[QUOTE="oldguy, post: 1133240, member: 16965"] My first mod would be to make sure he gets as much practice as possible and rides with faster riders to improve his reactions. You can throw a ton of money into a bike and see no gains if the rider is hesitating in crucial area during the race. My son has terrible starts mainly because he had some bad crashes in starts early in his racing and he now tends to back off if it gets tight- luckily he is fast enough in corners to make up alot of time. Are you really sure he is using the bikes full potential and being held back by the bike or just isn't quite as fast as the other riders. I am not saying this to shut you down only going on my son's experiences. We did very little modding on his bikes but instead made sure he rode alot on real tracks. Corners and making passes quick are where the races are won. now if you are intent on making mods you need to watch him and see where he needs the extra power. Is the bike lagging out of corners? Do the other bikes walk away from him on straights? Make sure the bike is jetted properly -this will make as much real performance gain as many costlier mods if the bike is not jetted crisply. From your other post about the bike sound I am guessing you may be a bit rich on jetting hence the oil saturated packing. Re gearing with sprockets can also make great gains in performance but again you need to know where he is lacking in power. [/QUOTE]
