What's up John It's all about feeling comfortable and having that confidence on any bike you ride. Twitchy or not you'll know the bike's limit and will be fine on the R1. but if I were you I'd kill a Honda first before ruining that nice R1

 

JOE my friend i dont want to argue with u, but check out this site and tell me what u think, everybody knows that every dyno is set up differently unless u get more hp on the same dyno, it doesn t mean that u gained hp. Got it?
Anyways, u r going to learn a lot of things from this site. let me know if u got it. Later.

So are you saying my gsxr 1000 really doesnt push 492 hp? Those damn salesmen.

 

Check your website charts again then...a dozen ponies more right?

I think I got it now.

 

blah.....

 

this thread is right on time for me! I have an 02 R1 that I'm gonna turn into a stunt bike. As of today its stock and I plan to do small changes as I get used to stunting. I mostly ride canyons, and I've had this bike since new so I feel this is the best bike for me. Its paid for and I know how it performs. My first mods will be flipped clip ons and a cage. Once I get the basics down, I'll see what will make sense to do next.

 

i got a 905 cage for 165 shipped to your door step never been used partner...and a got a set of 525 sprockets.. 50 rear stock front.... brand new never on the bike... made of steel 130 shipped to the door... if you get em both i will take of 10 bucks cause they can be shipped in the same box

 

ha ha`get em... homie:YEAH .....lol he set his self up for it...

 

Thank you....theres is no reason to jump all over the kid for asking a question....how about you go search *******....

 

Any bike you mentioned is good for stunting, as long as it has a back brake

Your avatar shows you are not learning brake

No matter what bike you ride, learn rear brake. Seat standers later

 

I paid to have mine dyno'd so for him to say its 116 and a "DOZEN" less than a 954 made no sense...but his website opened my eyes to how the dyno system really works

 

people on here for some reason always seem to know things without having any personal experience.
that specific year r1 is anything from heavy and makes a decent stunt bike especially for a 1000, It is well balanced, smooth power, and easy to handle. I know this because i personally had two, and stunted them, no complaints.

dont listen to people with all their theories without any actual experience with it.

The one thing they do have right though is that the frame is softer, so if you drop it alot, your front end/neck is going to be messed up. you dont need to flip the clipons or none of that other bullshit. just put a cage on it, and rock it stock for now with the idle up in the lots, regular on the street. and as for a sprocket, you dont need a sprocket on your bike unless you already have balance point down solid. a sprocket wont help you do **** but flip it.

 

+1 i hear "that bike is too heavy" all the time, and what ppl dont realize is that the favored f4i is heavier than almost every liter bike out there. not that i would recomend stunting a liter bike because the power is hard to manage but its certainly not a weight issue.

 

i posted a thread a lil bit ago i got an 01 r1 with a 64 tooth rear an 1 down in the front personally it dont bother me im 170 pounds i clutch 6th gear but def. learn the back brake an if moneys tight or whatever stunt what you got

 

they surely are light.... mine felt like a paper weight compared to my old f4i... but at the end of the day like the others said...everybody is going to have a perference... so go with what feels good...or if you got...already just cage it and get it popping.... go hard or go home !!!

 

My bad Joe, but there is so many dyno # that i got confused, but it s a nice article wasn t it?

 

Am -1 and +7 in the rear...can do 2nd gear sit downs / stand ups and 3rd standup freeway but slowing **** down is hard..... I try to slow my sitdown 2nds to hold them longer but still working on it....I got 40,000 miles on my 03 R1 and love every minute of it. Had since new
