Your arms will KILL ... left arm normally hurts the most
Called arm pump and you will also fall off. lots
Yet you will still have fun

Heya. I ride a Honda CR250R on a private track.
Make sure you eat about 3 bannas 1 hour before you ride. This will reduce arm pump.
Dont use the front brake hard, or while leaning, as the front will go down very quick. (wipe-out)
Try to use 2nd gear for most of the track. This is hard to stall, and gives good speed/power for most types of offroad.
Good luck. Dont try be a hero, go slow and get good.
And have fun! it will be great ____________________ Big Kawasaki ZXR 400 project here:

i usually fire around a private track on my 175, your arms will kill you (3 bannanas or not ) and you will fall off, probably quite a few times. Depending on weather conditions and the gearing of your bike you might want to avoid mudpatches.....and trees, if its your first time out. Final peice of advice is USE the front brake, the majority of your braking power should come from the front offroad *says the guy with no front brake*. Most importantly HAVE FUN! ____________________ Will work for petrol

Method is right. Dont touch the front brake or you WILL go down. |
