2nd is the shizzle for me. I like slowing 2nd down to a dead stop, but when I start messing with idle i might switch to 1st for circles/ no handers etc.

2nd is a fun gear. My stock tire is starting to look pretty scary so I'm kinda worried about doing 3rd gear ****. Time to order some street tires...

in third gear if you hold the shifter up it'll go into a false neutral. and guys that are a lot better than me can do sick coaster wheelies by holding the shifter up like that.

15? You go a little faster than that in 3rd. I don't wear any gear riding the 50 and road rash at 35mph hurts.

Re: what's your favorite gear?

still learning so i would say 2nd gear for me.. Dont have the balance for first.. but 3rd gear wheelies are fun.. just a bit hard to get up there.

2nd is good for slow wheelies, but I would have to say third is the best. Once you get to the point of balance, you have to be careful, but i like it overall.

Re: what's your favorite gear?

say your riding in 3rd gear, u pull the shifter up, go into a false neutral and rev it a bit and then let the shifter go down again. is that bad for the engine? wat about reving in neutral and cranking it into 1st?
