Re: First stunt bike?

clip ons on top is a good thing. You should probably flip them and turn them out or even better go with db bars.

Re: First stunt bike?

i got the f4i for my first but if i could go back, i think the wr250 or the xr80 would have been smarter buys. i spent a lot of money fixing my f4i after every crash. ur gonna crash.

Re: First stunt bike?

If you can afford it I'd go in that order. Learn brake control and balance point on the 50. Step to a clutch and bigger bike on a 80/100/125 for a bit and when you think you are comfortable get your f4i/636. I am in between my 50 and my drz125 right now just getting the muscle memory/feeling down then im looking for either one of those 4 bangers.

Re: First stunt bike?

makes sense. and that sounds better than just getting a f4i and destroying it learning the brake control and balance point. thanks again

Re: First stunt bike?

whatever you do. Get a cage. Frame sliders at minimum. I've learned this one the hard way. I would be riding my F4 right now had I have bought a cage. I still intend on buying one. Plastic's are not cheap.

SI cage. it was other **** that was breaking like subframe, brake res, radiator, etc. on a heavy bike, all those things are easier to break.

Re: First stunt bike?

not wanting to threadjack, but what are thoughts on something like a ttr 125 for a bike to just dick around on and learn throttle/brake control and catch bp? i was workin on it with my r6, but scraped and it went down to its side. i got thinking i dont want to have to constantly replace **** while im learning.
