[QUOTE="firecracker22, post: 97891, member: 20316"] Thanks again for the ideas. When we get back from Idaho we will have more time to do suspension and jetting and setup stuff. I haven’t bent the stock bars yet (I’m shocked) so I was trying to avoid replacing them until I do—I just don’t have a whole lot of money. I had CR Hi bend on the XR and never had this problem—but that thing was a TOTALLY different bike and I had other problems. I want to try to round off the sharp corners of the seat foam and Steve said we can drill holes in it to soften it a bit. That thing is pretty brutal. My "sit bones" ache too after a long day of riding. I have the bars 1 position back towards me. We haven’t flipped the mount over yet to try the other 2 positions. I do want to cut them down, as they are stock bars I don’t think it’ll be too painful to start hacking on them, and since I have Rally 2 guards on there, that adds about 1/2 an inch on either side too. I do want to do the springs but as I want to ride mx as well as woods I don’t want to go too soft. I’m not rider enough to really tell the difference when I play with the clickers and make a few laps. I need an expert to go to the track with me and help me figure it out and that’s a huge favor to ask of someone—especially when the only suspension tech I know who is willing to help me out has been trying to get in my pants and I don’t want to encourage him or let him think he has an opening. :rolleyes: I thought that gripping the tank/shroud with knees is the correct way to ride? I know that if I remember to, it makes cornering and jumping while standing much easier. I know a lot of my problems also stem from bad riding habits too. I just am trying to figure out the ergos to help. Now I know why good riders spend so much time fiddling with tiny adjustments! On the XR it didn’t matter so I never bothered with anything. Those don’t really HAVE "ergonomics." [/QUOTE]
