Something in the air lately. The forum has a become a cesspool of negativity lately. I'm scared to look at any new posts??

While I always try to keep things positive, if sugar coated too much no one learns anything and nothing improves, and we look like the orange site. Don't you think? Why I don't condone whining about every little problem, there are issues that have come to a head. We have a good guy supporting us as he can but he can't do it all. I hope the factory guys read some of this, step up, and solve the problems, and not only the technical specific ones.

If Gas Gas had even a fraction of all the issues KTM has had over the last few years it'd be in receivership by now.

I had some major issues with my 12 dealt with my dealer, and Clay. I can only can say they did right by me. The 13 is a much improved bike, some minor things to sort through. When it works it works thats why I keep the faith. After being on the 4stk for the last couple of rides I can wait to see what I can do with with the 300. Many of the problems that are being talked about I have had and then some.

If i buy a new bike and on initial breakin nothing goes wrong or i havent fixed a few things on a bike via forums, dealer, buddy etc i dont feel right. If u ride them the way there ment to be ridden stuff will break. Too many moving parts and possibilitys for wear and tear. A new bike needs the snot ridden out of it before it ever hits a race or major backwoods trailride. I purposly buy lightly used bikes for this reason, and it saves me a ton of money. Clay does a hell of a job and is a real dude and he flat kicks my ass at the enduros. Theres enough info and reads on here that if you have a small or major problem someone else has had it. Example, my lower shock bolt stripped out, got info and other members feedback quickly. Ive really thought about doing the smoker beta or sherco but if something happens to it your on your own more or less. Im waiting on another gasser but with direct injection, until then im going to put another 100hrs on my 11.

This place is depressing lately.

Forums are for resolving issue and making improvements. Tends to not be much chatter if things are going well.

If we didn't have something to complain about what we talk about the weather?

We would all be out riding!

Or fighting fish.

Wait till Clay gets the Sherco two strokes in, more to talk about then.

Competition is a good thing, keeps everyone on their toes.

I was at the local dealer tonight for supplies and checked out a Husaberg TE300. Different design subframe, but also has a very rigid inner fender. No breakage reports, even on the 4strokes so I was told.
Still, I find it hard to beleive it would not snap the fender in a flip. Difference is though, based on an external observation(did not remove seat)it's not part of the airbox.
