[QUOTE="Lorin, post: 150508, member: 16153"] I ride a similar bike all of the time. Like mentioned above, short shift the bike and ride the bike a gear high. I also went with a 15 tooth sprocket on the front to mellow it out a little. The bike (mine at least) has a decent amount of flywheel weight so it doesnt rev as fast as a 250 does. The main thing to remember is that you have to ride it differently. What that means is: dont just start twisting the throttle. If you ride a gear high and short shift, than you will manage to stay out of the main hit on the bike (right on top). Mine has a pretty mean hit at the upper revs that comes on real fast. Nothing quite like the experience of pulling a wheelie in 5th gear on a fire road. [/QUOTE]
