He's read the instructions very very carefully and said, you can go too far, and damage the engine. After all his playing with maps, he's settled on the same map I use.
Note: when using the GYTR (FMF) muffler the engine doesn't run very well on some maps (prefers a richer map)
There is a noticeable power increase using the GYTR muffler, but it's a 450 so it's got shit loads of power without it. (and it's quieter) Which is better on longer adventure rides.
Tazz, I sold my XTZ 660 teneŕe because the 450 is so much more fun on adventure rides. Also much lighter to pick up.
My Beta RR300 2t is also registered (on hold)and WOF'd, I'm not tempted to use it for adventure riding at this stage, mainly because of the hassle of premix and poorer fuel economy. And I like using it on the trail rides without the road gear.
"Motomox" has "cush drive" rear sprockets for most enduro bikes I'm told. Nicer for adventure riding.
