Default RE: Just got Nouva nitro , need help !

It's the nature of these things that there will always be a problem or 2. Most things you can adjust, but adjusting one thing to make one thing better usually means something else doesn't work so well. But hopefully you've got a good starting point. The main thing is to practice, practice. Preferably on the same track then you can see the improvements.
If you watched the onboard camera videos you'll have seen it flip over in the second vid and at the end of the rearview cam vid. This really is something to be avoided as major damage is nearly always the result! Notice the screen goes blank as soon as soon as it flips, this was the camera battery flying away from the bike, I found it 25 yards away! The resultant somersault left bent forks, bent swingarm, misaligned and bent chassis, flattened exhaust and broken steering damper. No fun.
With that NR15 I had to limit the carb opening to 44% (on the transmitter) to avoid flips. At this setting the front lifts a little and it makes 'controlled' wheelies easier.
Oh I'm rambling again.
