[QUOTE="NJ-DirtRdr, post: 311238, member: 23007"] I had a similar problem when I first got my bike--a KDX200. Now, I know it's not your 250, but it is a pretty quick bike when set up properly. I used to get so tired just holding on. On top of that, I felt I had very little throttle control when hard on the gas. I heard about gripping the bike with your knees, and tried it one day. Boy does it make a difference! It allows me to separate throttle operation from holding on, which allows me better control and less fatigue at the same time. I went one step further and bought some hi-grip clear grip tape from DK and put it everywhere my legs touch: gas tank, side number plates, and even the frame. As an added bonus, if you paint the frame just before you apply the grip tape, it will stay bright and won't rub off (because it's under the clear tape). The only drawback to this technique is that the grip tape eats your pants. If I were to do it again, I'd use a medium grip instead of the more abrasive high grip. Also, it has a tendency to trap dirt unless you use a bristle brush and patience. Very effective, however. --Tim [/QUOTE]
