Re: What gearing do u run 4 low idle speeds?
once youtube finishes my upload i will show you why i want to change the gearing.. my buddie was watching me and even told me i need to change the gearing.. my bike bogs every time i try to pull it up at 2-3 mph.. if i pull it up around 15 mph my bike is very responsive to my throttle input.. i would rather crash 20 times learning at 2-3 mph then 1 time trying to learn the bp at 15-20 mph

. Clutch it up as hard as you did in the vid and catch it with the brake. If you are riding idle and its bogging then that would be a gearing/idle issue.

If its bogging when you are trying to bring it up, give it more gas. It sounds more like rider error. I didn't see it bog in the vid you posted . Clutch it up as hard as you did in the vid and catch it with the brake.

once i bring my bike up from almost a stand still and its not exactly at bp and i try to give it a little more throttle it bogs out.. you dont think a little gearing would help that?
i just posted the bogging video

Re: What gearing do u run 4 low idle speeds?
if i had more gearing then that would the bike pull back up after i popped it? i still had a little gas but not nearly as much as i had when i popped it up

I guess I can't give you the best advice on this because when I learned I brought it up little by little and by the time I reached bp I had picked up a few things. If I had gunned it up to BP right away, I might have busted my **** too

I think that it would help you not fall forwards maybe
but then it will be really twitchy and it might make you slam into the bar 
. Here is my advice, drop down a tooth in the front and see what happens. Don't go too extreme until you have BP locked down.

Re: What gearing do u run 4 low idle speeds?
haha listen man, i dnt know what the hell happend in that video, but it doesnt have anything to do with gearing. if your idle is up too high then its going to make you ride your brake too much and cause your bike to bog. TRUST ME this **** has nothing to do with your gearing. i can get on any bike with any match of gearing and ride idle with it. youre already having problems controling that throttle with the gearing that its at, dont make it worst for yourself. stock is the best thing u can learn on, but youre already geared so make do with what ya got. gotta be easy on the brake inputs, that is what will cause your bogging. you gotta find the balance and it takes a while, there is no magic gearing that is going to help you with it. trust me man, just keep at it with what ya got and youll get it.

after watchin that video a few more times, you might wanna consider if you have some sort of mechanical problem or were maybe real low on gas or something cuz thats not a bog out, thats a cut out. bogging is when youre alread on idle and your goin real slow and the bike sloooowly starts to sputter out usually cuz of too much braking. that was just a cut out.
