I put a finger or two on the brake lever to stable and have more control of the thoutle. I can pull the front brake without having to reach for it as well.

Hey dale, thanks for sharing! So are you saying that having a finger on the front brake gives you better control of the throttle?

[@dalehess6265]

@@MotocrossHideout makes it easier to maintain the throttle position for me but I'm not expert.

[@crisibarra6850]

I do the same!! Dirtbike throttles are suuuuuper sensitive compared to other types of motorcycles so keeping your index finger on the front brake lever helps keep your whole hand (wrist) stable and your throttle control will be much smoother

[@MotocrossHideout]

Gotcha, yeah that makes sense to me. What about if you accidentally give it too much gas or happen to get bounced back towards the rear of the bike and can't reach the front brake in time?

@@MotocrossHideout I guess I would hold on tight and try to ride it out. My bike is really only jerky in first gear on the edge of giving it gas and letting off the gas. Sometimes I ride slow in second gear and let it bog a little to get rid of the jerkiness. I watch your videos and try everything you say as well. I think you are an awesome teacher. Please keep the videos coming.
