SpectraSVT:
My skill level,hmm, :-) I'm riding less then 2 years, but without any trainer (no chance to find a good trainer here:-( My opinion is - a bit experienced beginner.
Brake: my brake lever is soft (YZ250) on the beginning of movement, then harder. I tried different bikes (YZ125,250'03,RM250) and I think there is not a big difference.
jacobone:
when I get a full throttle my wrist is lower then palm. When I want to keep wrist and arm in one line (and full throttle) I have to overgrip. It is not comfortable and could be dangerous (I think). What is proper layout of arm, wrist and hand in riding phases - initial position, accel., braking, full throttle.....?
