can you stunt this without blowing it up and if so how do i get oil to the front cylinder
thanks

 

not sure should be able to full 1/2 qt over full it has only one pick up tube right if so then it will pump oil to front just like all others

 

anyone

 

Yes you can, and it's so much fun. What-cha-nee-ta-know BUB??? Hey, aren't you the guy that does highchairs on your 250r with a 80lbs bag of potatoes on the back seat??? :YEAH

 

um no sack of potatos but i could do a little one nothing that could be ridin out
and how do you keep it from blowing up?

 

easy, it's called SILKOLENE, 10w30. Every 4 to 5,000 miles. Always run 1/2 to 3/4 quart overfill, watch the little red 12'oclock light, no burnouts while the bike is on it's side, and that be it. Best tires for at are free ones but if you have to buy 'em, make sure it says Pilot Road on them. They will last you easy 8k miles without unneccesarry burnouts, and they stick better than HubbaBubba to the bottom of your shoe. I just broke 31k miles on mine today, still runs like new. Oh yeah, you need to insert 3/4" shims in your forks, or buy a new helmet every time you do a serious stoppie. Best combo is stock front and 50 tooth rear sprocket. With that you can do: standups in 5th at 70mph, sitdowns in 3rd at 40+mph, high chairs/spreaders in 3rd (even in the rain) and ride 'em out to about 75 mph. Top speed is about 135mph, maybe more, but my hands got tired. DO NOT SHIFT WITHOUT CLUCH TOO OFTEN, IT WILL ***-UP YOU SHIFT FORKS and it's about $1000 to fix 'em. That should get you goin', need more, I'm here for you bro. My next bike is goin' to be another SV. Most fun in 17 years of ridin'

 

One more for you Twin Sin? How did you begin your tank wheelies? and how did you get them down? I want some advice before I start them........and 1 mo Why didnt you let me know about that quick shiftin **** when you let me know all about my SV.

 

Some twin bikes, for some reason, shifting without clutch doesn't always allow for the shift forks to lock in place. SV isn't the only bike, Ducati 748 is notorious for that. On a split case motor, like ours, to replace the shif forks, you have to completely take the engine and gearbox apart-not fun-not cheap. It can slip out of gear at the worst times, once it sliped out from second right at my balance point when I first started wheeling. So I coasted for a couple of seconds with no throtle control as **** was running down my pantlegs. I did land it on two. 16,000 miles since then, it still sometimes slips, but never when I use the clutch. Learning tank wheelies is fun, but will scare you a bit, don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Since the balance point is a lot higher than standups, you might feel like you're about to loop it. I usualy 30-45 mph, depanding on if I'm in 2nd or 3rd, being confortable on the tank, I chop/clutch and punch it to about 8,000 rpm. Soon as the clutch /gears ingage completely, your rpm will drop to about 5k. Then kick your legs up, that will balance your bike better. Highchairs, same thing, just better view. oh yeh, don't kick your legs up just yet
I would definitly recomend going +5 on the rear. I tried 5 different combinations of sprockets, +5 rocks, keep stock front. I'm still learning spreaders/highchairs for the past 3 months, it pisses me of that I cannot go much further than 1/8th of a mile. I'm thinking of getting an air shifter. :YEAH Of the dozen+ bikes I owned/built, this one is the most fun. It's nice to be able to race a bike that is not a race bike, stunt a bike that is not a supersport bike, and comute on a bike that is not a cruiser.
Did you shim your forks yet?

 

Yeah man, I had the forks reworked by my buddies shop....I dont know how I ever rode this bike before that. I also have a damper on it and have 3+ in back......was 2- in front but, it was just too much....I couldnt really ride it because of revving to quick. So you clutch up the tank wheelies? Did you learn in first at all? I know when I learned stand ups I locked my legs on the seat and brought it up in first with no clutch.....Is there a scare of falling backwards when you bring it up?

 

No you can't.
