Hey Stuntlife, I had a few questions. I have been riding quads and dirtbikes my whole life. About 4 years ago I picked up my first cbr F3. Barely ever wheeiled it because I thought that bike was too old and too powerless to do so. I eventually bumped up to my rc51 and through practice I can rock a pretty decent sitdown. I knew this wasnt the bike to be practicing on since parts are expensive and they dont make a cage for it and what not, so last summer I picked up a stunted out f4i split seat. Ive been to the lot a few times and I got staggards down for the most part. Yesterday I was there and there were some stunters that were leaps and bounds better than me. They were helping me alot though. I had switched to double back pegs (I have a tap in rear handbrake) and had been practicing that getting okay at it. I guess you could say I Squided out on one and one of the stunt riders on the lot pulled me aside and told me to start trying seat standers because when I get back there towards 12 it wont be as squirlly side to side. My question is do you think I should make seat standers my goal. I can tell they feel easier but it was too late in the day to get good at them.

 

I couldn't tell you what kind to do, I'm basically at the same level, street sit-downs etc. But when I was the lot yesterday doing staggered's (rear handbrake not working properly at the time, but it is now) the guy I went there with told me to practice bringing the front up from almost a dead stop, bring it up quick and don't try to chase it out by accelerating. And to not be scared about figuring out where the twelve bar is, find it, bring, it back... find it, bring it back... get comfortable with it. I'm gettin there... it was only my second time on the stunt bike. I can get it there, hold it for a bit, then have to chase it. I did find the bar a few times lol.

 

Yeah i havent been able to do that because of my clutch. There was issues with my adjustments that I just fixed tonight, but before I couldnt clutch it up so i was forced to power it up. I found out tonight also that my cage is broken. Which sucks because its a tygershark original. Probably just gonna weld it back together for now as money is a issue. Im anxious to get back to the lot im ordering some gaskets i need now and getting my radiator fixed. THen all I need is new forks and shes as good as new. I just put my dirtbike bars on the other day too and I love them. Seems way better to control than the woodcraft clipons that came with it.

 

Well I got my clutch fixed and oil leak isolated. Gonna replace that damn oring that goes between the water pump and the crankcase. Put the dirtbike bars on recently too. Also noticed my tygershark cage is broken. I think im just going to weld it back together for now. Ohh and the subcage is on. Only problem left is to get the radiator fixed and it will have no leaks and have no other problems.
