I heard gettin 03/04 pass pegs makes it better, and i already extended my clip ons out. I will prolly flip them sometime this week maybe.

makes it a lil better, but your right it is crunched

actually it's the other way around. people put 05/06 pass pegs on their 03/04's because they're a lttle bit longer.

until that day i was clutchin them from around 15ish mph. but my buddy told me to slow down and when i started to clutch them from around 0-5mph omg huge improvement.

however, with stock gearing 16/43 it almst feels like my clutch is takin some abuse when i clutch them up that slow. is this just my imagination or is the slower i clutch the tons harder on the clutch?

Re: progress pics

I wouldn't clutch from a stop with stock gearing, that's a good way to loop if you don't have good brake control. 10-15mph is good.

i assumed he knew how to use the brake.....it's hard to loop unless you gas the **** out of it...aslong as your idle is down....im just saying all you need to did is clutch it up and put it down....clutching it right when you start is a challenge sometimes....

im not a good mechanic....but i can't see it killing your clutch to much more then daily driving... ...im sure some one will say your wrong but thats what i would think....

This thread is like a gold mine. I've read it twice.
Stuntlife seems like a bunch of relentless haters at times, but you come through on the important stuff.

I think its all in how you approach people. I usually ask for advice, then post up pics of what im doing so others can see and critique rather then just being like "hey how do i do O's in 2nd doing 15 mph"

I'm still new and have much to learn these guys are inspiration......thats how i look at it lol and while i am learning to wheelie im catchin up on my haterade while im here

haha, if he has an 03/04 and was trying to get you to trade or sell em I'd say that's exactly what he was trying to do. Next time you see him, ask him if he still wants your 05/06 pass pegs and when he says yeah, put your pinky on your lower lip and say "1 million dollars" in your best austin powers accent
