    when i bough mine, the owner had the valves adjusted mostly closed, all the time. this gave it brutal bottom and ok mid. it was jetted somewhat rich as well, it was quite explosive down low, with zero top.
    it can be set up different ways i suppose..i have it close to book spec, i kind of like having it very broad, and a little softer on the bottom. i can be more aggressive with the throttle down low if needed and it will still wheelie on demand of course. i actually run a flywheel weight altho im going to take it back again and try it

    Like it i tried closed and bottom meaty like but no top end, wire them open just with a ziptie on the top of pv cover to the valve arm and give it a try.
    Will try just one valve in i miss the abrupt instant pick up that the valves give me i know im not going to improve on the std setup but if i can get it to how i like it then im gunna try.
    Massive topend with valves open really made me smile, did the clutch actuator arm mod and yup clutch pull is very light but bite point is right at the furthest point will introduse more slack in the system as i find closer to the bars easyer to control.

    Graphics. Two problems.

    1: The headlight piece doesn't fit my headlight mask. I happened to have an older mask that I was going to use on my 610 that is the right one, so that'll work.

    2: WTF WHY ARE THEY BLUE/YELLOW? I (incorrectly) assumed the picture on the order page was just a generic color scheme for the new huskies and that since mine is an older one, the colors would have been correct. Boooooo.

    After a brief moment of hating these things, I decided to use them any way since they cost a grand total of $11 and technically that is what I ordered. (This company is a series sponsor and since I finished top 10 in points they were free, just had to pay shipping)

    Yea no, that's no good.

    Now this I can live with. I just vinyl wrapped the shroud for now, might see about getting some blue, white or black ones in the future if they are even available. Probably end up with new fenders too since they are pretty rough.

    *edit* I called the company to see about getting the correct headlight graphic for my bike and ended up ordering the shrouds/fender pieces to match these number plates. It just looks too incomplete as it sits.

    Had another nice ride back into the forest today. Lectron testing and then cleaned up this used Gnarly pipe and added a pipe guard.

    This is the Moose version, only came with 3 hose clamps :thumbsdown: used a heatgun and rubber mallet to shape it. The pipe was already scuffed and dented, so didn't mind pounding the guard on. Best part is now the dents are gone :rolleyes: Gonna get a couple more clamps and adjust all when I install it.

    Was about to start 'er up for today's ride when I thought, "...those dang bar risers!" PO was 6'3 and installed 1 1/2" risers and, like everything else he did, over tightened and bunged the nuts up. I picked up some ProTaper Wood Bend bars and Enduro Engineering 1 1/8 bar mounts and was waiting for G2 hand guards, but decided to swap the bar mounts for now. The EE bar mounts are 5/8 forward and 5/8 rise. PO said he got all the mods to the bike from EE including Rekluse, hand guards, rad guards and bar risers, but I don't see these risers on the EE site.

    The one upper right had to be PB blasted and set all afternoon before the bolt would come out. On the left are the real EE bar mounts, very nice :thumbsup:
    Rode with them this afternoon and much better for me at 5'11".

    :cheers:

    Had to tack some nuts to the remains of some broken disc bolts to remove them, Disc only has one ride on it so I know the bolts were tight so not sure what caused the things to snap.
    Next problem took much longer to resolve! Should I use the red and white one for the coming weekend race or the black and white one or maybe go for a good dose of monkey butt with the Acerbis ?:lol:
