I forgot to ask if he running the hotter plug in this or if it’s  the stocker. If he’s lugging it in turns the extra fuel and low rpms with the hotter plug could cause the ash deposits wand make it feel even more sluggish. 




100 is pretty hot.  My AZ garage will have AC.


When you say you are running 75%on the pipe you actually are running like 40%.... or less. It’s ok, it’s a common misconception. You won’t be at 50-60% on the pipe for at least a year and your kid will beat you to it by 6months. When I was racing full time I would spend an entire practice day once a week just cornering. Why cornering? , because that’s where you lose speed and lose races and spend the most amount of time actually racing.  Keeping the throttle on while using the clutch and the brake to control traction suspension and steering (yes Virginia, you use the rear wheel to steer) is an art form long lost to today’s vet riders that like to square up corners and power out of corners because of their 450....  what really pisses them off (especially A riders:smirk:)is when your 12yrold basically stock 2stroke 250 blows the doors off them at the start and they can’t match your corner speed then call you a sandbagger because you embarrassed them.


In short get the video and use your kids 125 to practice corners once a week. You will see a difference in everything you do on the track once you start learning the proper cornering techniques.
