Those things are practically unrideable, too powerful. They get hosed buy the thumpers in MX. The only place the 500s dominate is desert racing and even there the thumbers have been beating them lately.All I can say is that you must have one big set of balls to ride one of those.

Pick it up tomorrow Do they come with training wheels FPV TRANNY ........are you still with us??←When I picked the bike up I had a chat with the dealer about future mods. No shortage of money to spend on things such as exhausts, K&N Filters and the motorbike equivilent of the edit etc. Here we go again. BTW the power / torque these things have is awesome and needs to be respected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen it done more than once and every time meant valve failure within one or two rides. Dust is a big problem in OZ and the most important thing you can do is use a top quality, twin element, foam filter. Unifilter, no-toil or Twin Air.
