you need to add more teeth back on the rear.... lighter rollers with 2000rpm clutch springs... is a start

or does she have MX experience & is ready for this "tight track " ?
IMO alot of times the answer to better riding / performance is
good pointers,encouragement &
... seat time , seat time & more ... seat time

:D that may be it ,she had a 90 trx ,couldnt keep up so i bought what all the boys were running ,she does good one race and top4 then next time last! what do ya do!!??? lol

definately sounds like she just needs more seat time but there is also alot of fime tuning you can do with the clutch when she is ready.

Go back to stock sprocket and just try lighter rollers,we also race on tight mx tracks and once she gets more seat time she will pinn it,just watch the temp. on the rear clutch the springs may wear out faster

what do ya do ?.. as much as you can !!!...girls who want to race can be awesome ,...so keep standing behind her & she will surprise you sooner or later

..well she is definitely on a faster "racer" type machine than a mostly stock trx90 (assuming that what it was)..so I am sure there will be a transition time ,in my experience 2- 3 months of riding at least twice a week ,.. & being a 2 stroke w/more snap is also probably somewhat imtimadating for her also ..
.. she obviously has the racer attitude from what I am reading ..so give it time & she will come around ..



something else to consider ..let her see & run with some faster riders for practicing purposes then she will want to keep up & things will happen sooner from seeing & doing with the faster kids ..than riding alone (if she does ) ...for practice etc

BTW all these lil things worked well for my "lil racer" who is also a very competitive little GIRL ,...who also rides & races MX on KTM bikes & APEX quads .. with the boys ..

on a sidenote ,..I have noticed the girls who really want to race(vs being pushed into it ) sometimes feel they something to prove to the boys ,..so they are almost always
self motivated.

& just in case & maybe for more motivation check this thread of another girl racer on a APEX ;)
