Green machine ride report

[Backwoods]

Got my bike today and when I got it home I went for a 21 mile ride. I like the gearing over my 2022, the engine breaking, and throttle is not edgy like the 22. Steep hill I coasted down in 2 nd and it didn’t runaway and gain enough speed where I needed to either brake or hit 3rd . So better engine braking, smooth throttle, kickstand plate is much bigger. My area is all hills and this one went right up a hill in 4th that I always need to downshift the 22 on. The red would start bogging a little towards the top and need to hit 3rd, this green went right up in 4th. The 244 tires feel much better too, and installing the chimera caps was more difficult, like I was needing to press down much harder. The front fork suspension feels stiffer for sure. I went ahead and installed the chimera when I got back from the ride. I have not yet tried it since the chimera addition. The shocks are nice and don’t need to be upgraded and the kickstart comes with a thin rubber boot. That’s about all I have for now.
