[QUOTE="Bob Brooks, post: 62250, member: 21253"] I've spent a lot of time on four-strokes and two-strokes during my years of riding and they definitely require different styles. The biggest difference is obviously in cornering. On the thumper, you need to practice on using the engine braking to your advantage. You can use different lines on the thumper and you're able to get on gas earlier in the corners than on a two-stroke. The four-stroke gets far better traction and the power delivery is smoother, so try using that engine brake and run it into the corners a little harder and roll it on quicker than you did on your two-stroke. Also, a four-stroke favors a style of rolling through the corners and maintaining momentum as opposed to the point and shoot style of a two-stroke. Most two-stroke riders I see usually slam on the brakes, try to bounce off of a berm or something, and then whack the throttle open and exit the corner. My advice is on the thumper is to use a wider, smoother arc and experiment with different lines. As the previous note says, the best thing really is just seat time and practice. Once you get comfortable and used to the different style, my guess is that you'll go faster and use less energy than you did before. Good luck, and congratulations on the new scoot! ------------------ [/QUOTE]
