The (3) keys to making a 300 super easy to ride are carburation, gearing, and throttle control. The carb is easily fixed by replacing the needle with a suzuki NE series needle - that will allow the bike to run clean from idle so roll on power is clean, strong, and controllable. Cost is only $15-$20. Throttle control can be made much easier with a "slow turn" throttle. G2 makes a good unit but it's pricey (around $100 or more) but it comes with multiple throttle cams the one you want is #400. Last but just as important is gearing. On a 300 it's easier to ride if you gear it low and ride a gear high. I like 13/50 on a 300 gasser - 1st gear should be rarely used (it's there for towing broken KTMs up hills)
