Re: newwwb to stuntin'

I just broke my engine mount bolt the other day


The cage officialy lasted on the bike 2 1/2 years.. (Freestyle ingenuity)



So.. Hope that helps some how ...

I'm gonna order a SICKINNOVATIONS one and test the waters out

I lived by FE for a long time.. Now ima try something else.. When that frame slider is bent all the way over.. things start to look grim !

Re: newwwb to stuntin'

u need a oil-pickup if you can get one for that year model, i know they make them for 01-05 but don't know about 00!!!


i can't belive after 2 pgs. of this no-one said oil-pickup, especially for a gixxer!!!!! he's gonna be killin the rev-limiter, so that poor gixxer motor needs a little extra lube option! get a pick-up you'll think me later.

Re: newwwb to stuntin'

yea no one mentioned it so i just planned on overfilling my oil... but ill look into it, i got a wreckless driving ticket recently so uhh, im kinda keeping it on 2 wheels till court , need to find a good lot ! btw how much do oil pickups go for? and would just overfilling be sufficient for just learning since i prob wont be having my bike up for real long periods of time right away, i mean ill def get one once i get better j/w if its something that can wait till next summer

Re: newwwb to stuntin'

haha.. I never needed a oilpickup.. I just properly maintain it !


Its got over 20,000 miles and starts up to normal idle in 2 seconds!


Get some video footage of slow progression of your wheeling


How fast are you going when you try to bring it up?

what's your rpms at if u got gauges?

-Remember you prolly don't have any experience using your back brake either so your gonna wanna go thru the basics on that before you plan on doing any 10-11 clock ****

Re: newwwb to stuntin'

Yea I always make sure my window is full !


(oil)

50's are alot of fun.. if you get like a 109cc pit bike its a good way of training to use your back brake.. I highly recommend that

But let me tell you this. I bought a fity after years of riding street and
I ended up blowing out my ankle last summer on the ******

it was a SDG.. fun bike and yes it would carry hella far !! 1-2 gear whoolies for days

-- On a gixer note.. have u tryed a second gear wheelie? Do you know what preloadin the front tire is?

i go about 5mph, then pull my clutch in so im down to about 1-2 mph and just clutch it up

There's no need to preload if you clutch it right also staggered is like 1000 times easier then front peg stand ups. Give it a shot it will feel weird at first cause of your left leg being moved back but it gives you a lot more control.

Re: newwwb to stuntin'

yea i tried it and my wheel came down turned a tiny bit to the left but , thats easily fixed with a little practice. i have court tomorrow then ill be back to riding ..... so would riding in a parking lot be something that i have a good chance of getting a ticket for ? or do they usually just make u leave? theres a grocery store parking lot right off the highway up on a hill away from houses and stuff, gonna prob do that up this week

Re: newwwb to stuntin'

Yeah you can still get a ticket. Also it's good to have a waiver from the owner so at least you have permission to be there. It doesn't matter where you are a wheelie is a wheelie reguardless and there for you still can get a ticket. One more note burn outs will def get you kicked out and get peoples attention. So be descrete if you don't have permission.

Yeah most D&D pipes I have heard are just annoying. If you have the stock one, cut it then put that on if not your SOL.

Re: newwwb to stuntin'
