I got sit downs and stand ups at BP in the bag but I wanna learn HC's and spreaders and i got stock gears. Do i need to start out doin sh*t in 1st obviously. feels kinda sketchy. bash me if you want, but you gotta start somewhere and somehow. just need some insight so i dont kill myself doin it the wrong way.

 

make sure you got a good tank dent job and hook your feet on the cage on the up...the rest is all mental--im working on spreaders now too.

 

yes def dent ur tank....and learn to do sitdowns and standups in first nice and smooth first before u get on the tank...stay in first and go fast....be smooth, and ur set

 

yeah i got a good dent job on my tank. Tried it for the first time today and it wasnt so bad. Basically is all mental. but im doin em now dammit. took me a while but its like doin a stand up now. even tried to pull up a HC starting on both wheels with my legs over the screen. getn my legs over the screen was the easy part getn em back down well that a lil harder, almost dumped it. think it need to take my mirrors off for those. haha. thanks for the tips fellas

 

mirrors?

 

no **** right?

I went backwards. I rode the freeway alot and started doing spreders there. Then i discovered the lot and had to(still) learn how to ride, again. I havent done a spreader in forever. Take your mirrors off, lock your legs on the fairings/cage(preferably), and lean back on your tailbone, otherwise it will look like Kelms dumbass.

 

yeah "mirrors". im still learnin. ive only been ridin for 5 months and the streets r my practice grounds. so i need em. turnin back every 30 seconds lookin for 5-0 gets old. when i get a parkin lot to pratice in where i dont have like every cop and state trooper *****in at me then the mirrors will come off.

 

HA HA i did see those pics of kelms seat spreaders a while back. but everyone does sh*t there own way i guess. well my r1 is my 1st bike i think im doin ok for as lil as ive been ridin. most guys around here (in my town) have been ridin way longer than me and cant do half the **** i can. which aint much to you guys. but hey im getn there. but thanks for ur

 

Keep up the progrees and hard work. Ride until you get blisters, then keep riding until they start to bleed or your clutch finger tendons go numb. Thats when you know you got a good session in.

 

Anyone use shorty clutch levers for mx bikes? will they work on clip ons?

 

^^^yeah they will work...

 

LOL I Know about that hand going numb crap..Sucks

 

Yeah they'll work. I use MSR Raptor and I've used ASV one too..They work fine.

 

Can u use the shorty lever with the stock perch or do you have to use the shorty lever and matching perch? if you have to use the set what do you do bout the wiring that goes into the stock perch?
