FRONT END DIVE

Post by TREBELkid »

okay i was wondering if anyone knows how to stop the front end dive.i already know about the lean forward then lean back when on the face of a jump,i play with a keyboard so it feels fine when hitting jumps but when i hit the whoops i keep diving forward and when i lean back my bike loses control and i end up falling off the track :x

if you know how to fix this please help me

thankyou :D

What i do is lean back once in a while on the whoops, i dont play keyboard but thats what i do. If that doesnt work then it can be your setup or rider setup

Check your rider mass distribution. Some riders like it all the way up at 0.50, I like it in the 0.3's for bumpy tracks and around 0.44 for supercross. Just experiment with that, might help.

You can change your mass distribution but you can also change your suspension so the front bounces up more.
Lower your front damping and/or stiffen up the compression or spring rate a bit. You could also do the opposite with the back which might help.
Maybe play with forward spring too
