shooting out of turns

[islandsurfer]

When I raced last weekend I couldn't shoot out of a turn like I needed to... I bought the the SHEE used so I am learning more about each time I clean and ride it... I noticed it has a 17 tooth front, what should I go to to help me out...17 front 42 rear and 22"tires... I want to be able to pull harder on the lower side because the track I frequent is a tight track and I ride a few trails too... Thanks

when you were coming out of the turns was ur but half on the seat and half on the fender to the back. i find this helps me out quite a bit.

umm, you should probably lower the gears. like to a 14 or 15 tooth front. thatd give you MUCH better low end.

it will help tons. the tires are a little on the large side too, but those are expensive so try out the sprocket first.

Nobody races mx with 22 rears ,get 18 or 19s . your new sprocket will make you think you just added another cylinder when it comes to acceleration.You will be shifting more on the straights.good luck and chew up some 4 pokes.

I now have 14, 41 and it makes a huge difference...I love the way it pulls...Now I am goin to save up for tires... Thanks everyone for the help

When you come out of the corner give it a little bit of clutch floor it and let go of the clutch. You also should get some 18 inch tires and a 13 or 14 tooth front sprocket.

Wonder if I have enough power to go that fast???

You definately have a gearing issue but you could also work on your suspension and ridding skill... read this post on late braking into a corner!

When all that's done a lighter flywheel will help also. It allows you to brake later be there is less stored energy to push you. You have to be careful coming out of the corners though because the revs can come up to fast and cause the tires to sping to much.
