Hey Guys,
I bought a 2003mdl YZ250 about 3 months ago, it is my first bike, so i'm just learning to ride it. I don't seem to have any problems, i am jumping 70 - 80 foot tables, 30 foot doubles, all fine but when i comes to changing up gears while standing just feels awkward. I can't seem to get my foot under the lever and when i do my foot is on a bad angle (bent forward, so therefore i have to lean my left leg forward). I've tried moving my gear lever higher but then it's just too high and i can't ride. What should i do? Is maybe my gear lever too short and i need it extended? I wear 'Tech 8' boots, but so does everyone and they have no trouble...
Let me know what you think, any advice will be appreciated!
Thanks.
