Get a longer swingarm, practice holeshots and mess with gearing

theres plenty of ways you can keep the front end down....put some marvin shaws on the front of it...put some aluminum struts...longer swing arm...wheelie bar...sit on the gas tank as well when you take off..

Must lean forward!

Turn rebound damp. all the way on (hard). This will help keep the front down.

Bars (struts) are the best. but then you need better tires to hook.

If your YFZ has so much low end power, I would start out in second gear.

Try slipping the clutch alittle and just alittle less throttle. Also sit as far forward as possible. Lower the front end to.
