When you get frustrated you get a clouded mind and thought process which will effect your physical reactions and actions. If **** doesnt seem to come jus take it in stride and maybe stop for a second and reflect on what your doing I always like to come home and compare myself to pictures i took of others over the nite and also watching stunt videos to check body position and listening to the motor and watching the brake lights

idk just my .02
Not bashing just saying.. thats why we get stoned. No clouds.. no frustrations. Just riding

Re: slow wheelies

Yeah if your doing it on the stock (choke) idle its not the same at all. its close but not as strong and dosent rev back up as quick.. do the mod. also Ive read that the stock idle richens it up and fouls **** out and makes it run like poo

Re: slow wheelies

oh ya man for sure that idle mod will help thats why guys do it cuz the stock idle is weak and based of a/f ratio n some ****!!! you shouldnt mess with that one

but the idle mod is based on pushin the tb blades open it will give you a much stronger idle!!! jus wait you will feel the differnece

ok but look at it this way man say im squid A no brake control nothin i go out get stoned then jump on a bike and try and clutch it from a stop to bp right? ok gorilla scrape fall off and hurtmyself cuz im a lil blazed and didnt catch teh bike with the brake in time ya know??

for us who have the brake control we can be a lil fucked up and its second nature but for squids its prolly better that they stay as sober as possible dont you think?

Re: slow wheelies

Yeah I know it will help but is this the reason for the bog cause the stock idle just can't cut it? It seems like anything 10 and under it just bogs. I know someone can catch stock right? Flame me if i'm being retardeddedd.

Re: slow wheelies

I was off idle with stock but not totaly on it.. once i did the mod I went right to it. So rip that **** apart and mod it.. bungie the tank up to the subframe rear brace. pull the airbox disconect the IAC and MAP sensor and 4 air hoses.. I Removed the clutchside idle set screw. Find a good place to run the new adjuster and put everything back to gether.

No I hear you about the 50 thing man. Sense I took a year off that's the first thing I hoped back on to get the feel again. Last year I could get a 1/4 turn but it was wide and always with throttle no idle. This year I'm going slower and I know this idle is going to help. Thanks for the advice though.
