hi! im starting to get depressed.   im already riding reflex, especially sx, not bad at all. a normal online game, ill win to 50% (depends how often i crash). but when im comparing my laptimes to the really fast players on mxot, im still secs behind. my best laptime on kingston2 is 1:45 something; not bad i guess. but still more than 4 secs to slow. maybe my settings are not good: 1) click more to topspeed than to acceleration 2) suspension all hard 3) tires all sticky 4) brakes/throttle in the middle im running the most expensice maxxis tires, not the sx ones.   can u please give me some competitive settings/advices for my bike. thx guys!

yea top speed 3 more than accelerate suspension hard. you have all the right settings, your just missing a line or 2. try some new lines on the outside rythem section. i kno the fast line out side makes up 2 seconds

I run between 2-3 clicks more acceleration, depending on the track. 2 clicks (4 boxes total) for Kingston 1 and 2 for example. 1 click more hard suspension, and all sticky tires. I can get 1:40-1:42 lap times with that set up at K2.

 Try about 4 more clicks top speed and between 4 and 6 more soft suspension. I know it's a combination that has worked great for many riders of different levels.

i use what marx says. It works great. I sorta took it from when i saw a vid of x MxOT RooKIE x. 4 more topspeed works well for me really well since i carry speed through corners really well. 4 more soft suspension helps you stay lower and faster on big jumps and absorbs bumps really well I personally use 4 more sticky because sticky tires just works really well for me. But i think there is such a thing as Too much of a good thing here. so i dont max out all sticky.

green's really popular. Same with the hondas. people either hate or love ktm's. hardly anyone i talk to likes yamaha. And Suzuki, which i ride, is amazing, but underrated by alot of people/
