16 1000 flat sport in power delivery

I was just curious as I finally was able to put some time on my 1k XMR outty and I am noticing a flat spot around 4k RPM when slowly rolling on the throttle, Has anyone noticed this? is this normal? or is it something that will smooth out as it breaks in?

Machine have 4 miles on it and like an hour on it 🙂 been taking it easy to break. I might be the only one that has been "easy" on the throttle with 89hp on tap :aniwheeler6::th_smiliedance:

Looking for images of XMR with Beadlocks/tires

I am looking at getting some tires and beadlocks for my 16 XMR outty 1k
Thinking
Black STI HD or HD5 beadlocks
or
MSA M21’s I do really like the look of these on the XMR but they are pricey.

Anyone run any of these setups (doesn’t have to be an XMR)?

Also what tires are you running? Thinking between Roctane XD (K), Blackwater, or Bighorns 28 or 30’s.

Also open to suggestions as if I don’t go beadlock I would just get another set of SS312 as I like the looks of them on the XMR

Thanks

Any reason to avoid 13/14 1000 XMRs?

I am in the market to buy 1 or 2 XMRs one for me and one for the GF, I am most likely going to buy a 2016 for me, but I’ve found some 13/14 1000’s for $9k-$10k and thinking of getting her one of those, any reason other than the ACS to avoid these? Do the 15 have that much more enhancements to look at those instead? I don’t want a machine that has to many idiosyncrasies as I want the machine to be as simple and reliable as the King Quad 750 she rides now.

If I got a 2nd new one I might get he a 650 or 850.
