Message: [QUOTE="va_yzrider, post: 881946, member: 41673"] Sounds like a suspension adjustment is in order. If you hit the jump at constant throttle and you are nose diving, it is either that the jump is really short and small or your suspension settings are way off. If the jump is small, your front wheel could be off the jump before your back wheel is on it. This will cause the rear suspension to rebound rather violently, thus causing the dreaded nose dive. Sometimes it is easier to hit a big jump than a small one. One of my friends who is an experienced vet rider found this out the hard way a couple of years ago. If the jump isn't so small that your front wheel is off it before your back wheel is on it, then consult your manual and set your sag properly. Then set the rebound damping at the stock setting and tweak it from there until the problem goes away. Soon you will be able to hand off your title of "king of the panic rev" to someone else. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
