[QUOTE="zsr, post: 69435, member: 22313"] My son has this bike and is an A class rider, but we have had terrible problems with this bike. He is only 16 but a really fit 185lb 6'0". The rear shock is still stock (but I think we may go lighter shortly, we have dialed it in as best we can but these settings will be of little use as they don't seem to work!! Although he is happy with the feel of the rear, I think it may be the stiffness of the shock spring pitching the bike forwards causing the forks to work too hard. We had the forks revalved and reprung (lighter) and dropped them down through the clamps (this made the biggest difference). We have also bought a 20" Talon for the front, but this made no difference to the 'spikey' feel, the bike always turned well anyway so I think that was a waste of $200. Obviously double check the torque on the pinch bolts and please, if you find a magic solution let us know! He is currently experiencing massive tank slap / headshake under hard acceleration. We might cut our losses and buy blue, he rode one recently and was just so fast... Good luck ------------------ 98 CR125 01 CR250 99YZF R1 Thanks to: Motorex / D.I.D. / Vesrah / YES Helmets [/QUOTE]
