Help

I recently ran a race, it was super muddy but more slick than anything. Seems like all of us were having trouble but me the most. it felt like my front was going to slideout every second. I was wondering if any of this had to do with my weight. im 110 pounds riding a cr125r everything is set right on it but maybe i slideout easy than others because theres not that much weight on the bike? true or not?

if you havent alrerady you should put softer springs in it, and when conditions get like that you should probly decrease the rebound damping on the front end to allow it to push into the ground harder and you can get some grip

i live in missouri. however are you sure the suspension is set up for your weight, including sag adjustments. mud is a weird substance to ride on, you kinda just have to flow with it. try not to steer to hard in the mud. and when you go in for a hard turn its tricky balancing not digging in vs. getting a grip.
