What do I need to start experimenting with to get it to handle well. Like I said, too much bite. I had to let completely off the throttle in the turns not to flip it. What can I do shock wise to help? Do I start with the right side? I am completely clueless where to begin. I have plenty of speed. Now I need handling. Thanks for the guidance.
for too much bite... a simple trick is to put electrical tape on the outside edge of your front tires.
