Just picked up an 02 XR50 with

-BBR big bar kit, black triple
-50 stunt pegs
-Street tire on the rear
-Headlight kit
-Red Baron Graphics kit
-IMS Shifter
-Heavy Duty front and Rear springs

Have a few questions.

What type of oil do I put in the thing? Any real important maintenance issues need to be addressed? Is there service manuals out there somewhere (nudge nudge)? How the hell do you wheelie one of these? I thought there was a clutch for some reason so is it pretty much power wheelies with a little jerkin of the bars? Is it worthwhile getting the manual clutch kit?

I tried searchin but came up with a ton of irrelevant results so if anyone can help me out id appreciate it!!

 

ride it. itll come to you quickly.

 

manual clutch kits suck bro. what you could do is when you shift up in first hold the lever up so that its in nuetral then rev it up and let it go, pops right up. but yeah its pretty much power wheelies and playin with the rear brake.

 

hm i did staggered standups okay but sitdowns were hard as ****


guess i just need practice

how do people do highchairs, etc?

 

practice. i couild do okay highchairs before the big bore. its all about the timing of when you yank and when you snap the throttle.

 

and lift your legs up off the bars.. if your weight is resting on the bars it makes it harder.. pick up your legs until you hit bp then set them down..

or get good on spreaders and just put your feet through the bars while it is already up.. that is the easy way to do them.. you dotn have to take off high chair and you dont have to lift your legs to get the thing up.

and i roll stock.. no big bore needed.

 

what do you guys have for gearing? and what about the maintenance stuff (i want to do an oil change ASAP)

think im gonna tear the thing apart and clean it too

 

i go 13/40

but never had any problems rolling stock and most of my crew runs stock.. a couple of the big guys roll 39 in the rear.

 

oh and i have never changed my oil.. i just check it every once in a while and i put motul in it.. same **** i put in my F4i

 

i run a stage one 88 kit from tb. stock gearing. i love it. i can do all kinds of circle combos with the big bore cause it has the power to keep it up in fast or slow circles.

I run stock motor & stock gears. I use the Honda 10W-40 oil, same as the big bike.

 

The oil is fresh in it. Err, it is atleast the last time i rode it, about a year ago.

Bring it back to my house, i'll show ya how to wheelie it.

As far as high chairs and ****, I could only do them by starting a regular seated wheelie, and then pulling my feet through. I could never lift it with my legs over at first.

Practice by draggin your feet at first. Thats the easiest way to do it, and you learn where the balance point kinda is at.

 

we tried playing with the rear brake and DAMN that thing is touchy, we went over the bars a couple of times cuz the thing locked up

a handbrake is probably the first thing im going to get and an extended foot brake

thanks for the tips guys

 

you dont need gearing or clutch just ride it every day you will get it

 

Thats how I learned I went out the first day and tryed to faulse neutral it and looped it and hurt my back pretty bad... then I learned about the dragging my feet and just bouncing it up and got to where i could ride it unlimited like that thru curves n all then i started picking my feet up and it's just going from there... dragging your feet can act like a rear brake if you start getting past the BP just drag your feet a lil and it'll come right back... takes a few times to learn how much pressure but it's pretty simple... rear pegs same thing... left foot on the pegs and drag your right foot behind you and you're set... but year rear hand brake I'm learning is a must the foot brake is way to touchy for me...

 

I broke my ankle the first night I had it doin the false neutral thing too.

The little bastards are dangerous

 

anyone have the service manual??

 

Bro, its a 50. You could run the thing with no oil in it off the rev limiter, and it wont blow.

Just ride the thing. Its been serviced. Adjust the idle on the handle bar and ride it.

 

i know i wanna go through **** and clean everything..im **** like that

plus the front brakes arent really great so maybe they need new shoes

 

I used to ride it in the trails alot too, maybe just a good cleaning would do it good.
