ive got a trx450r but it wheel spins constantly its all stock apart from a-arms axle and peps

i was thinking maybe because i only weigh 8 n half stone

I'd try tightening up your rear shock a bit, and sitting back a little farther on the seat.

You may want to think about some different rear tires, or try grooving your tamers.

tires wise this is what most people run over here on the mx tracks i race ive set the rear end to what the top man in europe told me

what about cdis?
or maybe i just need some weight

thanks for your help

One stone is 14 pounds so it would be 119lbs.

if you are desperate, you could try a shorter swingarm, maybe a half inch shorter would do the trick

put some holeshot mxr4's on the back of that and lean back more.

we just put a GT Thunder rear linkage on the 12hr bike last night. it was the first time i ever rode it, first time i ever rode a 450R. it is basically stock with GT Thunder revalved and sprung factory shocks and a sparks full exhaust w/K&N filter. talk about hooking up! it hooked up so well it kinda scared me at first, i wanted to put some worn out tires on it so it was a little more forgiving. we ranged from 140pds to 200pds and everyone was impressed.

cool ive just tried the holeshots they are pretty great i think
they seem to have solved it.

must be fast for you to need some give mines great standard at the minute
