My first Yamaha was an 04 YZ250. Before that I was a bit of a Honda Fan. Now I have myself a brand new 07 YZ250. I have a question for all you YZ riders. Why is the back shock so harsh when it hits something at high speed. I've now had to turn down the "High Speed" clicker on my 07, like I had to do on my 04. Hopefully it sorts it out like it did on my 04.....What I'm talking about is the way, the one minute you're on the bike, the back hits, kicks up and sideways and you're right off. Came down face first on Sunday because of this. Cleared the front over a smallish ditch at about 80KM/h, but the back caught the lip kicked out in a spilt second. Not even old Travis Pastrana could have recovered from this.
Have any of you experienced this?, is turning down the HS COMP clicker the right way to calm it down?
PS, slowing rebound down only slightly helps at these high speed kickers.
