Ok heres my deal, i have a DR-Z400SM and a GSX-R600 and can wheelie em forever... Now my dumb little 50 seems to hate me. Problem im having is it eather goes right or left way 2 easy... anyone think its the tire pressure? What tire pressure should I run? Anyone who has tried as soon as they put there feet on the pegs it leans quick... I havent checked the pressure it probly has 6 million lbs in it... But eh, any ideas? I know its a n00b question but im a n00b to 50's...

 

Do you still have the knobby tire on there

Balance is the hardest thing on the fiddy (imo) .

Try 2nd gear and a little faster .

 

+1

try second and get some seat time in on it, don't worry about 1st till you get balance down, you'll only **** urself off

 

^^^^ best advice

 

BTW stock psi. is 15f 18r . But you're slightly larger than a kid so go a little more And get a street tire .

 

I never changed or checked the pressure in my stock knobbies just rode the **** out of it an learned balance untill the back tire was completly bald. Ive got the Irc Mb-38's now and i run 30 lbs in the rear and the front ive never checked the preasure just keep it where i can push on the tire and it gives some and im good to go.

 

seat time

 

I run 35lbs front and rear on 3" street tires

 

Thanks guys I lowered it down and tighened my chain to stop it from jerking so bad now I can rock em far as hell... :YEAH

 

Just dont run them to low or when you start doin O's your gonna pop tubes like a *****. I learned the hard way.

 

Yeah i noticed when I went 2 low and started 2 turn I could hear it... Does a street tire really help much?

 

A knobby tire does not let you get a full contact patch on the ground .

You can burn your tire till the knobbies are gone , but the stock tire width is still pretty narrow . It will give you more contact to the road though .

If you get a street tire , you will have more tire touching the ground and a bigger contact area . And a smoother ride .

Also a front street tire is good because a knobby tire will try to wash out (or push out) on you if you try to do roling burnouts .

Some people get both tires or just the rear . It's really up to you .

Little tires are pretty hard to put on if you do it yourself . You can accidently pinch the tube if you use sharp objects to pull the tire off and put it on . But just like anything , the more you do it , the better you get . I just take mine to honda

 

Yeah street tires help alot in my opinon. I rock the IRC-Mb38's and love them. Changing them isnt fun but its not that bad. Just use lots of windex and get 3 tire spoons.

 

street tires are key and their cheap if you broke just buy a rear, i run 25psi rear and 30 up front and i weigh 165 and **** Yeah if psi is to low circles kill tubes daily the tire folds over and your dun bun! so just get used to runing more psi now!
