Hi guys, I bought an 04 KTM 300 exc yesterday and took it down to a woods race today. Probably not my best idea, but I really wanted to finally use a bike designed for woods in one of these races.
Took the bike for a test drive and just figured it would take some getting used to, but now I'm not so sure.
Things I have noticed:
1. I cannot hold in the clutch lever and freely move the bike. IT HAS TO BE IN NEUTRAL.
2. Even though I am using the rear brake and locking up the rear wheel the bike STILL wants to go forward. I have to use both brakes if I want any chance of stopping
3. I am still stalling the bike, once again when I'm going down a gnarly hill it's almost like I have no brakes and the clutch doesn't act as a clutch
4. I cannot kick start the bike unless it is in neutral
Does this sound normal guys? What am I doing wrong or do I need to adjust something?
