    Tecate Enduro practice, this is one of the more rocky trails we have along with overgrown bushes. My arms were bloody with scrape/scratches, that first hit really whacked my left. As usual most of those rock section are sharper/steeper than they look here. Before the fork mod trails like this were impossible for me ride under control, Im just hitting stuff square on and mostly going straight now, before I would have been thrown right off the trail. we only did 25 miles...

    looks completely different.... seems like the rebound is different because the front is bouncing back up like it was in the first video

    funny I thought the visual would be more noticable, and I guess because its not flailing me all over the trail it is. the feel is 10x better and it just floats over those sharp rocks now

    I forgot mention I still need to get my feelers correct for the header section of the pipe. My FMF gnarley is up at pacific crest pipe repair and when I got back to the truck my oem pipe was really dented and my CF cover has a big chunk blasted out of it, I dont even remember taking that hit....

    Today i was pinning the thing out in the more open single track, ( plus I had this dang kid who hauls ass right on my rear wheel pushing me) that stuff there is so freaking hacked with loose rocks any RPM has the thing totally unsettled, that's why I like the 300, lug up a gear very soft rev the thing and its nutty fast. side note at 41 miles I went on reserve, I got back to the truck at about 50miles with a quart or so remaining. So at best 50 miles can be done with my current carb set up.

    I could totally tell it looked different... mostly on rebound but that could've been it blowing they the stroke and coming back up fast

    Im still getting used to the machine, but today in our regular area I was feeling her big time...very happy. Just a couple little tweaks but I'll wait until I re install the FMF Gnarley with the Turbine core 2 muffler which is base set up. I want just a little smoother transition onto the pipe, not too soft she needs to be burley, but with just a smoother pull from lugginto pipen it.

    Many. Too many.
    Props to you. Our opinion of "fun" is different, I'd smile as I sent my enemy down those trails!!!

    AHHHRGG! THAT F*****G HURT! Haha lol. You are a badass!

    Too much racket from the chestmount! At first I thought it was constant brush pummeling, I was relieved to hear it in the open as well. You guys are crusty.
