    Looks like you and your boys had a good day riding! Now, about the sputtering at WOT, a change to a smaller main jet would be the first thing to consider but you must be running relatively rich at sea level also since a 5000' elevation difference doesn't usually require rejetting. Check your plug or better yet put in a new one and do a couple of WOT runs and assess the plug color (try to use gas that doesn't contain ethanol, although that's nearly impossible these days).

    I know when I tried to join the first time, I got no response for several weeks and then re-registered and was approved in a few days. If the intent is to "hand pick" members, then the current process is fine, but it is a little different than most website registrations. This is only my opinion.

    This is an age-old issue with an infinite number of opinions but my experience has shown you need to pick a ratio to run and then jet for it. Do not adjust your ratio based on anticipated riding conditions, rather, make jetting adjustments. Trail riding is typically 40:1 to 50:1. I understand there are people who run 100:1 ratios but that is a little oil lean for me. Also, if you are running any type of spark arrestor (which you should be) eliminating "spooge" out the pipe is nearly impossible due to the reduced velocity of the exhaust gassses within the silencer. These are my opinions only.

    RJ is the most honest and straightforward guy around and his helpers are always friendly as well. I'm surprised you had any problems with them.

    I agree with this ^. I bought a used, non KTM bike from RJ and found him and his shop wonderful to deal with. On a side note, most dealerships ream you on nitrogen charges because, although it's necesary for them to have that equipment, just the time involved in having a employee fill a shock bladder is more than $10. The best deal I have found is at Lee's cycle on Areo Dr.; they charge $5 and you wait less than 15 minutes for the refill.
