[QUOTE="FruDaddy, post: 1059797, member: 63076"] I seldom get above 4th on my KX250, a lot of track can be ridden really hard in 3rd or 4th. Unfortunately, I am slow. Don't worry about what others think is slow, what is important is that you are having fun. If you are comfortable in third, be there, faster will come in time. As far as the front brakes go, get the feel for them. Gradually grab harder until you feel the rear lifting. Then you will know the threshold. When it starts to come up, you can either let off a little, or lean back. I have taken a KX65 all the way over, and it was quite funny. I ended up on my chest with the bike balanced above my back, supported by my legs. I found myself trying to figure out how to put it down without hurting it (or me). Now, I wish somebody had a camera running. I tend to use more rear brake, although I know I shouldn't, and am working on more front. My son, on the other hand, is almost exclusive to the front brake. Many people think he's fast, nobody is impressed by my riding inability. [/QUOTE]
