I've been doing fairly well latley. I can hold balnce point now in 1st and 2nd gear as long as the road is decent and I've been doing spreaders, seat standers, basic tricks.
But....I've had a problem with tank slappers lately. 3 in the past week to be exact, 1 of them nearly takin me out.
I haven't had a problem in first gear but when I set my 2nd gear wheelies down I get a little wobble almost everytime, and like I said, 3 of them have been pretty bad.
It feels like somthing may be wrong with my font forks because I have noticed that I have to put a little pressure on my right clip on in order to go striaght. Does anyone think this may be the problem? Should I loosen it all up a try to sraighten it out some.

Oh ya, my brother backed into my bike yesterday and ****ed a few things up. I was able to drive it back to my house but now I can definatly tell that somthing is bent up front.

old man roger

if you put it down and the front wheel isnt straight you will get tank slap if your going fast

apfire26

Thats what's weird. I have been doing them slower than ever before. I must be setting it down a little off. I never had this problem before, it just started happening.
I'm not out doing power wheelies. I'm never above 70 anymore. I really think somthing is a little off up front.

old man roger

70 is fast if your wheel isnt spinning fast and you arent straight

old man roger

what part of florida are you from

apfire26

Highlands county. Central FL.

Its about an hour and a half south of Orlando.

old man roger

noxen

um buy a damper..problem solved

old man roger

+1 but he wants to find the problem first if there is one

apfire26

I think its about 2 hours. Maybe not quite that long.
You wanna ride sometime?
My bike will prolly be sittin for about a week. I need to figure out how to strighten up my front end. My clutch lever is bent too but I just ordered an easy pull lever from HAI that my brother is paying for. My cage should also be in this week so I figure i'll get that and my 12 bar put on too.

old man roger

thats kind of a far ride

apfire26

Yup.....thats why I'm still riden by myself. haha

old man roger

riding alone s u c k s

apfire26

I'm really strapped for cash right now. I owe money for my new back tire and I REALLY need a new front tire.
I also ordered an FI cage a week or so ago and I'm still getting *****ed at by my wife for that sence we barely could make rent.lol
Also, I'm dealing with problems caused by my brother backing into my bike.

But the damper is on the list, hopfully it will be next.

old man roger

at least youve got your priorities straight

apfire26

Yeah. I can't say that I'm always alone. I do have a few buddies that show an intrest in stunting. The main one who is on about the same level as me as been going through a lot of legal problems and now only rides to work and back. My other buddy just wants to smoke and play his guitar.
And I've got one friend who bought a cage, 12 bar, vortex +5 sprocket and chain for his 06 gsxr 600.........but he doesn't want to even try to wheelie until he gets it all put on his bike. I've been riding stock with a dented tank.

old man roger

that can be ruff on the wallet......cages are our freinds
