Got it on some good tight single track (Thanks for showing me the trails SS109) had a a blast but tested my limits and the limits of my set up.
(that's what you get chasing a fast guy on his home turf.) Will have to adjust the  rear sag a little and quicken up the front end ) sag is at 125 for my weight from the factory and should be 100  but was working well stock so I did not touch it.) still liking this bike a lot but now I am willing to play with the preload and clickers to get it dialed.

On a side note
Has anyone added an exhaust and dialed it in with the stock FI tuning? It is not that I do not want to pay the $ for a JD tunner I just do not want to add something that may fail later on.

I just deployed the same bike and am absolutely thrilled with it.  I'm used to bigger bikes (my main squeeze is the 500 EXC KTM) but this bike is fantastic and really I'm now appreciating how great a light fast and powerful bike like this can be.  This is (mostly) for my son, we took it to an area not far from where we live and it was great.  I was surprised at how much power it has pulling out of corners even hauling my fat butt.

Looking for a wonderful long term relationship.

Also, which Cycra handguards did you get?  I'd like to get the same if they fit the stock handle bars....thx much.

You need the special Magura clamps that Cycra makes or they won't fit right.  This is assuming the '12 TXC310 uses the same Magura SX bars the '11 TE310 does...

After 15 hours of break in I Changed the Oil to Mobil one 20w-50 syn and replaced the coolant with engine ice. Seems to run a little coooler as the fan does not kick on all that often.

Still loving this bike. I have an FMF Q4 and power bomb header on order along wiht the JD tuner. I am going to hook it up and see how it does and maybe bring it in to get dyno/tuned. I expect about 3 more HP out of the set up. (not sure I need it, but it would be nice to have)

Anyone else do the FMF JD route?

Added the header and Q4 along with the power surge. Very pleased with the results. Much more power on the low end. I was able to run a gear higher and lug it out of the corners and keep it under control a little better, nice transition coming out of a corner and then hitting the meat of the power band. The power in the mid and up top was noticeably increased as well. I liked it every where but found a sweet spot hitting whoops. I could skim the tops and accelerate from bump to bump when I was in the right rpm range. I never could get it just right before. I usually run the whoops in a tall gear and the added power seemed just right for me.

Also the Q4 has the bosses  welded on for the stock heat shield. The Power bomb header also has an O2 bung welded on if you needed it. I hooked up the JD power surge and pipe at the same time so I can not compare the new pipe to stock with out the Power Surge. But FMF and the guys at Motocity all said the pipe would greatly benefit from a tuner. With the results I got, I believe them. (also the drive back to the shop after the install to get a tuner would have been half the cost in gas of the tuner anyway if I did not pick it up at the same time).

Just an update. Bike is still going strong, only issue was a leaking fork seal. I changed it out and gave me an excuse to tinker with the fork oil wt and leveI.

I took the bike to the MX track taday and was amazed at how well it did. The only thing I did was go 2 clicks harder on the rear rebound and it worked perfect. This is the same bike that dices up the single track and hangs with the full MXers on the motorcross track with no changes.  I did wear the tires out.  I put a  Brigstone M403 on the front and a Perrelli on the rear  (MX Extra X in a 100/100 18 this time) I like the combination.
