and when you 12..pull the clutch in and set it down...then hit the brake to bring it off the bar and let the clutch back out to keep going
Thanks i'll try that, I actually just went out to pratice and it all kind of clicked. I'm not consistant yet but i made huge progress today. I'm stoaked. I'll try the foot in bar tho, sounds like a good way to learn more.

As far as a cage goes, I have a cage from North West Stuntbike. The last owner put it on, i don't know if you can still get them but it's way stronger than the FI i had on my R6, I wrecked my F3 super hard plenty of times and it holds up great, and i think it's cheaper, if you can find them I'd get one if i were you

This might sound dumb but, when you clip the wire to ground it which end should you ground? I know the wire goes from the plug for the Air Sylinoid Valve into the harness, when i clip it should i ground from the cut to the plug for the valve, or from the cut to the harness? Or just ground both ends? Get what i'm saying at all?

Re: f3 for stunting??

i grounded mine before it went into the relay. i did mine when the bike was running so i could tell if i had the right wire mine sparked just a hair and i heard the relay click.

Re: f3 for stunting??

I love f3's I learned on one. it was -1/+4 and it felt like it had *****. at least 96 600 ***** naaamean. $800 sounds like a great deal depending on how ratty it is.

Schaff... maybe just try gearing it -1/+4ish or something close to that. That'll really help you.
They say its a 70% difference out here. My R6 felt like a R1 in AZ. Almost looped out my first stand up. lol

Re: f3 for stunting??
