[QUOTE="Ol'89r, post: 1380263, member: 17212"] This may be part of the problem. The KTM50pro has a pretty hard hit for a 50 cc bike. Or in other words, when it hits the powerband, you better be hanging on. The advice of gripping with his knees is good and also have him sit up on the front of the seat, right up against the gas tank. This will help him control the bike better when it does come on the powerband. Another thing you can do is make a spacer to go in between the slide in the carb and the top cap. This spacer goes around the throttle cable, inside of the return spring and will limit the amount of throttle opening. You can make different length spacers for 1/2 throttle or 3/4 throttle and change them as he gets used to the hit. CAUTION. These little bikes are extremely dangerous for pee wee dads. I can't tell you how many pee wee dads I have seen with skinned knees from test riding their kids bikes. The combination of the hard hit of the powerband and the top heavy, full sized dad sitting on the seat usually results in a very ugly ending. :yikes: [/QUOTE]
