Come on 215lbs?

 

How the **** are you people getting stoppies up in the wet. I see more and more pics doing this, yet I still lock up stoppies from time to time on clean smooth pavement in Texas Heat. I hate you people.

 

Hey! Whats up everybody!! Since everyones on the stoppie subject, I see everyones pretty much running pressure 25 and up. Is every one running there fork settings stock or softening them up? Or makening them harder? OK guys Lets here from the masters!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

ahh but the fresh white clouds of smoke are so worth it

 

i think tire pressure for the stoppies is just like for the wheelies, at first you run low pressure for stability but when you get experienced you crank it up a notch. i started my wheelies with 15 psi and now i'm at 25. same thing with the stoppies i run 25, but on this f4i i suck so horribly at them though

 

i'm rolling pretty decent stoppies on a stock f4i front end. rolling 200 from 100 now. i put 15 w fork oil in the forks so its more stable, slower movements and it comes up faster., i closed the rebound a bit, the compression aboyut one and a half turn out. the f4i with clipons really needs a good steering damper once you are rolling a certain hight (no power stoppies) so get one.
i have the psi up to 2.1 bars, i dont know how many psi that is..

 

thats his body weight.

 

check the thread that M. Gorka started in the Help and how to. Plenty of talent posted in that thread.

 

joe you shoudnt even be aloud to reply to this thread , last time I saw you in o town killin stoppies i sold my 954 front end and bought a front end off of a F1 honda from 1986 ( top gun stlye ) nows who's killin it !!!

 

35 psi is the only way to go. you do need a good tire though

 

i use to run 32... now im at 40... and i use a Pirelli supercorsa race tire also... its by far the best and only tire i will ever run on the stoppie bike.....

 

is this the best set up for distance stoppies on a stock front end?

i have all the ***** on my forks upper and lower turned all the way to the right? is this bad? i know nothing when it comers to forks and suspension

 

this works really good for me Boogie. the thing is: replacing the oil must be done precise! the airchambers in the forks cannot be too small or the fork will get rockhard. too big and its a sponge. so drain them good, and put in the specified amount!

as for the settings: the compression in too far means that the bike lunges forward everytime you make brakeadjustment midstoppie, too far out and it doesnt control the height of the stoppie enough.

make the rebound slow (close it almost) so that way the pogo effect goes away a bit.

make sure there is NO play in your steering damper!

 

Out of curiosity what is your rebound set to?

 

I run mine around 25.

 

I think 1 bar is 14 point sumthing psi. So about 30 psi.

 

Kane u still stuntin bro? aint seen ya on stuntlife in a min lol
