I just picked up an r1.I wanna get used to it before I start getting real crazy. Are roll ons in first gear a bad idea because theres so much power?I used to have a gixer 750 and my whellies were really starting to get clean.and also is it possible to raise up the *** end?

 

please dont ask. that bike will do any trick in the book ,just go out and ride more. just be careful.

 

i woulda kept the 750

 

listen the r1 is powerful alil too much to stunt get a steering dampner
for that chattery front end
that bike has a very very light front end thats why not too many raced them from 2000-2003 due to a too light front end
i woulda kept the 750 but thats my opinion u can stunt all day w/the r1 just getta dampner

 

R1=any trick, any time, any variation,

 

I woulda kept the 750 but i low-sided it and insurance took it.I picked up this r1 for only 6500 and it only has 1500 miles so i think i got a pretty good deal!What kind of steering dampener Scotts or Ohlins?

 

get the scotts dampner thats is small over the stem inthe center of the triplewhat year r1 yo got its areally really fun bike just defying that front end is a stunt in its self

 

Our man Dan from DR has a 2002 R1 with scotts dampener and he stunts the hell outta his R1.. pretty good guy too just dont tell him I told you this..
