Normal
I put the even cheaper "just the plate" version on my 02 yz 250 and felt the same way. stop on a steep trail and motor away in second if you want. You get some slimey rocky creek banks like I do, you have to love that. I see 2013-2015 yzfs here for under 35 here on occasion, I see them start good hot, and figure even with my bad knee I can start one and not kill it all day with the rekluse. I might really need one soon. My yz 250 is geared two teeth higher than stock and still works really well at low speeds. Did you ride yours without the stabilizer yet?
