06 YZ 250 Turning Help

[Yama19]

I have trouble turning and staying in ruts. Everytime I get on the gas the bike tries to wheelie out of the berm I'm constantly having to fight it. I've raised the forks and lowered the front forks compression and other tips I could try?

[Demon]

offset triple clamps?

[nine7ate]

could be your suspension. do u have it set up for you? did they do aftermarket pressure springs? (not fork springs, pressure springs for your forks)

[MotoSquid]

Soften your rear compression 2 clicks.

gain weight?
Don't square off corners?
Ride a gear higher through every corner?
I ride a 250f so your problem doesn't occur to often with me, I just know that when i ride my buddies 450 that crap will happen to me.

Make sure the suspenders are set up for your weight, riding style etc..
After tthat if it is still standing up in the corners go with the offset triple clamp

Thanks guys, I'm going out to practice this afternoon I'll try playing with some of the stuff.

Before messing with your suspension, do you have the stock sneakers? If so, dump them and get some good rubber. Make sure you sit in the front of the bike, and take it easy on the throttle.

Smooth, steady throttle application is key on snappy 250's..... and get up on the tank, outside leg tight, inside leg off the ground, elbows up... should help keep the front end and bike settled.

Make sure your suspension is set up properly. Yamahas tend to go in a straight line really well, but you have to make them turn yourself. I used to set up my YZ125s with about 95mm of rear sag, and that helps transfer a little weight bias forward for more front wheel bite. I run about 104mm on my '06 YZ250 though.
Try sliding up a little farther in the turns and really lean that baby over. Most of the time, you can make it happen yourself and the straight-line stability will pay off in addition.
