[QUOTE="Ol'89r, post: 1207808, member: 17212"] Hillclimbing or lower gearing would only make the bike more responsive to the throttle. It would lower your top end speed but the bike would have a harder hit at lower speeds. A flywheel weight will help tone it down a little and so would a insert for the muffler. Make yourself or have someone make you an aluminum insert for the muffler with a hole about the size of your thumb. This will cork up the exhaust system and tone the hit down. As you get used to the hit, you can remove the insert. You may have to do some re-jetting to get the bike to run smoothly with the insert. Another thing that will help is to learn to hang on to the bike with your knees and lower legs. This will free up your upper body and allow you lessen your grip on the bars. A step seat, (a seat that is cut out in the front with a step in the back), will also help keep you from sliding back too far on the seat. I have been riding a CRF450 for several years and I still find myself feeling like a flag on a flagpole every once in a while. It's just the nature of the beast. :p [/QUOTE]
