what's the biggest differance here? i'm wanting a 954 is this a better stunt bike than the 929 or just the same bike? does anyone stunt a 02 954 and do you have any problems rockin' slow stuff? thanks for the advice, Josh

 

From what i know both bikes are pretty close, but the 954 has a narrow tank compared to the 929 for highchair stunts. Dan Jackson rocks a 954 so they obviously work and many others use the 954 and 929 so i say just go with whatever one feels better to you.

$5500 for that? i got my 02 MINT with 9k miles for $5600.

 

i like the 929 better. It feels more like a 900 to me than the 954. 954's feel way too narrow and more like a 600 and they put me in a forward uncomfortable position. That's just me though.

also, the subframe on the 929's has a better (stronger) mounting point than the 954's. both of them are strong, but the 929's are stronger. seems like hte newer the bike got, the weaker it got. 900's are tanks, 929's are weaker but still stronger, and the 954's feel like they are going to fall apart any second cause they are so tiny and lightweight everything.

other than a completely different feel and geometry, they are damn near the same bike.

oh ya, parts are a hell of a lot more expensive on 54's than 29's cause they are newer.

 

Did you give them a jar of VASOLINE with it? You stole it at that price they are still going for 7500 around here.

 

also another thing, either way you go, you're probably going to have to have the throttle bodies synced to get the idle to work right. everyone says take the valves out but i did it on mine and it still does the funny idle. The only people i know that have it working are the ones that have had the throttle bodies synced.

im' just lazy and run 2k rpms though..haha

 

Both are nice bikes. Just put some gears on and youre good to go.

I took my valve abd flapper out....and didnt have my throttle bodies synched.....my idle is perfect. no complaints.

 

I took my valve and flap out and now have a dead spot from 5-7k rpm. Any 1 know about that. It is smooth every were else.

 

thanks for the advice looks like the 929 for me. i found a mint 01 929 for $5500 so i'm in need of crapy plastics now and 954 parts are hard to find cheap, what does everyone think about going up +15 and -2 on a 929 good or bad?

 

the +15 -2 seems to work pretty good for john from dss he really likes most of the guys around here are +15 and either stock front or -1
im +10 stock front and it isnt enough
nags and from what i hear Joe brown too is +9 -1 on there 929's

 

what's the best place to get gears from? i paid like $150 + for front and rear w/chain is that pucked up or what. i went +10 -1 but it was a 600 so it's time for everyone in midwest mayhem to step it up a little bit, thanks for the help.

 

just buck up and get it already its already in your basement just sitting there and not being ridden.

 

i'm 1 down 10 up on my 929 and i like it.

don't go more than 1 down in teh front or your chain will eat your swing arm.

 

Joe was 2 down 5 up, but basically the same thing. Rick Payne is also the same

 

John is 2 down and it doesnt touch the swing arm
you cant go more than 15 up without mods to the swing arm though

 

hmm...i put the -2 from my 900 on my 929 and the chain was all over the swingarm. Also my friend frank that's a honda mechanic said 929's aren't designed to handle anything less than a 15 tooth front sprocket. He gave me some reasn, but what i remembered was the swingarm thing so i had to go try it out.

 

if any of you are interested, we have stock front 15 up setup with a chain, and 2 down 10 up with a chain BOTH FOR SALE!!!! very low hours on both, you can take what you want, 100 dollars for each set up including shipping. one came off 929, other came off 954. PM me if interested!!!!!!

 

what up Tenny hows your A** feelin'?

 

hey josh, pull out the 954 and meet me at "The Parking Lot" for a loopin' good time!! Lets stunt the beast already!!
