Less Engine Braking on 250f's

Post by tyskorn »

I'm sure it's been suggested before, but I wanted to make a new thread. :lol:
Is the feeling that the engine braking on them is so excessive due to the weight of them or something? It kinda sucks that the back end slides around so much because I think they would be super fun to ride if it didn't. It might just be me too, but I think the engine braking is too much and should be changed to work more like the 450s.

This would be nice...Although, I do have 1 tip. Pull in the clutch, and stay in a higher gear.

Love the idea. The equal "stable" feel of the 450 on the 250f but with the same power delivery as it is would be awesome! The only thing I don't like about the 250f is how much it slides out all the time.

Yeah the 250F has major slide out issues. Let off the gas in the wrong spot and its certain death.

I just learn to not downshift until I'm in the corner.

I don't get why it feels like 125's have more engine braking than 450's though. Maybe it's just something in my head.

All I ride is 250f's,and yes I do slide round a bit but I'm used to it now.....A little more traction would be perfect coz I don't like the 450's that much,I'm a OG lol
