I wouldn't go too strong on the bottom end on a 300 unless you're riding all fast stuff. The problem I found with too much bottom is the abruptness of the power commencement. 4 strokes start producing torque much more gradually and require more throttle. A 300 2 stroke will suddenly jump from nothing at just above idle to let's say 5 bhp on a whisker of throttle. That doesn't matter if your terrain is open or dry but trying to get it round a greasy, tight flat turn is another matter. 4 strokes may produce similar or more low down power but are much more linear on the throttle. My bike came with a Gnarly and PV cover and I soon ditched them trying to find a smoother bottom end throttle response.
