Not quite in sync LC, I think you need more oil

The power delivery is different and not as lively as the 2T but seems plenty once I found a sweet spot

I wondered about that when you posted. I suppose your going for smooth and fast as opposed to those of us who just like to get our jollies by opening up the tap. I kinda miss the red spring :whistle:

Problem is you were already smooth and fast Mal, bastard Will be interested to hear your thoughts once you get it dialled in.

I reckon you will get used to it very quickly Mal. You wont be able to blip yourself out of trouble as quickly as you could on the Gasser but you are more into line selection than muscling yourself over stuff anyway. I can’t wait to read a few ride reports once you get it dialled!!

Enjoy.

p.s Our avatars are in sinc. Everytime your guy pushes the beer away the Hippo slaps him :laugh:

Yeah I was playing around with blipping the front up yesterday and you’re right it doesn’t come as quick or easily. But we did a couple of snotty tracks with some rock steps and I managed ok. Once I get used to the motor and bloody engine braking it’ll be great to ride.

HA HA synced avatars are cool. LC’s does need more oil Squiggle. :laugh:

Very cool bike Mal. Looked great in the flesh too. I’m sure you’ll make us all look clumsy as when it’s all set up and you’ve got some hours on it.

what did you think Mal, i was very impressed with the whole package .I didnt notice the compression braking that much notas bad as a YZ 450 i rode the other week where i went over the hangers when i backed off.
the fella that come with me was on a 300 gasser and i give him a good go on our demo he loved it

I’m really impressed with this bike after the weekend. While it’s not rip your arms off super exciting power it still has more than enough for the type of riding I like.

I did 50km in Sunny Corner on Saturday with LC and we rode a mix of nice flow pine singles, rocky fire trails and some open fire trail. I lowered the bars that night to feel more comfy and it worked a treat on Sunday.

Sunday was a grade 3+ at Ben Bullen that had some rocky technical stuff and 50km of singles. Everyone (except LC and me) were complaining of sore arms so the suspension is close. A new rear spring and a new set of tyres will get this bike very close to been sorted.

Not sure Pete. I’ll wait til I get a few more rides on the 4T. I ride with the Gasser owner every week anyway so if I do miss it I’ll just jump on it and go for a ride.

They are both good to ride in different ways though. A local snotty ride and a Murphsberg will give me a good comparison.

Hey young Mal
I’m in Neeeelson, NZ, at least thats how they pronounce it.
Seems like there is a whole lot of riding, untouched over here.
:ohmy: :ohmy: :ohmy: :ohmy:
A hell of a lot of private stuff but some good forests between it.
I don’t think endeuro X has much influence over here but the potential is unreal. :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

Going Downtown :whistle: :ohmy: :laugh: :pinch:
Cheers
Murph

I got a new bike too!

2013 Berg 450, it steers, stops and goes heaps better then my 2010 Berg.

No pics, I can’t be bothered. If you want to see it you have to come on a ride with me.

[Nathan HeatherMember]
