Just got back from Cascade locks located on the Columbia River in Oregon.....Wow....a very gnarly track....great fun.....
My new 550 blew me away !!!! once I threw away the Michelins and bent on some slicks, got the suspension to where it wasn't chattering me into trees and concrete walls or the river the real fun started....The engine is still tight and I am learning the berg ways, but my oh my does this bike rip !!!! remember I got off a 60 hp at the ground KX 500.....
I was almost in tears for joy at how fast the Berg is.......I was backing off the throttle (14/42 ) coming up on fully built 525 SMR's on the straights....so a 46 and 48 rear sprocket will be perfect, when I had the stock rear tire I was actually lighting it up outa corners with both feet up....never have I done this ever before, the power is so intense and smooth it felt so predictable....the engine revs like a two stroke...I learned more in one day on suspension tuning...good gawd so much adjustment...I will post more after the next two weekends as I have two events coming up !!!! The bike went to my tech this afternoon to do some major work..... The bike pulls so much harder than the 650 its really amazing....
I'm very jazzed about this new section and will do my best to help moderate.....
So the KX 500 goes by by and I'm gonna get me a 550 enduro for off road :idea: So anyone comes up to me and makes a wise crack about Husaberg's is gonna get a Fat lip :evil: Wish I bought a Berg alot sooner !!!!! :wink:
