I can clutch up my 954 (which has stock gearing right now) from stand still, but am having some trouble with getting the wheelie to stay at a constant slow speed.

I imagine that re-gearing it would help a lot with this, but has anyone rocked slow stuff with stock gearing???? Probably a lot of clutch work with it, huh?

 

not too much clutch work, i can do everything i used to be able to do on my geared bike, except slow circles, but i can do fast circles with the stockers. i can still roll at a walking speed.

 

how slow are you talking. i could go about 10 mph when my gearing was stock on my r1

 

it's all the same except it's a little harder to get up, and you will be going a couple mph faster when doing idle wheelies. Either way there is no need to touch the clutch when it's up unless you slow down too much and stall the motor

 

i've tried this on my buddies bike. 954 is a super twitchy bike. u gotta throw it back real far, almost to the bar and then it will catch idle. U might have to crank the idle up a bit extra too. Be smoothe on the gas.

Alright thanks guys, just need a little more seat time when I get my bike back together.....

 

How much should I turn up my idle for the 954 with stock gears? 3k?

 

FSP says 3,500 - 4,000 :YEAH

 

I found 3000-3500 max to be a good spot for me and my 954

 

yeah but is your 954 stock geared.


FSP 2005 - ------->

 

thats wayy too much.. I can do pretty fast no handers on mine at only 2200 or so


no idle for regular 12's though

 

yess but u dont run stock gearing nags. Do you. In that pic it looks like u got a biger sprocket to me i know 3-4 is high but he's still learning so i thought it'd be kinda hard for him to run low idle



FSP :YEAH

 

bone stock... bike is completley stock other than a slip on

 

NICE!!! :YEAH

 

I couldnt imgine putting the idle at 3+.. it'd be sick

 

Well i've ridden a 954 but your forgetting i ride a F4i haha

Those 954's are twitch but i didnt remember the one i rode pulling nice on idle





FSP :YEAH

 

Mine pulls sick.. I can do longer no handers on the 954 than my stunt 929

 

yeah i like 954's mainy for streets though. Those things are soo smoothe on the highways and coasters are soo easy to go far on. ITs got that twitchy a$$ throttle but its a damn good bike for sure



FSP :YEAH

 

I found 2400-2500 to be sweet spot on the 54 geared or not.

 

you cant get it idle 3000-3500. The exhaust valve **** screws it up. If you adjust it to 3k, it soon jumps to 5k, then it drops and up and down.

I use 2100. -1 front. but can't drive against the idle, I've gotten it rolling down to 3000 or so. Really annoying, because If I could get the idle up to constant 3-3.5k I could learn the idle stuff.
