Help Swapped From Gas Gas To 4Rt

Went to ketton quarry trial today on the back of macctrials last night so fair bit of time riding the last couple of days

Had a heavy rain shower and it turned the place into thick gloop, the sort that stops the front wheel turning

So I thought well nows the time to get stuck in and just ride

Lots of throttle weight back and off you go , even made the fatal mistake of hesitating and the bottom of a steep slippy climb , not to worry , loads of throttle weight back , yep it gripped went into outer space landed twisted the forks in the yolks and other bits of superficial damage

But on the upside I'm pretty happy now I know it will grip as well as most other stuff

If you give it plenty of stick and have faith

The only thing I've got to learn now is not to panic and keep it under control when I reach the top of a hill at 300 mph

But I'm sure that'll come with time

Good to hear things are going the right way.

Took me several months especially on the slippery stuff. One thing you can do once the bike is straight and rolling and clutch is pretty much out is be really aggressive with the throttle.

I think then weight back and having faith I think is the biggest thing to overcome.

Rolling off the throttle as Mr Sunter says when hanging off the back half way up a slippery bank is a hard mind set to change but once confident its a good feeling

Line her up, build up the revs, clutch out smoothly then big hand full of throttle, wait for it to grip on the over run then blip blip clean out the top.

I have found that I find myself crouching into the bike when on a big blast/muddy climb etc. I think its now an amalgamation of weight back and C of G as low as possible so when the grip comes the front isn't facing the sky.

stick with it buddy
