if i increase the number of teet on rear sprocket and reduce them on front will that make wheeli easer?? if yes how many to be changed for a no-skill beginner?
should i do something about the rear shock, softer of harder?
does the amount of air on rear tire matters? if yes what should it be?
i will send everybody some pictures of me crashing soon.
thanks

it's hard to ride a bike w/ lots of gearing before you have really good control. if you graduate in baby steps to really deep gearing then you'll have a smoother learning curve. if you want to gear it now and have a well set up f4i go ahead and get a 15 tooth larger rear sprocket and a 1 tooth smaller. most people here run crazy *** gearing like that. I'm 2 down 11up. then you air down to 15psi and let er rip. good luck. be safe

Drop it down to 20 psi. at first. work on your throttle control. once you can ride a 1st gear or 2nd gear wheelie for a long time then you can mess w/ the gearing.

well said phil. F4i's are sweet bikes, they'll rip up 3rd gear standups completely stock. work on your technique, then work on changing the bike.
