Going from a 2012 Honda 450X to this man I love the sound and it's so much easier to ride on the trail especially this kind of stuff but its just as powerful.
Glad you love the bike it's amazing. This was my first time riding the bike and the first time on these trails they are awesome can't wait to rip it again once the snow is gone.
In my opinion these are far different from carb bikes in the past. People still think they need to be warmed up like those bikes so they start the bike let it idle for like 20 seconds tops and then keep revving the engine repeatedly so the exhaust doesn't get full of oil and the spark plug doesn't foul. Again the TBI bikes are different they are computerized and much smarter. The bike takes into account a ton of things like engine temp, altitude, ambient temp ect. I've been warming this up just like a 4 stroke. Start it up don't touch the throttle and let it idle for a few minutes to let it get up to operating temperature. Once it's pretty warm just take it easy for the first little bit and then you're good to go. I haven't had any issues so far and won't be changing the method until I foul a plug. But again you shouldn't run into issues like that anymore.
Just tried to take it easy for the 1st 5 - 7 hours of riding it not revving it really high or stuff like that. Changed the trans oil out after the 1st ride (2 hours) and again after 7 hours it was dark both times.
Man at low throttle inputs it sounds so lean. When you get on it, it sounds fat but when putting and backing off the throttle it really sounds different than I'm used to.
It was my first time riding the bike and my first time riding these trails as well check out this video where I'm going a lot faster on a more familiar trail. I haven't rode a 2 stroke since probably 2007 and it was a 90cc Eton Viper ATV (one of my 1st videos on this channel) so I don't know any better for how its supposed to sound. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-PNG3HHopayI.html
