Thanks man. I appreciate the kind words. That means alot to me. :hb:
So 2T and I took his KTM 300 and the KSM out today for a good test of what the KSM could do. My shattered nerve, that bike is SICK !!!!!!!! The only thing that I can think of that resembles the TS is the plastics and the seat, that is it. It is WAY better. I could enter an uphill corner slowing down in third, roll on the throttle as I apex, the KSM will go from a deep growl to start to build RPM and speed, then I can open it a bit more, start to hit the power valve, dig in the rear tire and exit in as big of a chewie as I want :hf: And that is while still hauling my 220 lb + gear frame around.
And no vibes, it is sooooo smooth. A bit on the bottom end but you never stay there for long
No vibes in the feet or the hands. When I test rode a 640, it vibe'd more in the feet then the KSM does. My gearing is a bit high though (14/40), so I am going to drop it down as it is not in a happy place in the bottom end of first. No biggie, one tooth down on the front to a 13 will solve that, and I will keep my 14 for when I do my travels and long distance adventures.
It was such a good ride today that I had the gopro on a chest mount and totally forgot to turn it on. I found myself smiling for kilometres at a time !!! And I will need some more trail / bush time. The corners come up way quicker now :spl:
And again, my thanks to 2T for all his help.
Now to ride and get some footage, when I remember to turn on the gopro :tup:
