To get this it to ok the hard wo rk and to ns of dyno hours from FMF pipes and PR2 racing technologies. PR2 develop ed a new spec RM 85 mot or that had plenty of power. And the FMF exhaus t gave the moto r the hard-hitting power we were loo king for. The new VForce3 ree ds also gave the mo to r a really strong throttle res ponse. Fo r suspens io n. Nico likes his supercro ss suspen sion set up pretty stiff. PR2 came up w ith som e settings that wo rke d exce llent. The suspens ion gave Nico t he confidence to hit any set of supe rcross whoo ps and not worry abo ut the bike swa pping." rllrlc:n,:\A1c:;, rom CYCLE NEWS . NOVEMBER 10.2004 97
