do you just have a bunch of money burning a hole in your pocket or what? stock is so much easier for straightline wheelies

No, people tell me one thing, other people tell me another thing, other people tell me something else. I need gearing cause I'm big, I don't need gearing because it shouldn't matter. I need gearing cause it bogs, it's not the gearing causing the bog it's me. It's just all conflicting.

I'll say this, *** drags are a bad thing to learn first. It worked for Neal, but Neal tried quite a few other things as well that I'm sure he won't try to push on you
Gearing is not something you need for basic wheelies. Yes, with the way most of us ride out there we want gearing, but for starting out you absolutely do not need it, regardless of your size.
Your bike, as is, without any more money being dumped into it, will wheelie just fine. You need to learn the basics on it before you start customizing it to how you want to ride.

Re: Calling aLL NY stunters and stunteresses
the big gearing debate , big gearing means you are actually going slower so dropping bike will result in less damage .stock gearing equels alot of squids flying around at mach 1 at the spot trying to learn bp ,throttle and brake control, learning with stock gearing just covers bad habits of throttle chopping and lack of confidence. put a 60 and grow some ***** nothing you can learn with stock gearing is going to help , it is just how everyone learned who didnt know any better. if you can rock stunt gearing street gearing should be no problem , but it doesnt work the other way around.
