In addition to riding my 125 i started to ride a 250. Worlds of difference between the 2 bikes. The 250 doesnt handle as well as the 125. THe question is when im going through a hard pack corner or over a jump or on slick ground ( on the 250 ) i have to drag the rear brake constantly to keep the bikes rear wheel from over spinning and sending me sideways. I dont slam on the rear brake but just drag it enough to keep me in line. I do this sometimes on my 125 but the 250 i am constantly on the rear brake. After about 1 hour of riding today my rear disk was changing colors from exess heat, and i could start to hear the brakes squeek. Im only 5'3 and 135 lbs so im kinda a smaller guy for a 250. Does any one else have this issue. or do you guys just use technique to keep the bike in line ?
Any tips ??
