am i a stunter now? just kidding tho.. 1st gear, little blip of the throttle got her up a bit then set it down nice and smooth. ha but damn 1st gear is gay.

just for curiosity.. when clutching it up. do yal dump the clutch or ride it out a bit to somewhat control how fast it comes up... on my old pit bike i just put it in 4th, dumped the clutch while bouncing the front a bit and it came up... only hit the BP on the pit bike a few times b/c the rear rim was bent and would wobble and run off the road ha

The only time i feather my clutch (or ride it out a bit as you put it) is when im picking up the bike from a dead stop. I am also certain im probably doing it wrong that way and will get called a newb, squid, or moron shortly. Any other time its a quick slip of the clutch whether in 1st gear or 3rd gear.

gotcha, im probally gonna give 2nd gear clutching it up a try in a staggared standing stance once it stops foookin raining here... Damn you George Bush and your weather machine, damn you!

whats a general rpm yal are reving up to? 10-13k? i tried it at 7k the other day and the suspension just unloaded but never came up on one. i was also sitting down when doing that

if u are staggered, get at about 6000 rpms and clutch it decently hard...should come right up as long as u stay in the throttle...just try not to pay toooo much attention to the gages, they cause mistakes

ya i know all about that :( i kinda have an idea of what each rpm sounds like.. do yal pre load the forks at all?so the rebound helps get the upward momentum going?

rpms have nothing to do with it, its how hard you get into the throttle that counts. The rpms should only go up like 2g's but, it all depends on how hard you are in the throttle, not how many rpms you are at. Its a feel thing, just start out small and then keep getting bigger. You want to pull in the clutch, rev it and dump the clutch in about 1sec. try it out, and dont worry about the rpms, they have nothing to do with it.

well if the roads ever dry up ill give it a shot.
just since gettin up on one on a new bike takes some getting used to.. would there be any problems with leaning forward a bit to make sure i wont loop out? and should i stay in the staggard stance when setting it down or stand on the main foot pegs? or sit...

and just out of curiosity.. what causes front wheel shimmy when setting it down? when i was ripping thru 1st and 2nd the front came up a bit and when it set down it shook the bars pretty hard.

doesnt matter if you dont want to stunt. you never look at your tach. there is no "by the book" method when it comes to doing wheelies.

hell, i just learned sit down no handers. and the only way i can ride them across the lot is by not looking where im going. i either close my eyes or look at my gas cap. just learn to feel your bike.

practice and DONT POWER WHEELIE! thats the only "by the book" rule.

what kind of quad? haha my buddy has a pos 110 lil kids 4wheeler at his shop.... like the pep boys ones.. would that work, or should i look for a bigger one? like a 300 or 400ex.. those are CHEAP

would a shaft driven quad work.. like a 250ex.. my buddy has one of those that he put a 12 bar on jus to drive around his shop when no one is there
