how far can i go in first gear in a stand up? i've been practising and i went 1/2 mile, the bike is at 9000 on the tac. the only reason i came down arms were ready to fall off. should i go to 2nd gear or just keep practising in 1st, 9000 on tac will that hurt the motor?

 

wont hurt the motor as long as it doesnt hit the revlimiter your good

 

you can go as far as you want in 1st gear. But there is no point in holding it at 9000 when you could just be going the same speed in 2nd at about 5000rpm.. I take it your just learning, and from the sounds of it i can tell your wheelies are high, but if you find that your rpms are slowly going up then bring up the wheelie unitll they stay at a constant rpm.. From there you can bring it up even a little higher and they will start to drop.. Once you masta that you will have blocks.. So basically all im saying is bring the wheelie up just a bit more and your rpms will stop climbing and you can go as far as you want.. good luck..

 

...and don't forget to use RB...

 

get an oil pickup in your bike....

and you can go for miles in 1st ....

 

You can go between 3500 and 3800 feet.

 

if you don't have an extended oil pickup your moter is probably almost f'ed.

 

i run 1 qt extra oil in the engine, doesn't that do the samething as the pickup

 

I've Gone About 2 1/2 Miles In First.then My Arms Fell Off
