Ouch, finally went out with some friends and started trying slow stuff. I turned the idle up to about a little over 3k.... 4th stand up or so got it up well into balance point got scared got scared jumped off going probally around 6-10mph before i hit the ground the pipe caught (stock pipe not cut and my friends have told me i should cut it down... maybe next time ill listen) bike spun and landed on the top broke the fairing stay all the tabs off of the head light, the master cylinder half of the C clamp, half my taillight broke off inside of the housing and smoked the front cowl along with breaking all the tabs off of the guage cluster... Acerbis headlight here i come!

i see this happen alot when newer guys go out and learn with out taking advice, my boy did the same thing to a minty 954, well congrats on learning

scraps and scars is all part of the game. sometimes crashing is a good thing because it lets you know the bikes capabilities and how to proportion it to your own limits. definitely chop that pipe and keep at it, it'll all be worth it when you start progressing and see the fruits of your labor.

see the tip sensor in first pic, you need to get rid of that when you build it back IMO

Dang! The price of admission I guess.

I'm learning on a stationary bike right now. And while I have not damaged the bike yet (because it's tied down) There's been some damage to delicate areas of my body. That first drop down to sitting on the tank made me wonder if you guys wear cups.

Then I got all distracted.

louisvillerider

well.... first thing you did is cranked the idle up while learning.... you need to have brake controll, and be used to BP before you turn the idle up. once you hit BP and dont use brake the idle just carries you on back... read up on the "how to wheelie threads"

apfire26

If you had it going only 10 mph it sounds like your doing well, except for the crash. By the time I pull mine up to bp I'm usually going about 30 mph. I've been stuck at 30 for the last few days, can't seem to slow em down anymore than that. It also gets real wobbly below that.

tip over sensor.... jump the two outside wires together, cut the middle... and instead of worrying about your pipe, learn not to jump, to hit brake

start from a dead stop

Hah it was far from a nice bike, it was salvage bike when i got it (front rim and forks were smoked and the lower triple tree was tweaked a bit). I also havent just started riding either learned stoppies, wheelies, christ etc... a bit ago, just slow stuff looks alot more fun! ... and feels alot more fun hah
