The Rekluses work better on bigger bore bikes with more
torque. Not to say not to get one on the 200, but you just got the bike. Give yourself some time to get used to it and maybe try added FWW first. I can lug my 200 down to near nuthin without stalling. You will learn better clutch control with the 200, better braking and handling. Remember, with the
Rekluse on the 2 stroke, no bump starting. lol
-of course the footpegs seem small coming off the Fastways, nothing to do with the bike. I have looked into those as well, maybe even the pivoting ones.
-Get an EE tall firm seat, makes all the difference for taller riders!:thumbsup:
-You are used to lowered pegs. I am 6' and run my bars in the 3 pos. I also run a tall seat. Plenty roomy now. FYI, the 200 shares the same ergos now with the 250/300. It has a smaller engine cradle so it rides much lighter.
For the 200 vs 300 thang. I don't miss my 300's at all!! I weigh 210 without gear and about 235 with gear. The 200's 6 speed is just about perfect for the woods riding I do. The 300 was deceivingly fast, getting me over my head if I tried to get too aggressive with throttle. I can use more of the 200 power without fear of it getting away from me. I used very little of the power the 300 had to offer, making it kind of boring to ride. It chugged a little better than my 200, but was not nearly as quick to rev.
If you think there's a big weight drop going to a 300 from the WR, it's about the same feeling stepping from the 300 to the 200. The 200 is truly a mountain bike with a motor.:thumbsup:
The 300 is a great bike, it was just too much for me to start out on. It skeered me. hehe. The 300 shines on more open terrain, in the hands of a skilled rider (B+ to A), higher elevations, for heavier riders...
The 200 shines in the woods, the tighter the better. It can be set up as a screamer or a chugger, just like the big bikes. Mine climbs like a mountain goat, just as well as the other KTM 2 strokes I have had, maybe better.
