Share your tips for setting up a good stuntbike

Post up what you've done to your stuntbike. Heres what I've done to mine.

-Motorcross footpegs from an XR80-
-PCV lines unhooked from airbox
-Engine fan wired on a switch
-Throttle housing secured. I ran a bolt through the housing and the handlebar
-Tips of clutch lever/brake lever cut off to not break the perch/master cyl
-shortened muffler packed with pink panther insulation for noise
-safety wired all bolts having to do with rear brake
-Oil Overfilled

-Bar set at 12 and angled not to plow
-Cage and or frame sliders hitting before engine case

-I removed the bolts that hold my radiator/oil cooler and replaced them with zip ties so they break before the radiator/oil cooler do.

-Mounting the clip ons under the top triple tree- allowing the forks to slide down an extra inch and a half to increase shock travel-I haven't dont this one yet.

Re: Share your tips for setting up a good stuntbike

changing fork position doesn't give you more suspension travel, if fork has 12cm, it has that always.

What it gives you is higher front, maybe easier to wheelie and less agressive front geometry which stabilises the front, less chance to tankslap.

Re: Share your tips for setting up a good stuntbike

how to set up a ghetto *** stunt bike


re-enforce the frame by welding 1/4 incdh thick aluminum behind the entire frame, fill in the little trianles in the main beams with 1/4 inch thick aluminum plate, beat the **** out of it and buy a new one (new to me) everyseason. lots of zip ties and a good tap and die set help. rhino liner the tank so you dont slide off during balanced spreaders. custom bungee cord seat holder, custom zip tie tail light mounts, cut stock pipe down 3 inches to avoid running that long bitch on the ground during 12's, a chain attatched to the triples and the key to hold it in during crashes, cut all the wiring you dont need, cap it off and tuck all the wireing under the tank(avoid searcing for that wire you ground down when you yard sailed it the night b4), rags around the leaking fork seals, cut brake and clutch lever down so you only use 2 fingers on them. turn fuel petcock so you can still get to it after you re-enforce the frame, 1 inch tall spacers under the tank mounts(after you dent the **** out of the tank it bends in the middle and knocks your air box off constantly...)

"re-enforce the frame by welding 1/4 incdh thick aluminum behind the entire frame,"

Add gas to motorcycle. Use key to turn on said motorcycle. Ride around town popping clutch every 3 seconds on said motorcycle.

..... return said motorcycle to owner!

naw, you can see it from the back, you just put zip ties in place of the screws, when you need to add, you cut the zip ties and tip it back. besides unless you have something seriously wrong, you shouldnt loose antifreeze anyways. i never have
