    That should help, Of course handling will be affected and turning is out of the question.

    Glad to be able to help

    Ps. I am not being mean to fat people as I am not exactly skinny.....just trying to be a comedian........I know I suck. :-)
    Haha... good one

    pull the fork up a few mm in the clamp. What size are your rear tires? Something isn't right here

    And shock blowouts may occure.




    Also does anyone know how much horsepower an ATC 70 has? I rode one of those so it must have had like -18 hp.

    guys, its a general assumption, no you dont minus it out its not really like taking the horsepower away its hard to explain, most of the top drag racers from funny cars to street cars have heard this. i have toys like a skateboard with a weedeater motor on it with probbly 2 hp & it goes i did not say small motors will not carry a large adult. but a 5 yr old kid weighing in at 40 lbs on a honda 50 would dust a 200 lb man on the same bike, do some of you kind of understand what i am saying, that assumption is to a point not to the sarcastic point of negative horsepower and some people forget torque, a whole different story.. mabye that helps carry you with - hp

    I've heard of it before but it's a mathmatical formula that uses percentages. Weight to horsepower ratios and what not.
