X trainer rider giving me some payback for my hurtful remarks

so anyways... great ride today, must say me and the boy were board with the pace set so we peeled off after 10k and hit some decent shit.

Cool what year is that Warwick?Santa was a bit early but at least he got me a proper Beta and not one of those scaled down kids bikes X trainers
Well we were out on the Trialsy, took my GasGas and my Beta for someone to ride. Unfortunately they saw me go up a tree rooted near vertical incline and figured they could follow. I got lucky, they broke a front guard. On my bike anyway, so who's the mug?
Don't you look at my accountant.
He's the only one I've got.

So it had nothing to do with the gear lever practically falling off due to your shoddy maintenance ?so anyways... great ride today, must say me and the boy were board with the pace set so we peeled off after 10k and hit some decent shit.
2020 with 55 hours on it, somewhat different to ride than my IT200 or RMX250, nearly on a par with my big block DR143
If you ever want to come down for a ride you're welcome to ride it

Awesome. I've ridden a mates 21 Racing, but in simple terrain. In gnarly stuff it's too tall for me. But not as tall as I'd thought sitting on one in the bike shop.

I am just flat footed on it, I wouldn't want it to be any taller, swapped with SVboy on his new XTrainer for a bit, very different power delivery when you consider they are both the same motor, I've seen dyno charts which show the XTrainer and RR being the same to about 4000rpm but the XTrainer feels a lot better lower down and far more linear in the power delivery

Looking at the XT pipe and it would be 80cc sized. Gutless as soon as even slightly open terrain. With a Fatty pipe it is impressive. Better than my GG throughout the range. Gives it much needed snap. One size smaller carb than the RR and my mate thinks it has more bottom and the same mid as his Race. And similar top, but neither of us has spent much time exploring that in areas we ride.
I bought the needle they recommend for the RR but haven't touched the jetting as so well suited to the new pipe. Probably try it in the Race and see if we can get it to equal mine lower down. He's playing a little with the PV adjuster, I haven't wanted to touch anything, and this is me, eternal tinkerer.
Just fitted stiffer front spring. That's probably the final piece of suspension upgrade. It was twitchy before as std but is a different bike now with valving changes and rear spring. Think we are out next weekend to try it, but there is an organised Trial so might ride that.

I really enjoyed riding Kickaha's RR300, at least on easy trails. I think I would struggle in the tight stuff-just too high for me. Suspension had the potential to be excellent-I thought the valving was too firm but it soaked up trail trash much better than the Xtrainer. It does not deflect off difficult hard hits like the Xtrainer can. Power delivery on the Xtrainer was much friendlier and usable but the RR300 was more 'fun'[like my old KDX].

F5 Dave, can you PM me re what you have done to your suspension? What were the valving changes? Where did the new front spring come from and what rate? Cost? I can get the proper sag value on the front but am tightening the preload several turns to get there. The internet has suggested going to 20W fork oil from 15W helps.

I had that happen twice, the first time I thought it was just an awkward hit but then it did it again, power delivery on the X Trainer is far easier to live with

Play with PV adjuster. Steve found the same thing on his Race but could dial it out.

Actually I forgot to say, I checked the day after and found it was a full turn out from the stock setting which would give the power delivery a harder hit
