I have a '98 I did pretty much all the same stuff to. I dropped from 14t to 13t on front and added a lectron carb. The consistency of the fuel delivery is amazing.

Not sure if you’re still checking comments on this video, wondering if the gnarly pipe gave you better grunt and less snap I guess. My 2000 has a stock pipe and I want to make the power more even pull though the power band in stead of so snappy and unpredictable.

@maxrc1912 7 лет назад

You have to try tubliss for the woods with that 18 you will love it, That and a flywheel weight and you wont believe how much traction you will have and no pinch flats or bent rims, you can ride on 0 psi with a 6 ply tire if you wanted to or got a hole in your tire and wanted to keep racing.

@Nicole.93 7 лет назад

What sprocket set up and fly wheel weight size do you recommend?

@cycledrag 7 лет назад

Believe it or not, the bike does not have a flywheel weight. I may try one eventually but I still love the MX-like Top End pull. For gearing I go stock front and one or two teeth up in rear.

@jasons44 6 лет назад

@efecan6504 7 лет назад

damn... its clear that you're a motocross rider since you care about aftermarket stuff like an fmf exaust, clutch cover etc, I have been riding enduro for about 4 years now so I am not that good. But there is one thing i know for sure and that is that there is a huge difference between mx riders and enduro riders. I have a ktm exc that i bought brand new and i have not changed enything since i bought it. the only things i have changed is my piston every 30 hour, oil every 30 hour etc and i have changed almost every oil/fluid on my bike every 30 hour which makes my bike a hell of a machine. we are not focusing on aftermarket exausts, graphic kits or clutch covers the real enduro boys are focused on riding a rock solid bike that can handle rough terrain!
