Rough choppy exits of turns

1/31/2020 5:10pm Edited Date/Time 2/1/2020 1:19pm
At a race day and really struggling with the choppy parts of the track. Mostly on the exits of the turns when it’s choppy. Also when the track is still slightly turning and choppy. How do I get through this? Feel crap

Technique or suspension wise? I would start with speeding up the rebound on the rear shock. Try different stuff, trial and error. You need a pretty fast rebound on chopped tracks. Trax shocks deal with acceleration bumps really well.

As related to me by someone much faster, you need to get the weight onto the pegs and off of the seat when sections get really rough and choppy. Its probably going to take some practice time on unprepped tracks after a big weekend etc.

Yeah bro you gotta stand up and if it's slick and your getting wheel spin, especially if your on a 250f, click a gear.

Yep, like others have said, you need to be standing up using your legs.

I try to heavily weight my outside peg to the point it just lifts my bum off the seat. I can still keep my inside leg out for balance but it will transfer the weight to the pegs and suspension rather than the seat

Have someone film you and watch carefully on how your bike is reacting might help you with your suspension alittle bit

An often solution that is over looked. Ignore it, look ahead and keep your speed up as it'll soon will be behind you until the next lap and then repeat! Think forward - go forward

Push into the pegs, weight the pegs taking the weight off the seat and the bike works way better.

The biggest thing is not setting on the seat and make sure that you are not running out of gear. When you are in over rev the bike is not charging forward and it will deflect off the chop rather than charge through it.

Might need to either slow down or speed up rebound depending on where you are starting.
High speed compression can also play a part.
As other have said body position and weighting is also important. Try sitting further forward or back.
And actually fork set up can also play a part.

As stupid as it sounds, search for or create alternate lines.

Drag the brakes lightly as well.

So everything except low speed compression and a revalve? Copy. Grinning

Drag the rear brake
This is one of the worst things do when exiting corners. You want to be off the rear brake after the first 1/3 of the corner.

When exiting turns on a 2 stroke that had a big hole or bump, I found by accident that the bump would disappear if I was leaving the turn while slipping my clutch....true story

I sent my shock on my 98 cr to TooTech and the problem was gone. That was my number one complaint about any shock. I told him I did not want to feel the acceleration bumps and he fixed it.

turn the low speed compression on rear shock out more and then speed up the rebound in the rear will help follow the high frequency chatter more

Some basics

Are you on the gas and pounding through them or backing off intimidated? I have to make my self pound through them sometimes.

Suspension works better on the gas than it does coasting.
