#1 are the aarms gonna cause me problems if i got it and started to race? i would be just starting out as a beginner in xc, gncc or mx.
#2 wheres the best deal in central/south central to pick one up at. kauffmans has them for 7000 otd but people are getting them for like 5900 - 6300. also nothern maryland would work to maybe virginia or west virgina if the price was right. thanx

I just got mine yesterday and i started breaking her in half throttle and what it says to do in the owner's manual. i love the suspension and i haven't even started to dial it in yet. i got mine for 7200 OTD. i have to pay to 3200 and my dad pays the rest. best bet it to buy out of state like i did. or i would of been pushing 8K!

they are light. the front end feels alittle heavier than my buddy's stock kfx front end. but i was breaking it in and doing alittle jumping and the front end feels like a feather in the air. i wasn't hammering it but it felt very predictable in the air. i like the size because i can man handle it. getting used to man handleing the power though

over the 300ex.

I have had mine for a few weeks now so I should have a pretty good feel for it. as a beginer racing, mx don't really need any performance mods. As a xc racer the shocks need to be sofend. They are way to stiff for rough tracks. I am an A class rider and I have had a couple of pro's ride it and it is way too stiff for all of us. DeRisi Racing will be able to revaulve them very soon. and within a week or so he will have a full revalve kit for it with dual rate springs.
