I have been rocking the fiddy with my feet on the pegs finally as of today. My brake control still sucks but when I try to 12 it it leaks gas all over the road. Is there anything you can do about this or do you just have to deal with it?

 

You're just starting to do feet-up wheelies, you say your brake control sucks, and yet you're trying to do 12s?

My fiddy tends to stall if held at 12 o'clock for more than a few seconds. (not that I can DO 12's, but holding it there after a looped wheelie and whatnot )

 

Screw on the gas cap?

 

Haha. Or don't do 12's on your fifty. ..Just kidding

Here have a beer..

 

bro it sucks...it happens all the time to me...i guess it is just one of the things you have to deal with...everytime I loop uhh I mean 12 the fiddy it dies and spits gas all over my driveway!!! if I come up with anything I will let you know

 

Put a screw in the end of the overflow tube.

 

Ohhhhh, I didn't realize u were leaking out of the overflow tube. I was gonna say that was weird if u were leaking from the tank itself.

 

I was already working on scraping on the big bike, scraped a few times and ended up scraping the bike off of the side of the road. I only bought a fiddy to learn brake control and side to side balance. I havent gotten off of it since I got it other than to eat and sleep and I had to do some work today, but I was on it my whole lunch break and from the time I got off work until now. Its too much fun. I cant really 12 the fiddy, I can just ride it a little past the balace point until it gets slower and slower until it starts getting boggy and I have scaped the tail a couple times, wrecked a bunch of times and hit the tail pipe a couple times all which ended up in a small wreck as well. I am not consistant AT ALL but the couple times I have done it, it leaked gas. Anyways, yeah it is coming out of the overflow hose. I was just wondering if anyone had figured out how to fix it or if everyone just lived with it. If you cant do away with it, I was thinkin I would put a longer hose on it and route it under the fender so it wouldnt leak all over my tire.

 

why not? is it that strange? I dont care if I crash, I wear gear and I am going slow. And I'm not tryin to win no beauty contests with my fiddy. I will get it one day.

 

i 12ve mine and havent had the fuel leak, or at least i havent noticed it..

 

No, I spose not. I hope to progress to 12s someday myself. I just figure it makes more sense to master "regular" wheelies first and get that brake control on lock before trying something that takes precise brake control like doin 12s. I prefer to do my learning with the least amount of crashing possible... it hurts!

You know the old saying, "You have to walk before you can run" but hey, different strokes for different folks.
