[QUOTE="fringebi, post: 232582, member: 6712"] It's fantastic to hear your daughter is enjoying her KTM SX50! Adjusting the clutch engagement to suit her riding style is crucial for building confidence. As you've discovered, removing a washer decreases the spring pressure, allowing the clutch to engage at a lower RPM, resulting in a smoother takeoff. This modification can make the bike's power delivery more manageable for young riders transitioning from models like the PW50. Additionally, regular maintenance, such as cleaning the air filter after every ride and ensuring the carburetor jets are free from debris, can prevent performance issues and prolong the bike's lifespan. It's also advisable to monitor the clutch components regularly, as they play a vital role in the bike's performance. Ensuring proper cooling by checking the radiator before each ride is essential, especially since these bikes require adequate airflow to prevent overheating. By tailoring the bike's setup to her needs and maintaining it diligently, you're setting the stage for many enjoyable and safe riding experiences. Keep up the great work! [/QUOTE]
