so i just put my f4i on the road. im fairly new to stunt riding but not to riding in general, i do ok in the lots but the streets are soooo much different.

i have a 63 in the rear and -2 on the front. what gear at say like 35-40mph do you guys bring them up in. i did 3rd but seemed like it was reving kinda high then tried 4th but it seemed real hard to get up and kindof unsteady. just hard to keep bp smooth.

i know its cause ive never done them faster with a big sprocket bike before and i will prob get used to it. just wanted to see how you guys do it.

with that sprocket set up you should do a wheelie any gear and speed

ok ill just have to practice a little then, i didnt know if going any higher than 4th at those speeds was good or not. dont get me wrong it comes up and i can go for a bit just seems really unsteady

prodigy714

do what you feel comfy with one might say this and you may say that doesn't mean either are wrong just some people are comfy with different things find what you like and **** everything else

i hear ya, im like ocd when it comes to reaserching stuff, i guess its just a habit, and where a lot of you guys have been doing this stuff for a long time i never turn down advice.

im not comfy with **** right now.hahahaha thats why i wanted to see if i was doing somthing wrong.

thanks man

my gearing is a little less and I clutch 3rd at 35mph and hold um at 45. and clutch 4th at 45 and hold um at 55. 4th is always a little squirly but that makes it fun,lol.

-2+17 seems a little much, especially for the streets. My f4i is -1+15 with 2nd on up being cool for the streets. Try your wheelies in 2nd or 3rd gear at the spot, like you would leaving from a stop sign or light. If you still have a stock front, try that. +17 is plenty for street riding and lot.
