My best performance mod - by far

I've had issues with my suspension since I bought the bike. Although I had it dialed in by KTM suspension guru, Josh Barnik, the bike was just never quite perfect. It worked OK on the street, but got squirrelly when I started pushing it. It was absolutely terrifying on the track. Wallowing around like a pig and taking every opportunity it could get to try and chuck me off. I decided I had to do something about it.

So I did. I lost 25 lbs. Now, that wallowing suspension is taut. So taut it nearly bounced me off when I crested a whoop dee yesterday. I freaking love it.

I hope that you wrote down all the money you saved on food...
I'm sure you can justify spending it on the SD as you wouldn't have missed it anyway.

LOL - your "setup" is so much lighter weight now!

I don't think you mentioned it - but I'm guessing you feel better too!
