rode both bikes on sunday at a MX track. not really fair to the 570 as it was the first time on it.
the bike flicks from left to right so easily at speed giving the impression that all the weight is around your ankles! tight turning I thought was similar bu t the steering overreacts in ruts so the TCs will have to go from 18 to 20 if they can and if they are on 20 - well i'll get a set of 22s!
power was real easy and in general it felt as light as the 400 when moving and lighter than a 250 when changing direction at speed!
front end dives terribly after mine and I had to take a soft bump cranked over and i always close the throttle on the 400. the 570 wanted to whack me diagonally over the bars and over the ropes till i learnt to always have a bit of throttle.
nice and slim with great ergonomics I whacked all the preload and compression clickers into it I could both front and rear and then raised the TCs 5mm which helped a little.
I would have added some rear preload but that looked a long way away!
all in all a great first ride and I'm proud to say I held up 3 CRFs and ruined their session!!!! :cheers: :cheers:
