Loving the RX,not perfect but fun. Takes a little to get use to snappy power, suspension is pretty good out of the box. Miss the hydraulic clutch from KTM's.

Not really the reason for trying to sell this, just have a couple of things I'm interested in, see what happens.

You went 4 stroke and red. Not going senile on us are you?

Probably not a bad choice. The R has a ton of power but the geometry isn't great for the woods. The X is down 15 hp and it's geometry is only good for desert racing, need a different offset and suspension mods. The RX looks like a better choice for the woods.

Thought about adding a flywheel weight to take away some snap? I used a Steahley 17 oz weight for a few years on my 450X and loved it. I didn't use a Rekkluse so it was good for keeping the stalling down when slogging through mud a gear high and it really smoothed out the power pulses of the 4 stroke single. I also ground down the throttle tube cam profile for more cable wrap. That allowed me to fine tune my throttle inputs and not be herky jerky, especially in the whoops. I can't recommend those 2 things enough.

I'm going to have to talk to you separately on the BMW RS. I used to love my R1100S but not sure if I'd miss the telelever front. I really liked it.
