Try having someone who knows about suspensions set the bike up for you (unless you already have)...not just a buddy who's tweaked before...someone who knows what they're doing.

 

One REAL common mistake is when you start getting nervous down low is to back off the throttle. This makes things worse because it actually loads up the front tire. Its counter-intuitive but sometimes picking up the throttle a little will steady the bike and actually let you get lower.

 

+1 to that.....i hate gettin real low cuz i dont trust the damn pavement...ill almost knee down then you see gravel and ****...or the turn condenses...

 

getting low used to scare me till i got my qualifiers, but i havent been low in months[>:]
