Hiyall! I need some advice on how to help the handling for my 14 year old son's Kauma Falcon 150. It's great on smooth trails, but throw in a few rocks and you better hold on to the bars real tight. I put a longer set of handlebars on when we bought this because the factory ones are just a little short. It helped it handle noticeably better, but it still needs help. I've heard in these forums about using wheel spacers, but does it add stress to the hubs at all? Last thing I need is to break one on our rocky Penna trails. I was thinking a little larger tire/wheel combo also. Anyone have any advice to save my kid's arms?

 

A few things that will help alot is a bigger name brand tire. The stock tires are very stiff so just changing the tire will help and going bigger will help even more. Wheel spacers will help alot because they make the suspension work easier. If it is the single a arm setup you can get a suspension upgrade from Jetmoto. They have better adjustable shocks with longer a arms and tie rods. But if you dont want to spend that much the tires and spacers will work wonders. You can even call John at Raceway and see what shocks he can get to fit the falcon.

 

Thanks for the info 2manytoys. It has dual A-arms and I think you are right, Bigger name brand tires and wheel spacers will help alot.

 

I put bigger name brand tires on out yamoto 110 and it helps alot. Still stiff but not near as stiff.
