I'll try bringing it into better balance with stickier compound in front, or maybe even a 120/70 front.
if you are on the 250, one thing to consider about going faster is that there is more rotating mass on bigger tires, the fastest guys at Chuckwalla are running a 120 rear and 95 front.

by the way do you ever make it to Chuckwalla?
