Message: [QUOTE="TimberPig, post: 1013710, member: 66421"] Unfortunately, that is pretty much the nature of a small bore MX 2 stroke. They hit hard and need to be revved to make power. A set of reeds might sharpen the throttle response a tad, but it isn't going to soften the hit much. A pipe could be built to smooth the hit, but you would have to research the characteristics of the pipe. Many are designed to make more power, rev higher, and they actually hit harder too. A flywheel weight would smooth the sharpness of the hit somewhat, but the bike will not rev as quickly. This is normally the best option to smooth the power delivery. A bolt on weight could be removed once he has become more confident. Rich jetting can also make the hit more sluggish, but the bike won't respond as cleanly, and will be a plug fouling beast as well. The main thing is though to get him as much seat time to get confident on it. The more he rides it, the less he will be afraid of it. Once he gets used to it, his little brother isn't going to be able to beat him anymore. This may mean you need to take him back to the fields and let him run up and down them to get used to it in an environment where he doesn't have to worry as much about jumps and stalling. Get him used to it there, then take him back to the track. Trying to get confident on a new bike that scares you, and concentrate on racing is unlikely to be a successful venture. He needs seat time to get used to the bike, and then he can get back to the racing. [/QUOTE]
