It's been a love hate relationship for ma and the SX125. I love the motor, but as I got faster, the chasis started to give me a hard time.
Bruised and losing confidence, I put a call out for a steering damper, and like the batsignal, my call was answered by a lister with a mint GPR at a bargain price. I mounted it up and started practicing at my local spot to build my cofidence and adjust to the new set-up.
Yesterday I took her to the scene of so many wipeouts, Crow Hill. I started out easy and dialed the damper in to the conditions. 2.5 on the dial was the magic setting. I got down to business and starting tackling the jumps that had given me so much grief. It was soooo much more fun landing and being able to steer/brake as opposed to wrestling with headshake. I even started practicing my whips a little.
I tried not to let my exuberance get me carried away and called it quits while I was ahead. Zero crashes, and I was able to put together sections that I had no chance at before. Can't wait to go back. I did film some laps and maybe Dave will post one up?!
