Both companies also sell a dual-sport rendition. It will pass California standards, but the dirt-only model we tested is a federal off-road model and thus a red-sticker bike that may be restricted to certain times of the year at some riding areas in California.

Both Suzuki and Kawasaki sell their street versions of this bike in electric-start only, but with the same quality suspension components found on the off-road race models, including a fully adjustable shock and Showa 49mm conventional fork with cartridge internals.

I replaced the voltage regulator in July Posting Quick Reply - Please Wait. I replaced the stock exhaust with a Leo Vince X3 slip on and I like what that did for the bottom end and midrange.

The steering is not really crisp, but like the Gas Gas, that has more to do with the seat and tank keeping the rider from getting forward than it does with frame geometry. Nice pic, looks like fun.
