Just wandering if there are any "lightweight" Baja riders out there??Okay if so do any of you have a problem staying on the seat of your ds at high speeds? What am I doing wrong? While going at a pretty good speed I seem to actually rise off of the seat.Just got to hang onto the handgrips a bit tighter that's no problem because it's actually quite a rush , just curious if any one else has this happen or am I ridin' this thing all wrong?

Wish I had that problem.

You can check your SAG on your shocks to make sure you don't have the set to hard. Other than that, I think its perfectly normal to come off the seat at high speeds over bumps.

Okay to make this even better, bumps aren't the problem.I'm talking straight smooth pavement driving.I know your thinking I'm crazy here but it's true .I could try the shocks but that probably wouldn't help for that would it ?

I knew this would create a haha for ya! Actually I do feel like I should be in a good cartoon. My husband has even suggested ankle weights ( Good haha for him to 'cause now I'm not letting him drive it any more!)

Okay just so I was accurate , I measured up and weighed myself in. The results are 5'3" and 110 . So should I go to the beach and fill my boots with sand or what?

Ya know those lead vests they make you wear for X-rays? Go get one of those. It'd keep you in your seat, protect you, and give you an extra workout all at the same time!

DAMN!!! you can do a couple of things here.....



1) you can where steel toed boots(fill with sand,and water)

2) start eating, and put some meat on those bones!![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

3) and this is probably the cool thing to do, Put a spoiler on your helmet to creat some drown draft, thus forcing your butt in the seat. LOL.
