track snotty stuff. :applause: And when you do want to crank on it, you will be pleasantly suprised. I added a Scotts steering stabilizer (under the bar mount), and I had Race Tech do the suspension for me and it works well. Purchased it new from Manchester Sports Center in CT.
    Actually, the harder and faster you ride it, the smoother it gets! :banana:

    We just picked one up this past weekend. Still very new so the power isn't as good or it just me riding a 300-350 4t. Overall it handles good and clean FI mapping. It runs hot, fan is always on so maybe a re-map is coming. The rider is young and inexperience so no major mods just yet. Also couldn't beat the price!

    Lol... Thought the same, but the 15 look is growing on me, I do like the 14 headlight/fender brace look better

    At least the graphics are molded in so you can just overlay new ones.

    Anyone updated the mapping? If you did, did you need a different exhaust?
