I put a pipe and throttle stop eliminator on it the day I bought it. Had the dealership upgrade and program the ignition mapping to accomodate the new pipe. I put a street legal kit, rekluse and desert tank on it later and have done nothing more than ride and click the suspension a bit. It is a fun bike with great suspension/handling, incredible power and everything I could ask for in an all around dirtbike.
If you want to try it send me a message. I cant make cherry creek this week but I bet my bike could

Fourty has a really sweet WR and a fantastic head lamp might I add.
I don't care if it is 273 lbs dry that bike rocks.

273 wet.

Oh my gosh that is a huge difference -My bad

I never thought it was a heavy bike. even after riding a two stroke for a couple of months this bike feels light when riding. I don't have to pick it up off the ground much so I guess I do not notice the weight

Now that's an answer we can all live by.
