I'd just get a piece to set in there just in case I ever needed to haul a goose neck trailer. Cutting it back out in 3 years would be shitty.

 

Don't have to worry about getting a new battery anymore....

 

well aren't you sympathetic.

 

i decided i'm just going to get a new one or i'm going to be sneaky and buy the same one and put the old one in the box and says it doesn't work

 

So anywho, i was talking to gil last night and i'm going 2 down in the front on my F4i. I was practicing sd's 2 nights ago, better but still not getting it to BP... and he jumped on it when i got tired. He was rocking circles on it after 10 minutes of practice, but he too had issues getting it up. But we decided that F4i's need a lot more gearing and he was surprised how much more throttle he needed to give to get it up. And then...there was the undertail bar...LOL...go figure...i think he's going to be rocking the F4i more than i thought. This contention was further supported when he asked if i was comfortable with clipons or whether i thought turning them out would be better...LOL...I like clipons and I'm small enough to find them comfortable.

2 down and 8 up...will i still be able to ride the streets?

 

High
68° F
Precip: 40%
Cloudy skies this morning followed by scattered showers and thunderstorms during the afternoon. High 68F. Winds N at 10 to 20 mph. Chance of rain 40%.

bummer

 

how new is it? does it have a serial number on it?

 

i just got it in febuary. there is some number on it, but i've done this before with a camera that didn't really work...and they didn't look at the numbers or anything.

 

i gotta go get ready for work now.

 

That's going to make your bike very twitchy for learning. You're better off with a lot less gearing. My wheelies got a lot better when I went back to stock from +10.

 

oh

 

Not over 65 for extended periods of time. Stock f4i's are hard to clutch up from a dead stop. Try clutching it up at about 15-20.

 

the pads suck and the forks need rebuilt

 

where the hell would i get a gooseneck from?? seriously i dont ever see nedding to haul one of those

 

hmmm that's a good idea. what genius thought of that

 

 

Actually I found that I was more comfortable clutching it up from a 5 mph which is practically dead stop. I was jamming on the throttle harder and harder until people started telling me it was way too aggressive of a move. So I tried to do it from 20-30 mph and I honestly couldn't do it. Do you let off the throttle and then clutch it up or remain on the rolling on the throttle and then just pop the clutch quick?

 

Yes but you will hate it - thats what i am, well i am +14 which is the same ... you will be shifting ALOT and dont expect to go over 90

 

doing a favor or making some extra loot

 

3-4 years from now you might. I'm just saying between the work of pulling off the hitch and welding over the little 2"x2" hole or just taking the hitch ball off and puttting something over the hole in the off chance I might need it, I think the answer is pretty clear.
