    Bought a 13 TXC 310 and should be getting it next week. Bike will be used primarily for racing off road events. What items should be addressed first? What gearing gets the most out of the motor? I weigh 195, will stock springs work till I get a revalve next month? Sag setting????? Any problem areas that should be checked? I will be ordering a fuel tank elbow asap.
    Thanks

    We ran ours completely stock for the first few XC/GP races this year....expect suspension setup for rider. You should be able to get 100mm sag at your weight with the stock springs.

    Since then the only performance changes have been a full FMF system and dealer downloaded 'open pipe' map. It ran great stock and runs even harder now.

    Change the oil and filters religiously, keep the air filter clean and the bolts and spokes tight.

    We switched all of our 310s over to 10w40, soon to be 0w40 :)

    We are still running Torco Synthetic 10-40 in the 310, but have switched the 511 to Mobil 0w-40. We will likely switch the 310 and 449 also once we use the bottles of Torco on the shelf up.

    Interestingly, I also found out that Mobil1 0w40 is now oem specific for Viper motorcycles.

    Thanks guys!!
    How many hours/miles should I put on the bike before changing the oil for the first time? I also bought a PC racing stainless steel oil filter. Should I put filter in immediately or wait a few hours?
    Any idea if my FMF Powercore 4 muffler from my old 10 TC 250 will fit the new 310? My plan is to send suspension to Zipty after I break them in but was wondering if I should buy the Merge racing springs also. I have read some great reviews on them.

    A 60 weight oil is pretty heavy and you will get about 75% less bearing separation. The zero weight inital viscosity yields greater flow at start up and through out the warm up stage which will increase engine life. Motul 300V 5w40 is excellent and has less than zero viscosity at warm up.
