[QUOTE="BigYZ, post: 1393236, member: 32553"] I just picked up an 05 CRF 150 to mess around on. I took it out yesterday and the thing scares me. Feels like I'm constantly fighting the bike to keep it upright cornering. The front end just wants to wash out. It finally got me coming over a nice size mound heading into a slight right hander.(second time I crashed in this exact situation, mound to right hander) The ground was bone dry and hard pack. The tire slid out and there I was on the ground and in pain, nothing serious but it did hurt quite a bit. Now, I have riden for years and years, and I have never had a bike want to wash out so much. I'm 6' tall and 175 pounds. Would you guys agree that the stock forks are not up to task? I ride pretty aggressively but only plan on trail riding this bike. Do you think the forks being so soft are contributing to the bike wanting to wash out? And more importantly what can I do about it? I've heard of guys doing the PVC inserts with heavier oil. Will this help or would I need to re-valve the forks to really make a difference. Basically, I'm asking you guys to help me understand and fix the wash out issue. It's not that fun to ride when you're scared you're going to crash all day. I've crashed plenty, but I don't like to sudden and unpredictable nature of these last couple crashes. Any advise would be very much appreciated. [/QUOTE]
