All joking aside, Are most of you guyz clutching it up real quick in 1st gear to get it up quick ???
I can clutch up my 1k in 1st no problem. Every 12 I have seen on vids it appears that the clutch is used.
Of course my 1k will come up in 1st without the clutch but i find that I am going to fast to even attempt a 12........
Thoughts??? Opinions ???? Advice ????

btbmatt , if you have a round contact piece(peice of pipe), you dont hav to worry about the angle.
SMURFKILLA , my gsxr1000 is geared down and i can lift it straight up in 1st at like 4mph with no clutch without gaining much speed at all. try doing it standing and give it a little bounce so it'll come up at a lower rpm.

I can power mine up from damn near a stand still but use the clutch to get it up quick and predictable.

120clock's
To those who do 12's dose 2 down in the front and 3 up in the rear sound OK I think it's to jerky in 1st but I have been doing them in 2nd and geting to 11:45 and can go all the way but get scared and wobbley as hell some times,is that why beacuse 2nd gear?would frist be better for me to use ?
Should I renforce my sub frameI heard they are kinda weak and dont want to brake it like Joe Brown did ? for a gixxer 750 that would help for ya to know !!!!!
thanks....

SMURFKILLA, im running 2 down and 5 up. i like this combo cuz i can still keep the stock chain. i try and keep my bike street legal cuz i do alot of riding , and with this setup i can still do freeway speeds , i think it tops out at like 130. but its hard to say since the speedo is off. cruises fine at 80mph in 6th at like 6,000rpm.

Hey Infamy
2 down and 5 up ?? Man that is some serious stunter gearing for the 1K. I do like the fact that you keep the stock chain but damn that bike must jump up in neutral....
Does anyone know what is the max sprocket size I can go up in the back with 1 down in the front yet keep the stock chain??

i just learned to scrape and i am geared one down in front.the easiest way for me is to just keep your throttle steady and adjust your hight with the brake it won't be so jerky.i was a little worried about bustin **** up to but it is the price you gotta pay(havent biffed yet)knock on wood

There is no need for a bar unless you are doing on the bar tricks, or u want to park your **** and leave it standing or by some strange chance you get good enough to put your foot in it and do circles and no handers
learning to 12 with a 10 inch bar is garbage
drop your tire to 15 psi, put your foot on the back brake, grow some ***** and pop a clutch
ant mist, Nick Hill, and Skillz (gil) are some of the best riders around and yall act like they are stupid for saying dont use a bar

the plastic has more give to it it dosen't just grab like a bar would. i would rather scrape plastic than scrape bar it sounds alot cooler. and first gear is the way to go to scrape. if you think your gonna go over just hit the rear brake it will bring you back. but always check your brakes before you try to scrape make shure they work.

The cage rocks. I crashed 2 nights ago pretty hard & no broken covers. The bike fliped over on both sides. Broke 2 bolts on the cage but didn't brake a cover. Paid for itself that one time if you ask me. Broke a rear set though..
I did learn 12's With OUT a bar. Good for a few reasons. One being you KNOW you went all the way back when you hit tail. 2. Being that if you have a bar on, come back crooked which happens some times, hit a corner of the bar - its gonna send you for a serious ride. Where as if you hit the tail crooked, ur ok. My advice, would be to learn w/ out a bar. If you want to do bar tricks, then weld one up after.
GOOD LUCK!!!!!

He's right ya know. I do have a bar on, but its for bar tricks, not for learning 12's. I learned that w/out a bar, but with a cage, and thats what I recommend people to learn with, but after you have your 12's down, a bar is just the next step.
