Tight Turns

[iLIKEmud]

i just got my first bike a crf 150 and have had it a month and do lots of trails. i cant figure out how to whip the back end around to make a sharp turn

Lean it over and give 'er the goose, it'll come around.

drop er down a gear, pull in the clutch, lock up the rear brake, start the turn, 1/2 way thru the turn put er to the wood and drop the clutch :nod:

May have to put more weight than normal over the front to get the rear to slide. That bike has a poor rear brake and is down on power. Have to be aggressive...that bike won't do it for you like an mx bike.

Well are you comfortable with the bike yet? But everything these people said is good. You will need to be aggresive, a 150 four stroke isnt going to kick the back end out in normal riding conditions. Also, is it hard packed surface or soft, loose dirt/sand?

LoL....Don't try that on gravel unless you've had some practice... :)
