I've been riding sportbikes for a lot of years. I've enjoyed doing highway wheelies, but always wanted to get into the slow, parking lot stuff...so I bought an F4i (big suprise there huh) and started slow stuff. I have a cage on it, but since I am still learning, I keep 12 o'clockin it and then dropping it. The other day I dropped it on the left side and broke the rear set and left rear passenger peg. So now I can't do anything on it 'till I fix it. This could get expensive.

I'm just lookin for any advice or ideas to do to my bike so I stop break ****. I know most of you smart asses will say "get better" or "stop falling". I'm serious though, I need some advice so I can keep my bike rideable so I can continue to practice...

i dont think there is a way to stop breakin ****. thats part of the sport. you break stuff till you get your skill down tight. the better you get, the less you break

 

learn brake control

 

learn how to getto rig stuff too. just look at my subframe for starters its broken in 4 spots and till as solid as a rock. thanks home depot.

 

one word Zip TIES

 

+1 and lots of them including the the thick ones

 

try putting on dirtbike pegs

 

Well I am all about ghetto riggin' sh*t and I probably should buy stock in zip ties, I'm about to replace my rear set and I hate the fact that I'll probably go out and brake it again.

I am working on the brake control...I'm getting a bit frustrated because I usually pick up on stuff quick, but these slow wheelies just doesn't feel natural yet.

 

Are dirt bike pegs stronger...I just went out and stood on my left rear peg..I don't think I need to replace that one...I still have half of it there...

 

hey pick up some swingarm sliders from powers there like 2 - 2.5 in and they bolt up to your rear axel and wont let ur pegs to hit your bike will lay on cage and slider

 

That sounds like a good idea, I'll look into to those...thanks charsha1

 

i dont have them dirtbike pegs myself but i know people that have them and have yet to break a pair. because our pegs are alum and dirtbike pegs are steel. other then that ebay that **** up!

 

heres a pic of the slider on a 636

 

does powers have a website i cant seem to find it.

 

yea www.powersbikeworx.com just wish i could get discount for referring people to them but that will come one day

 

Ya homie I got the best advice for you.....but i guess it's too bad you already said it.....DON'T DROP YOUR **** BIATCH....and stop being a ***** and keep practicing....no time for whining and breaks:YEAH

 

Yeah Matt, you *****...I was waitin' for you to chime in with your 2 cents. You waisted your newbie *** first comment on me....get a life bro..lol You need to work on your circles anyway and stop pussin' out.

 

you can get some pegs and just bult them in the back

 

Just Replace it and stop whinning but if u ever break your shifter just drill a whole and put in a bolt is what i did

 

Nah man...i'm not whining...I'm just broke as sh*t these days and can't afford to buy stuff for my bike...Sorry I don't role like some of you guys. I'm def into the ghetto riggin and zip tie solutions...but I wanted advice on how to stop breakin my rear sets....

Thanks for everyone else though...good ideas...
