i used to ride my crf450r7 in the real tirght snoty stuff, never really had much of a problem with it stalling, some of the stuff i used to play in was 1st gear in tight trees.

Yep you're right! Basically I'm just trying to smooth out the power a bit esp in the low geared stuff. It's not so much stalling it, its more launching the bike when I take off and me flying off the back! I know I have a lot to learn but think this bike is going to teach me heaps, where as I could get away with murder on the 230! Apart from that I am loving this bike, so light and nimble!

Oooh, I will have a look for this thread Oldguy, sounds intriguing

Yep, same here. Im use to riding motorbikes but stalled mine a few times when i first got it, first seemed like it was impossible to not stall it.

It took a while to get use to it and everyone of my mates kept giving me crap because i kept stalling.

Tables turned when they all had a go and everyone of them stalled it more then once! ahaha!

At least i learnt how to kick it over good and proper first kick with all my stalling lol!

I concur, put weights in both chias and my 250s, heaps better for trails and tight stuff..

At the wknd i did my 1st farm trail ride which was greasy as in the morn. My gearing is higher than standard which generally i like but found on the greasy grass the rear wheel would spin on slight rises & some grass hills i'd end up stalling part way up (this was later when dry). Big part is i'm learning & don't have good clutch control. I've ridden a CR80 with Std gearing & found it too low.
Looking at options now. Could make gearing inbetween std & what mine is now, or just learn to ride harder, or have 2 sets of sprockets & change depending on the ride or there's flywheel weight which i know stuff all about.
Would a flywheel weight on a CR80 make much difference?
Suggestions people??? I don't really know much about these things.

A weighted flywheel effects the power delivery by slowing the rate at which the revs build, thus smoothing the power, what you want for slippy stuff. also the exta inertia of the spinning weight means it will resist stalling better. I had one on a CR 250, it turned it into a tractor, easy topull low revs witm max traction.

Would it have much effect on a CR 80? Would I be better to lower the gearing slightly? the CR80 i was riding with has std gearing & didn't have the problem i did. On the open stuff i love the gearing as is
