Question: Did you run normal air pressure
in your tires or did you let some out?
I run about 25psi in the rear; the front around 28. I would like to run much lower pressures but I'm afraid of turning a tube and ripping a valve stem. I suppose rim locks and better quality tubes would alleviate this.

I'm no experienced dirt rider either. This is my first motorcycle; before this I was strictly an ATV rider. There is a lot more planning and skill involved when trail riding on 2 wheels and I have much to learn. Couple that with 'questionable' tires and it was hair-raising to say the least.

For my next 'serious' off-road outing:

- new chain
- new tires
- rim locks and quality tubes
- practice!
