I got used to the rocks, although it took a while. Now I am only trying to avoid the larger rocks, and those in turns.

Yes. For low-speed tracks with a lot of available traction the stock gearing would of course be better. With the stock gearing, grabbing a handful of throttle at low speeds is a equivalent of revving up an IC engine and dumping the clutch. If the track requires such explosive power, then yes...

12/45 Funny, I have only been running Map 2 at this track. If I use Map 4 then I have to manage the rear traction more and watch not to overjump half of these jumps. Sometimes carrying the momentum and keeping it wide open is easier, faster and more fun.

Definitely in April, but it could be much sooner. I am working on this.

I need to try a chin mount or a chest protector mount for my GoPro. The under-the-visor mount makes it look like the track is as flat as Iowa. Also, need to review my resolution.

Not sure how this could help you or your suspension guy. My setup sheet is meaningless if used on a different suspension. Your EXR has a different fork, but even if you had an MXR, you would still have to ship your suspension to KTM World.

Here is my setup sheet. Ignore the 66 N/mm spring rate, they are crazy. My current sag is 90mm. And this is an MXR, not an MX.

The gist of this post is that I just installed and tested an MXR suspension revalved by KTM World in Georgia, tested it twice this weekend, and it is now my most favorite Alta suspension by a large margin. I am very happy! :ricky: If you want to know more details, keep reading. I am not a noob...

Swap it, it will become more stable. Let us know how it feels. I have been over-tightening the steering stem nut as a poor man's steering stabilizer. This helps a lot in eliminating the headshake and being able to ride more relaxed.

Do not mix offset and trail. The offset is the distance between the steering axis and the center of the front wheel. The trail is the distance between the steering axis and the center of the front wheel's contact patch. Here are some reference links: Bicycle and motorcycle geometry -...

No, with the front axle in the most forward position the offset is the largest, but the caster trail is the shortest, and the bike is set up for cornering ease rather than a high-speed stability. Like Tuner said, more offset = less trail = less stability. And vice versa.

Looks pretty simple. Find a green ground wire and connect it to the plug's ground terminal. The other two wires should be connected to the round pins, the polarity shouldn't matter.

The other way around, if the offsets are 22mm stock and 18mm optional.

You take the triple clamps off the bike. Then, I think, you flip the eccentric steering stem washers around, and bam -- a different offset. So, if the stock offset is 22mm and the other offset is 18mm, then the optional offset creates a longer trail and more stable steering, right?

I played with the rear sag today. I ran 102mm sag before because all the tuners recommended 100-105 mm sag. I was unhappy that the bike was understeering mid-corners. To my shame I have never played with the sag before on any of the bike's that I owned. I kept hearing the advice to play with...
