lol i was just wonderin the same thing ... god this is confusin me more than ever ... guess I can always stick to my body stoppin the bike ... that obviously worked before



((It's a non-stock brake))

 

if she has a hand brake it must be a regular brake and not a drum......

 

There are hand brake kits for 50s. They are cable actuated. A stock 50 does not have hydraulic brakes.

 

im trying hard to make sense of this retardedness in here. if youre asking which is best for just stopping the bike in general. your rear brake doesnt do **** in terms of slowing the bike to a stop, it has two levels, barely doing **** and locking up. your front brakes are about 80% of your total braking power. thats the brake on your right hand that slows the front tire. as for a handbrake, left side controlling rear brake, they work the same as the rear foot brake. if you cant modulate throttle and front brake without ******* each other up, you need more time just general riding. i dont know what kind of stunts your attempting by yourself but at this point it should prob be none cuz it sounds like u dont have a ******* clue of what your doing.

edit: i thought you were talking about a real bike. disregard most of this post except for the braking explanation

 

my bad I thought it was like a conversion.....but still if it's a hand brake for the rear it should stop the bike just as quickly as the pedal......

 

That was my basic point.....don't kill yourself......just practice.....

 

That's the best way to go though right...start out absolutely clueless and learn from your mistaaa.....crashes!?


Well if I do die, it'd be a good way to go........but I guess practice makes perfect, that's what I said this is the beginning

 

i pray to the right god i dont die on a fiddy. that would an awful way to go out.

 

no not clueless. i dont know how to talk to a 50 rider cuz that **** is just a toy and i dont take them serious. but as for big bikes, you read your *** off and watch tons of videos and if youre lucky you have local ppl that are already real good that you can watch and learn from in person. ppl that just go into stuntriding with no general concept of how to control a motorcycle usually get hurt but if you manage to die on a 50 im goin to award you the stuntlife retard of the year award.

 

LOL maybe not awful, but definately ridiculous


LOL i've watched and even tandem'd ... i've been around and not going in completely clueless ... so chill ... we have to start out somewhere, why start on a "big-bike" ... gotta take baby steps, right? :P

 

no sticky buns ur hearing me all wrong. the last thing u should be on is a big bike lol. however if u want some real advice, get rid of that 50 theyre worthless in my opinion. u need a ttr125 or crf100/150. something a bit bigger with a clutch.

 

post some pics of wheelies or of you falling
not just the bruises hahaha

hang in there

 

i agree with the crf100 or something with a clutch.. i bought a fiddy rocked it for about 2 years... bought a crf100... i feel the fiddy didnt help at all, even though people say it will help you with brake control.. The Crf100 will def. help more than the fiddy.

 

might of been a quick no hander, but no photoshop here buddy

 

+1 I considered a 50 and ended up with a crf230.....I'm 6'4" a 50 was ridiculous....

 

Well being about 5'5" 120lbs its not as ridiculous ... i'm afraid that anything bigger would be too much to handle by myself right now ... i've practiced clutchin on 4-wheelers, but obviously brake control is my number one priority right now....right?

 

im 5'6 160... and trust me a 125 is not big at all. youre short changing yourself on that 50, trust me it does nothing to help you transfer up to a bigger bike. wheelying on a 50 and a big bike are absolutely nothing alike. a 125 or 150 is not that powerful and not that heavy, nor do they sit that high. you want to learn how to clutch up and catch it with the brake, ur gonna get to used to yanking that 50 up which you cant do with a big bike. plus i believe 50s learn you bad throttle chopping habits.

 

holy ****, from the pics i probably would've never guessed you were on a 50. that front brake is not gonna do **** when you hold the gas on, if anything the front tire will just skid and lowside you. i had one a while ago and yes they are fun but you're not gonna get good on that then transfer it over to a big bike

 

I know, I know

 

There are tons of people that power-wheelie on "big-bikes" too, but I suppose the sooner I learn clutch the better ... damn, now I don't know what to do ... look for a different bike?! who's gonna hook me up?! hehe
