Default Can't keep it on the ground.

Does anyone know how I can keep the front tire on the ground. Every time I get a little to much traction, I have to let off.

Lean baby lean. Sit on the handle bars if you have to.

You can increase air pressure in the rear tires, or get some different tires that will slip more.
You can lower the ride height.
You can get an extended swing arm.
You can get a arms moved forward.
You can slip the clutch.

Yeah I used to have that problem with my pred...but you get used to it, just lean forward, elbows up and give it he!!. Ride'r in the air if you have to, but don't let off.

Thanks for the tip, I'll just lean in deeper then. I'll also try adjusting the tire pressure. Now that you mention it. The pressure might be a bit too low.
