I want to buy a stunt bike but I don't want to spend too much money for the initial set up.

Whats a good/cheap bike that I can start with?

And can someone give me a list of parts that I need to get started on the bike?

-cage
-12 o'clock bar
-???
-???
-???

All help is appreciated. Thanks!

 

Honda honda honda...find an old f2f3 etc...

 

you could get an old f2/f3 but if you really can, try and find a nice f4i take all the plastics off and get a cage...start goin to the lot and learning and playin around, talk to some of the local guys and as you progress you will realize what you need to take your **** further and further!

 

this place should be called "f4ilife"

but yeah... try to find yourself something FI, you'll thank yourself later

 

oh... and a cage... dont really need to worry about anything else until you master throttle and brake control

 

So:

-F4I (600cc right?) what years should be ok? I don't want to run into any problems like oil starvation because of wheelies. I heard the newer ones don't have this problem.

-Plastics off
-Cage
-Good Brakes
-Then hit up local guys like theguy386 to watch and learn from.

 

hehehe, I'm getting shout-outs on here :YEAH


but yeah... I wouldnt get a new bike for stunting seeing as how its gonna get a fuckt up anyway... unless you're a baller like that

talking about fuckt.... Fuct420 is also in L.A.

 

oh and do i need a sprocket/chain upgrade?

 

start stock and work your way up once you get a handle on your throttle and brake control!! just my .02 though

 

learn on stock gearing until you have throttle/brake control

 

damn!! beat me by 2 min.

 

I got a silver/black streetfightered f4i (with sides) set up to stunt. MXD full cage, 12 bar, cut down pegs, turned out stock clipons, -1 +14 gearing, tipover and clutch sensor wired off - $3500. It's in good shape and I'm in LA.

 

Thanks man, but I can't do it right now.

 

When I start practicing slow wheelies, what's the best way to start?

After learning brake/throttle control:

Do I learn by trial and error how to clutch it up to BP right away?

How does the back brake come into play (besides saving me from looping it)?

Do I have to hold the back brake while riding the wheelie for it to go slow?

HELP please! Thanks!

 

LOL, u made him type all that **** for nuthin.

just concentrate on getting ur front wheel up first. cover the rear brake the entire time. stop giving it gas and brake when it gets up too high for ya.

 

+1:YEAH Also prepare urself for some serous aggravation!!!!!

i should have been more clear. i was trying to get a parts list together so that i can buy a cheap bike and add the parts little by little.
i know, i know.

 

Good advice C....and I like that i'm in your avatar....:YEAH ...even if you can't see me

 

So then what did you mean by "hey I want to buy a stunt bike"?
