Whats good everyone, I am very new to stunting, I have always rode dirtbikes and quads so I am very comfortable on a bike but I have just recently gotten a 1999 Yamaha R6 that I would like to turn into a stunter I can have as a daily rider. Any advice, help, comments???

 

I'd suggest getting a good rear tire and a sick innovations cage. Other then a good rear tire to make sure that's not holding you back and a cage to protect the bike you don't really NEED any other parts. Learn smooth throttle control and most important of all rear brake. Rear brake if used correctly can pretty much open your game to a load of tricks or also save your ***. Look at this pic this guy goes this far back (purposely) and is able to bring it back with the rear brake.

 

^^^good point.

My advice would be to spend a GOOD amount of time on here searching and browsing and all the answers you're looking for are already here just need to find them. Start slow but practice hard. Don't kill yourself out there but go home sore.

LISTEN TO THE OG's they know their ****.

And don't even start if you are not prepared to destroy your bike and possibly get hurt in the process.

 

trade it for an f4i!

where in atl are you?

 

you will definitely need to learn the rear brake, i've been practicing lately just bringing the bike up and bringing it back down with the brake. Learn to smoothly come up and down, because if you just "pop" it up and come back down you will smash your ******* nuts.

 

+1 i would try and trade your r6 for a f4i. i never rode a r6 but my f4i is tough and i heard that the r6's break easily

 

I live near North side of Atlanta. I would trade my R6 for an F4I but I already have a lot of money and time into my R6 and plus I am fond of Yamaha's, that's all I've rode. So I am gunna stick with my R6, but can anyone tell me the "basic set up" for a street legal stunt bike? I know the crash cage, 12 bar, denting gas tank, rear brake lever, what sprocket set up would you go with and is there anything that I am missing?

 

if your gonna stick with the r6 just get a crash cage no need for anything else. until u can ride idle. just my

 

yeah the first thing i got was a cage, then i did some modifications, now i ordered a 12 bar, want to get a subframe next, and then just tear the **** out of it.

 

+1 im just learning and not very good but i read on here like religiously every night for advice and whatnot :YEAH

 

On your R6 you should be able to go to a 14 in the front and up to a 50 in the rear, but if your going to keep it a daily driver dont **** with the gearing too much.. personally Id go 1 down in the front and one up in the back or 2 up in the back.. when you put them new sprockets on get the 520 conversion, its only about 30 bucks more and it gets rid of that heavy *** 532 stock chain..
keep an extra clutch on hand, and like they said get a good rear tire, your gonna need it.. Im stunting a 96 Yamaha FZR 600, it was **** when i first started, they dont make any cage, 12 bar, or dampers for my bike either so i play it old school
