2013 race 300 Aussie/Euro spec first impressions

Update final.

Went to clip 3 /40 /1.75 turns /180 on jd red, great. Way less burble, touch more bottom, lot more mid and top.

Moved pegs to lower/ more forward setting. 1 disadvantage, less clearance, I'm thinking still a little more than 2011. 4 advantages, better kick start clearance, higher bars standing, brings you way forward on the seat sitting, less distance sitting to standing... I'll see how the clearance is. From pictures it looks a touch lower than the 12 pegs.

All set up, just need another ride or two to decide on a steering damper, at this stage I'm erring towards no.

Thanks for that mate.
They look quite a bit different than the 12.
Are they harder to sit on?
I think Keg is in the process of making some so i will test one of them out I hope?
Thanks again for the pics, good to hear you are having fun on the new girl.
Cheers Mark

Could you please post a pic of the foot peg adjustment ?

Thanks mate

Seat is firmer, but the rounded nature makes it monkey butt free and easier to move around on, seat cover seems to be a little thicker and is gripper everywhere, it's very ktm.

I use a high tensile bolt and nyloc nut with lots of anti seize in lieu of the plastic gg peg bolt.

Main jet pfp spanner (ie just a main jet gasgas plug, front, rear axel spanner). Works ok.
