As Pirelli has a large tyre range I was able to
run different tyres in different conditions
such as a sand tyre at the third round in
Manawatu at Flips MX-track. My suspension
has been re-valved by Troy at P1 Moto;
the standard air forks are really good and
I think they suit my riding style more than
the 4CS forks on the older model bikes.
The CFX gripper seat is awesome in muddy
conditions which half the rounds were. The
engine was completely stock, other than an
FMF pipe and muffler for two of the four
rounds. We were running rear Bud Racing
hole-shot clips and KTM Power Parts hole-shot
clips which helped with my starts over
the season, meaning I was able to hole-shot
a few motos at the 2017 nationals. We ran
a KTM Power Parts larger rear brake cylinder
to prevent the brake overheating. I am really
grateful to be on the CML KTM team.
I’ve been able to ride the most competitive
bike in the class and had invaluable support
from team owner Karl, team-mate Hamish,
Shaun Fogarty and Troy Hamilton.
