IF YOUR BIKE IS TIGHT IT HAS A PROBLEM WITH TURNING! YOU TURN YOUR TIRES LEFT BUT IT KEEPS GOING STAIGHT! OR,WHEN YOU COME OF THE CORNER AND THE BIKES TENDS TO DRIVE ITSELF TOWARD THE WALL. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP IT IS TO GET OUT OF THE GAS! (THAT IS WERE THE TERM TIGHT ON THROTTLE COMES FROM!) TIGHT ON ENTRY IS WHEN YOU SET THE BIKE AND IT WANTS TO BICYCLE OR BITE TOO HARD ON THE REAR TIRE!

IF YOU ARE LOOSE,THE QUAD TENDS TO SPINOUT! IT DOESN'T HAVE GOOD TRACTION OR FORWARD BITE! THE QUAD WOULD ALSO HAVE A LOT OF WHEEL SPIN!

THE KICKER OF IT ALL IS THIS, IF YOU ADJUST YOUR QUAD BECAUSE OF ONE THING MAYBE TO HELP IT GET INTO THE CORNER! THAT SAME ADJUSTMENT EFFECTS HOW IT COMES OF THE CORNER! SOMETIMES THE ADJUSTMENT THAT IS NEEDED, IS FOR THE RIDER TO CHANGE HOW THEY ARE ENTERING THE CORNER!

THE ONLY ADJUSTMENTS THAT CAN BE MADE AFTER THE RACE STARTS IS, THE RIDER ADJUSTING TO THE SET-UP (WHETHER THE SET-UP IS GOOD OR BAD) SO THAT THE RIDER AND QUAD HAVE THE BEST CHANCE TO WIN!
