[QUOTE="Pumpkinhead, post: 49997, member: 22141"] One thing that I am learning is the difference in the natural engine braking that the 4-stroke provided is no longer there. When i needed to slow down in the tight on my XR I would just kick down a gear. The 2-stroke will not lose little speed or momentum when you do this. You have to be careful with how much speed you are now carrying into your corners or you'll go right through them. You'll need to learn how to use the brakes a little differently. Sure the hit and speed is a blast...but if you're not careful when you first start out then it might bite you. Take some time to re-adjust to the different riding style cautiously. ------------------ (formerly XR44ME) Rick AMA Member NETRA Member '00 KTM 300 MX/C [This message has been edited by Pumpkinhead (edited 04-18-2001).] [/QUOTE]
