You HAVE to sort you suspension out, and even with only 50hp you will run rings round bigger bikes.

I once watched an open 400 race which was won by a 125. Bloody impressive considering some of the 400's were making over 80hp.

And as for not checking tyre pressure... you are a daft bugger and lucky not to have crashed!
