Default help on the whoops

I am learning how to race quads and i seem to be having trouble through the whoops. Whenever i go fast the tail end of my bike seems to hop back and forth. Anyone have any tips?

Have you adjusted your suspension?

You need to slow down your rebound. Better yet, go out and get a set of PEP's for that ride. You will charge through the whoops then. He can convert the rear to ZPS also.

I had mine 2 clicks to the left (decreased) It helped at first, then some big whoops would toss my salad, so I've since gone 2 more clicks, I have a feeling another 2 clicks may be neccesary for me though.

Over the years I have ridden most all of the popular bikes. I have to say that the YFZ is THE best (stock) whoop machine I have ever ridden!! We took one out to Rasor (which is pretty whooped out in places), and as long as you stayed on the power, it floated along real nice.

More throtle...The YFZ in front of me this weekend went through the whoops on the rev-limiter VERY nicely...adjust your rebound like Ridley said...when are you going back to Marysville? When are you racing Cycleland?

What the hell do I know? That is why I have PEP's. I don't need to adjust them!
