This is the second time my reply hasn't posted when I post it....
So the condensed version is, congratulations, gear it down one tooth on the rear, drop 10ccs of oil out the forks or more if you're a lighter rider. I strongly recommend using mxas http://motocrossactionmag.com/Main/News/MXAS-2013-KTM-250SX-TWOSTROKE-MOTOCROSS-TEST-BEST-9333.aspx suspension settings as a baseline. Keep bleeding the forks for air after every ride during the first 5 odd hours of riding cos they seem to find alot more. Uhhhh lets see... Oh yeah, I found that to milk the steel chassis's cornering ability for all its worth, you tend to use turn the bars more than I was used to. Trust in this bike, because it is stable and accurate beyond belief. My biggest limiting factor while on it, is that thanks to the broken handling of my old CR125, I can't bring myself to trust it.
If you're racing the lites with this, the same basic rules for riding style apply. That is, seek good dirt, maintain momentum as much as possible etc. But the advantage of raw power works in your favour. You can divebomb the inside and rely on the power of the engine to stand you back up and keep you infront of hte 125s and 250Fs that railed the outside line. By doing this you theoretically save time.
Again, congratulations. Take it easy for a while. The ergos and power aren't even on the same planet as your 125.
