This could be premature as the bike hasn’t even been delivered yet, but the anticipation is killing me, so I thought I’d post questions while I wait.
My riding is strictly trails – tight, wooded single track. For those in the Puget Sound region this means Reiter, Tahuya, Taneum/Naches, Walker Valley, etc. I want to setup the EC 300 focused for these kinds of conditions. I want to focus the bike on the low end and smooth power delivery. Are there any typical mods or recommendations? Smaller sprocket? Jetting change? Flywheel weight? Throttle tube/cam with different profile? Maybe just leave the ignition mapping switch in “wet” and change nothing else?
I’m not a fast rider and even if I have the opportunity to open up the throttle I rarely will. As a rider I want to become smother and more confident in difficult terrain. Something I’d like to aspire to:

I may eventually add a recluse auto clutch, but I’ll avoid it initially. I have one on the DRZ and it definitely helps me ride much more difficult and challenging terrain, but with the gasgas I want to put that mod off and refocus on my clutching ability with a lighter, better bike.
