well what does everyone think is easier to control.? 1st gear to me will be a lil harder because i it has more response with throttel. 2nd i think will be better because it is a longer gear and it isnt as jummpy with the gas

 

...more centrifugal force in second also. The bike is more likely to gyro itself steady. 3mph for me is damn near impossible to keep steady, but I'm new at this too. 55 however, is easy as cake.

 

Survey says ...........................................
































ZERO

 

Where'd I mess up? Second gear is easier for me to keep steady.

 

zero u serious. Ha dont think so. 1st or second. hey dont forget im just startin this stuff. dont want to do a backflip bro

 

Ok I hear what youre saying but you have far less engine break and you will kill yourself. After a few hours of first gear youll see the benifits. Please read the How the Wheelie sticky, It will help you quite a bit.

 

Oh, I see what you're saying. I have a lot more engine brake in 1st and am practicing everyday even if for only 10 minutes to clutch up from idle but it just falls all over the place. I thought he was asking about the bike being steady and easier to control if you're covering the brake.

 

well its kinda both.. i read the sticky before. dut didnt pay 100% attention to it.. but this time i did.. ill do 15mph clutch the bitch a lil at first then gradually bring the rpm up get a feel of it. then ill be on my way riddin them things from my girls house all they way home.:YEAH

 

if that thing has stock sprockets then 1st gear should serve you just fine. find a dead end road somewhere and just go back and forth all day at 25mph standing up till you get it.

 

25mph? you think 15mph is a lil slow?

 

ur gonna loop at sometime brotha, get up and try it again...
wait, u have a second gear

 

Whatever speed you are comforatable at. 25 would be ok for 1st when you start then try slowing it down and going longer before revving out. Once you get to BP you will no longer rev out.

DONT FORGET THE REAR BRAKE SECTION OF THE STICKY. LEARN WHILE YOU CAN !!! Bad habits die hard

 

I need to get my first low speed loop on a big bike done so I get that fear gone. I've looped dirt bikes and fifties but never a sport bike. I know it can't be too far off tho. I knew I bought that cage for a reason. haha

 

Waaak.... rear brake = No Loops. It might happen in a brain lapse, but shouldnt happen if you train right.

 

The rear brake is second nature. Guess its just a natural reflex from all the drunk nights on the fiddy. I don't WANNA loop, but know that its totally possible.

 

be gentle with it right? only needs barley any pressure to balance witht he rear break.. because i dont wanna snap my front end down.

 

Anyone seen 'The Invasion'? I just started it and Nicole Kiddman is all about see through pj's. This rox so far.:YEAH

 

ummm nope didnt see it.. is she on a gixxer doin a highchair

 

She's stuntin somethin alright but I doubt they're real. Sorry man, back on topic.
