Default first ride

So first day ride report. Like my 18 but better. Changed springs and added lectron, Kept stock tires on. Set suspension to comfort settings. Kept stock gearing , - usually run 12-50 . Button works great, my 18 was always iffy til it died at about 40 hours, then it wasnt. Engine feels very strong. Have not checked PV setting. Set the lectron to run real rich during break in and the bike still pulled hard and lugged down to nothing. I ride mostly low speed technical rocky, rooty northeast singltrack with the occasional 30 mph burst of speed................ Bike did great, I Am a happy camper! Suspension was smooth, took a little to settle in but once she did she was great . Rocks, roots , whoops all with no drama. Only real complaint is I don't like the stock s3 pegs.
