Its been 2 summers and I've finally learned how to slow em down, got the foot brake down pretty good. Getting a handbrake over the winter because riding season is almost done in Ohio. BLOWS!! Next summer gonna try some new slow tricks, just wondering what yall think of stock gearing for stunting and should I run (+5 or +7) rear sprocket.

 

just go + 5!!

 

use what ever ya got man. Im still on stock and theres not a whole lot it stops me from doing. just gotta use more clutch for things. and what you talking about the riding season is almost done.. We ride all year round here in Columbus..

 

Yeah true, just learn with it because i'll just have to learn it all again with sprockets. As long as theres not snow but its ******* cold here during winter. After 40 degree its pretty cold. lol

 

not when your riding bro.. get on 2 t-shirts a sweatshirt and my textile jacket 2 pairs of jeans and my *** is out there sweating at 10 degrees.. this **** gets ya warmed up quick. and ya get more pading out of it.. Heres a little motivation for ya. this was last january and february.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Gdj3-oilZk

 

Im runing stock on my f4, covering my foot brake im able to go real slow...very low psi as well

 

you are lying.

 

im sticking to stock gearing....its pretty gangster if you are bustin circle combos etc on stock. i'm not. but thats not the point. if it aint broken don't fix it!

 

Yo clown the last time we road together.... wait we havent ever so you dont know ****

That would be the ****... I dont see the need to bump it up yet it aint broken

 

well prove me wrong then.

 

I run +10 on my f4i but I got elevation to deal with, I'm over 5,500 ft above sea level, bikes suck up here. A sprocket will not make you a better rider dude, the only thing its gonna do is demand less throttle to get the front end up, and at idle you will be going slower because it utilizes engine drag.... this is how some of the old school guys could do crazy **** without handbrakes, they'd let the engine slow the bike down. A stock sprocket will ride faster at idle and will require more brake to bring the bike forward from beyond balance point. Thats it... you can go just as slow with either, its just how you ride it. You WILL NOT LOSE any of your stunts by going to a different sprocket, especially at your level....no offense.... it'll take five minutes to get used to the giving it less gas to clutch it up and you'll be right back where you were.
ADVICE: go +5 and dont change it until you're doin no hand figure eights....by that time you'll have learned that people put way too much thought into what parts are on their bike, as opposed to how they ride the bike. Good Luck.

 

best post in a long time

 

Yo I may be moving to Fort Collins how is the place???

 

stock rocks, definetly, learn with it, then circle it, and then u'll get on any bike easy plus it's just time to get used to it and forces u to use clutch lot more in the O's

 

stock makes you smoooooooooooooooth!!! fast o's way easier stock!!

 

Fort Collins is pretty good dude. I went to Colorado State which is in Fort Collins... tons of chicks to mack on. Close enough to Denver, tons of fun during school... it's a good place to live.

 

**** yeah dude, we'd love to have some more riders man. Its ok up here, we have a spot with permission and some pretty cool sponsors but we usually like to hit up denver whenever we can cause their spot is bigger and its just more fun to ride with everyone together. If you need any help with movin out here or findin places and **** hit me up I'll lend a hand. Peace.

on my gixxer for a while i ran -2 +3 and that worked out okay for goin slow. but stock sprockets the bike will want to stall at about 8mph. you will be constantly fanning the clutch and focused on rattrapping.
