    I rode my 300 again Wednesday and had a much better time . Leaner pilot and better technique on kicking and starting is not an issue

    Getting used to riding and using more of the power . I got a bit of arm pump on throttle side but once that was gone it was good ( I think it was tight armour strap )

    Its harder to ring it out between corners but it is faster up hills ( than 125/165). Not as much control on front yet though . I want to be able to use the top end
    - that where the fun is .
    If I am not up to it then it will be back to 250 cc or a 165.

    Moving forks back down to 10mm and softening clickers has helped but not there yet.
    I think a damper would be good or maybe flex bars to top it off.
    Overall suspension is better suited to my weight than 125 was.

    I changed clutch lever to ASV and it seems to be easier pull now . May try re routing cable to left side . Fully drain down lubing it helps . Not sure if there is a cleaner you can use to remove some of the old cable gunk first?

    Got to open it up fully on a dirt road section and power is good more not over the top by any means. Does have quite a nice top end . Mikuni works well.
    Spark plug looked a bit light after that so may go back to 430 . But generally its still very dark brown to black .
    Not sure right now if need to go back up to 35 pilot from the 30.

    One thing is good - I don't need more power - I just need to work on bike control and comfort. ( well for now anyway :D)
