Hello people, i'm running a 86' 250R. 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.

 

I know the feeling too, get used to it. the wheel is almost never on the ground. I have a 330 on mine. what tires are you using, if you have the stock that could be a big reason why, get 20" holeshots, 14t front sprocket and it won't wheelie as much. I've found that 14/39 works great for low end and decent top end, right now I'm using 14/38. the stock sprockets make it a ridiculas wheelie machine, get a 14t sprocket and 20" tires it will be alot more managable, also you have to sit all the way up on the seat and push on the bars on hills and fast take offs. Now I have 18" tires and its very controllable, turns awesome and the front stay reasonably close to the ground.

 

LOL, trust me after a while you will get used to it.

 

lean foward, thats what we all do..

 

That is a good thing [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img].............Alot of people wish they had your situation [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] "deathman53" is correct in the fact; play with your gearing and tires to make the trike correct for your riding style. Just remember no matter where your front wheel is, keep your head on your shoulders[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
