I appreciate all the information!
Today was our first real day of him trying to ride it. Went to a big field by my house and let him get used to the throttle. He started out with a lot of chicken wing. So much wing we could have fed the whole county. The he started to get it. He’s real worried about popping a wheelie but we just wanted him to get used to how the throttle felt.
After about 15 minutes he was doing good and called it a day. We will hope for our yard to dry out a little bit and get him back on it. Total run time since new about 12 minutes lol. Gonna let him get half way through the gas tank and then change the oil.
As for clutch adjusting give me a little more info on that? I saw something in the manual but don’t really understand.
Yeah...the dreaded chicken wing...
The IRP clutch helps with that a little in the way it engages, but mostly as you are doing, it just takes time to get used to it it seems. On a Cobra there is no adjustment with the stock clutch so it's an all or nothing type of dealio...
Adjusting the clutch is pretty easy. 8mm t-handle is all you need. I didn't have the stock clutch all that long as we went to the IRP Triple Grip Clutch. It's a superior clutch, but not necessary. Has a more consistent and manual clutch engagement. Before I bought one, I called
https://intuitiveracing.racing/ and talked at length before buying. My stock clutch was worn out and this more so seemed like the best replacement. Your situation may not warrant this cost. Just an option.
You can Google on the adjustment. I'll let the others comment more on the proper adjustment in their experience, but do be sure to adjust all adjustments to the same setting. Seems like a no brainer I know, but just in case.... As Hershey says above, be careful with the slip in the clutch. It causes heat and premature wear. The more slip you adjust to, just be more mindful on the tranny oil. More slip (and chicken wing) will obviously had the potential to burn it up quicker and gum up plates with fiber residue, etc. due to poor maintenance. The adjustment is definitely a benefit to the KTM, etc. stock set up in the beginning, but can be a detriment if you do not adjust it right.
