[QUOTE="rmc_olderthandirt, post: 1346368, member: 68872"] My first recommendation is to get that big boy off that little bike! I have seen a bunch of people get hurt from riding a bike too small for them as their weight and center of gravity being so high is just asking for a trip over the handlebars. I suspect that the KLX110 will shortly be too small as well, if it isn't too small already. Consider the fact that the KX80 has more than twice the suspension travel of the KLX110. The last thing you want is for your son to hit a jump and have the suspension be insufficient to handle the landing. You may think that you are protecting your kid by limiting the performance of the bike but the truth is that given a long enough run any bike can get going fast enough to hit a jump but the right bike will allow him to survive the jump. You should also invest in all the proper riding gear. Helmet, chest protector, knee pads, elbow pads, riding pants, boots, googles, gloves. Perhaps even a good neck brace. It is a given that he will hit the dirt, the proper gear avoid a lot of the injuries. Rod [/QUOTE]
