[QUOTE="GlennP, post: 144940, member: 18736"] I know what its like to struggle with a poor fitting (not poor quality) bike. To improve you need confidence. If the bike is to stiff and hard hitting and scares you half the time, its tough to get better. Like quadrunner said, the bike has to be soft enough to use all the travel, not half and then kick you off. I hated my '98 200 EXC when I got it. It was way too stiff even for me (175lb Bsr), and I could go faster on my buddy's clapped out KDX, because it sucked up hits and didn't bounce off everything. Get the spring rates right first for your weight and ability, and save for a revalve. Properly tuned forks that don't deflect will do more for your confidence and riding than anything. For the motor, an inexpensive way to mellow the hit is a reed spacer, around $20 and can be eaisly installed/removed. More flywheel is a good idea also. Good Luck. [/QUOTE]
