[QUOTE="nikki, post: 102018, member: 18126"] In my first two races on my new YZ 125 this year - I had a problem of the front tire popping out high on the ruts - I would start off in them - and the front tire just wouldn't stick. And, as the result, I would lay the bike over in the corner. THEN, I got my suspension done for my weight/riding ability and [B]what a difference!!![/B] I guess there wasn't enough weight on the front tire because of the stiffer stock springs, so the tire had a mind of it's own and wouldn't "stick" in the rut and follow the line. After getting my suspension done - I haven't had this problem since!! But my best advice as for taking the ruts is to keep up momentum through the corner. Not saying to pin the gas - but just keep a steady throttle. When you completely let off of the gas - your bike lose momentum and may fall over. Also - make sure you are positioned before the rut so both your front tire and back tire will follow the line - because if you just get your front in it and your back goes higher that the rut - you'll have trouble! Last piece of advice - just keep reminding yourself that practice will make perfect. And you probably won't master it in a day - it takes time. It took me two whole seasons before I quit consistently laying my 125 over in the corners! :confused: [/QUOTE]
