Re: who rocks stock gears or close to it
Thats simple! Just stick your head, where the sprocket is... at like 30 mph, only in second gear though... And then clutch it up! Try keeping your foot off of the back brake in case you survive!

Re: who rocks stock gears or close to it
What kills your clutch is SLIPPING it not DROPPING it. You just have to give it a little more gas with stock but it comes up the same. When you slip the clutch it heats up the friction plates which glazes them and wears them down. Dropping the clutch is hard on the basket, which are tough so really its not a big deal. So as long as you drop it like you mean it, then your fine. Its when you pu$$yfoot around that you do the damage.

Re: who rocks stock gears or close to it
Would it be easier to learn circles on a F4i/636 with a big sprocket like a 64 or would it be easier with a smaller gear like a 53? I seem to have going slow down to a science, i just cant get the bike to lean hard. I DONT have clutch control, i cant do coasters. My circle learning will be done with all rear brake.

Re: who rocks stock gears or close to it
I'm at -1 +4, i used to be -2 +10. It took me a day to get used to how much to clutch it and **** and I still can't do circles but I'm working on it.
I used to be able to do 10-15 circles with the larger gearing when my other biike was running good.
It seems like every time I turn in I stall. I think thats because I'm trying to slow down too much to turn in when I should throw it in at a more reasonable speed.

Re: who rocks stock gears or close to it
Used to rock -1/+2 and didn't like it at all was way to weak. People say to just bounce/clutch up my first an I can do it. It comes up nice and smooth to bp and I can rock it slow. But only problem is the bounce/clutch isn't consistent with me. On top of that many times I end up missing my brake or not being able to hit it on time. Now I put on a -2 front sprocket (-2/+2) and it comes up nice and easy without bouncing. Still didn't get a practice day in wiht the gearing but I think it'll work well.
