2017 FE 350's arriving

[Nocal]

I've been watching the FE 501 post for months now but haven't heard much about the FE 350s. I figured lets get the 350 chatter on its own thread.

 

I haven't got my 17 FE350 yet but my dealer did get 17 FE501s. Has anyone got there 17 FE 350s? What's the first impressions? upgrades? Pros? Cons?

 

I plan on racing mine next weekend (14th/15th) in the first Big6 GP if I get it soon. I've already got a new complete wheel set up for off road, FMF muffler, 14/50 gearing or 52.

 

Lets hear what you guys are thinking

I have mine... went from stock 14/52 (wouldn't pull a wheelie easily in 1st or 2nd) to a 13 front sprocket and is a completely different machine.... much better.

Be sure you order 2017 specific parts as a lot of the previous will not fit ... clutch lever as an example...

cyclrder, Thanks for your input. I thought the bike came stock with 13/52. Rocky Mountain ATV/MC says 13/52.  Can you double check?

He told me the same thing and it very well may for the altitude out there.... but here on the east coast my bike definitely had the 14/52 setup.

I don't have any seat time with my new setup but from the ride down the street it was a completely different and impressive bike.
