I first started off with spacers in the front was jus fine with quad works stage 2 (lame dyno jet settings) n a full motoworks exhaust. Then some 18" tires in da rear n it got bald so I could jus pound it in the turns. Later got new mxr6 20" front n 18" rear got more traction but still could whip through turns almost as easy so decidided to up da power by installing hc2, hrc jet kit, green wire mod, n lid off. But now I come into the turns way too fast cuz the track I race on has a long straight with a hair pin turn on the end now it feels tipsy so I gotta make it wider wen I was jus doing jus fine. But that's what u gotta do to get faster.

To much power? In those long straight aways pin it then get on the brakes a little bit faster than you use to..

Haha...I think he was making a comment more than asking a question. What I took from it was he did some motor upgrades and now he is going harder into the turns and his wheel spacers are not wide enough because the bike has gotten tippy.

Solution: The motor has really no input on your corner speed. Just might have to use the brakes a little more if you are going faster down the straights than before. You cant use your same breaking points if you are now going faster. Just get on the breaks a little sooner, little harder, or lean more. Sit on the nerfs if you have to.

Or go buy some a arms and shocks.

Today, this really attractive woman that I've known for years told me that when I can have sex with her standing up, she'll have sex with me. I'm confined to a wheelchair. FML

Today, my husband dropped me off at work, ten minutes later I got a text saying" I just dropped the b*tch off I'll be there in a few baby, miss you". I asked him about it he said he "I dont know what youre talking about Megan". My name isnt Megan, not even close. FML

Today, my boss called me into his office to show me the web site of a potential business partner. When he began to type 'virginia' into google, it auto-completed his search with his recent search for 'virgin boy assholes'. I have to go on business trip with him tomorrow. I'm a young guy. FML

Today, my daughter asked me when was the first time I had sex. After I told her 22 she quickly shouted, "Beat ya!" She's thirteen. FML


lol... figured not much else was happening here.. p.gif

never did check on this lol i guess i was jus making a comment then the ? thats why i put my experience. but i would of thougt by boosting up the power would help me spin the tires easliy in the turns, but yeah now im coming in the turn way too fast now and the width of my bike cant handle the speed. so i would have to brake a whole lot sooner! i ride in a dusty area that would just slide and i guess im pretty on the light side and my stock fronts are too stiff to dive down to slow it down.

one other thing you could probli do is slam on the rear brakes to get the bike sideways a little bit & then pin the throttle to get the tires goin...make sure you pull the clutch tho when hittin the brakes

um... just practice more. if you dont figure it out i dont think racing is for you... dont take that the wrong way, im not trying to be rude.
black06 er
Yeah I'm trying to practice more on the slamming my back breaks n start drifting into the turns. It's just that I'm sick of my friends putting me down that they have +3 or the stock ltr and comparing it to me with just spacers. But I guess it's good cuz they pushing me to be better. But what I'm trying to say is that you only can go so fast to what the bike can handle. If I had +3 or even just +2, with a lower stance it's over!! I just hope the new 450r comes out with a race ready bike for the new Honda owners. Like in my sig Honda ftw!!
I was a yamaha guy but I couldn't afford cuz I got a good deal on the Honda and now I like to represent, there's not that much Honda riders on the island mostly yfz or ltr but thanks for some tips though
black06 er
After I post up this thread I did mess with my stock shocks and that helped a lot. I know my suspension is crap but I try to make the best out of it. I can keep up with my friends ltr. All my friends know that if I ever got better suspension I could take them. So like I said earlier I just gotta deal with what a got. We can end this thread thanks for all the help. I just gotta practice pratice practice
