Hi there, I am an older female rider. Got into motorbikes at the ripe age of 42. I ride a dual purpose 250cc 4-stroke bike, and I love adventuring riding. My husband is in the process of lowering a KDX to satisfy my need to experience the joys of riding a dirt bike. It has a pro-circuit pipe so is definitely more peppy than anything else I have ridden.
I have been on it, on absolute tippy toes, a few times, enough to get used to the throttle and attempt some of the easier twisties out at the river. My hope is that once it is lowered I will be able to kick it over myself, and to get confident enough to do organised trail rides on it.
Would you mind please giving me the heads up as to what are the main differences I should be prepared for in going from a 4-stroke to a 2-stroke with a procircuit, especially when it comes to hills. I tend to go downhill super cautiously, so do I need to worry if I am off the gas that the engine will stall and the wheels lock? This has happened to me on my 4-stroke and it is not a feeling I enjoy! And going uphill, I would be keen to avoid the front wheel lifting, or accidentally getting air at the apex. Any pointers would be appreciated.
My husband is an experienced rider but is not always forthcoming with advice - drop em in the deep end and let em work it out for themselves LOL. This has actually been good in a number of respects. But I have a need to prove myself here, and I feel like I have already given the menfolk in my family enough opportunities to laugh at me.:nya:
Thanks!
