turk, got 400kms on engine, only seeing 10,100 so far, did the rpms straighten out for you sometime in your break in period and get higher?

Have you guys tried star tron yetr................ This stuff is just flying off both local dealers shelves here. Use 2 oz. per tank. Takes care of that funky 10% eth. MM.

I doubt the starting problem is from ethanol unless you are not running premium in the new Apex's like you are supposed to. No Ethanol in premium in the US any way!

I don't remember if he said he was using prem. gas or not? I was just thinking about possible water in the fuel at that temp. The star tron treats this problem. It's good stuff. Anyone with a smoker (for sure) should ad some at every fill-up. MM.

Anyone with an XTX notice there is a hole in the rear skid where you can lower the rear suspension about 1"? Might take care of the stud issue as well as lowering the rear skid for better off trail manners...
