Default 200

Well I recently picked up a 12 - 200 I was on the fence between this and the ktm. I've had alot of 200s over the years. My take on this bike, the engine has the best power of any 200 I've rode. Stock jetting is close I went one clip positon leaner on the neddle and air screw 1/4 turn out. High/low power setting very notable. Rider positon is not crammped like ktm. suspension is well blanced and works well for my weight [160] Turning/handling is very good in single track, almost to quick for me. Could use more lock to lock turning radius, only noticable when making a u turn or 90 degree turn when stopped. Weight is a little more then ktm but you won't notice when you ride it. The seat is hard as a rock but I'm starting to like it. Take the extra time to prep the bike loctite,grease, antiseize, spark plug and air boot. If you ride enduro type trails and like 200 cc bikes you will love this one.
