when your corning and your bike tips up on its 2 side wheels what is the best way to fix that.i have always added air pressure but i want to know if there is a way to do it with your shock set up or should i just keep doing it with air pressure. thanks for your info

There are a few ways to fix this.


#1 change you riding style.Lean more,Slide the rear around the corner,etc,etc.


#2 you can get some aftermarket wheels withmore off-set.Make your bike a little wider.


#3 Get some wider A-arms and axle.This will of course make your bike wider and give alot more stabilty.You will probably need new front shocks due to the extra leverage of the longer A-arms.



That is all I can think of.Of course you probably choose the first choice because it is cheapest.Plus it will make you a better rider.

Increase the amount of preload on the shock or if it's adjustable add some compression.

half of getting out of a corner is preparing when you go in. Get your arse on the inside of the corner and let the throttle rip. You'll get through it.

Have you tried adjusting the camber (I think that is the adjustment I am thinking of). This is where when you look at the wheels from the front, the tops of the wheels are leaned inward. I'm not sure how far you can angle them before you cause damage. I have a buddy that used to race MX and did this to his. I'll see if I can get ahold of him and find out how far you can go.
