newbie questions(please help)

For the last two years I have been stunting a supermoto and was not to bad. I recently got an f4i and am now getting into it with that. It is all stock with a pipe and cage. My questions
-Would-1 up front make it alot easier to lift in second?
-If im not doing circles do I need to remove the tip over switch?
-when Im doing 12's how do I keep it smooth going in and out of the balance point. For me its very twitchey/jumpey.
-does anyone else feel a lack of power at 2k to 3k rpm?(flat spot)

If you guys could help me out it would be appreciated

-Going down in the front or up in the back in reguards to gearing is going to give you more torque making you able to get the front wheel up with less gas and clutch.

-You should fix the tipover if your stunting period. You don't just remove it though cuz then the bike won't start there are a few different ways to do it, one of the many f4i stunters on here should be able to help you with that.

-As for being smooth, that just requires seat time and practice just like any trick on any bike for that matter.

- As for lack of power at a certain rpm, maybe plugs, who knows it could be a lot of things. If you just got it you may want to get a tune up.

HAI bike shop one of the forum sponsors should have sprockets. If not try www.kneedraggers.com

Re: newbie questions(please help)

any shop that can get stuff from parts umlimied will be able to get you a 15tooth for 20bucks, you may want to go -1 in front and up a few in the rear, anymore than 3 up in rear you may need a longer chain though
