Re-assembling the rear linkage...

<< < (2/2)

Paul:
I've got the same shim setup you've got, as far as whippin' it out there... My next dune trip will have a better one :wink:

teamgreen500:
Actually,

The "Whip" is real nice. You'll need a ramp that allows you to swing over and turn on your downward side. I look forward to watchin' ya pull it off!

Paul:
It's easier on my nephews 250 than it is on this thing, the gyro effect of that huge crank is hard to overcome at times  :roll:

Rick:
Whip it???   :shock:   Not me!  Over the years, the boys have taught me (mostly though taunting) how to jump, but I'm not real happy getting a lot of air.  While jumping skills are necessary to race at a quick pass (especially down hill blind jumps), I am happy and content to jump in a straight line and land with the gas on.   :wink:   The bike does tend to have a natural whip to the throttle side, but not 'cause I'm tryin'.  

I love to watch folks go over the big jumps, and have lots of pictures of the boys doing tricks in the air, but I guess I started riding too old.  My straight line jumps may not look as cool, but the net effect is the same...the rear wheel on the ground on the landing ramp and the gas on.   Still would like to pull off one whip before I die, but unfortunatly might be the only one I ever did... :lol:

NastyNick:
Rick:  I agree with you wholeheartedly.  My kid can whip is kx125 like no tomorrow, but I prefer to land in one piece, so I keep mine straight.  Maybe someday....
