[QUOTE="RM_guy, post: 131063, member: 20652"] A two stroke is going to have a much stronger burst of power when you hit the gas than a 4 stroke does. Because of this the rear tire will break loose much easier no matter how good the tread is. There are a couple of things you can do to keep the tire from sliding excessively but due to the power characteristics of a 2 stroke, especially a smaller bore, it’s going to happen. - Try to position your body further back on the seat to weight the rear end more. Be prepared to move forward if the rear tire suddenly hooks up. Through practice you can use your body position to strike a delicate balance between maximizing traction and keeping from looping out. - Work on delivering the power to the ground more smoothly through throttle and/or clutch control. If your bike has enough low end you can simple roll the throttle on slower. On a smaller bore bike you will need to slip the clutch in order to keep the engine speed up in the power band. - If the rear end does start sliding from side to side, keep the front wheel pointed where you want to go and try to get up on the pegs so the bike isn’t pushing your body all over the place. Remember, a screaming bike doesn’t always mean you’re going fast. If the power isn’t getting to the ground, you are just wasting gas. Good luck and practice, practice, practice. [/QUOTE]
