its supposed to get the front wheel spinning for circles, it causes a gyroscopic effect, making them easier.

i suppose i would help rollin stoppies a little as well.

all pro race guys use em it frees up power lost from friction
same as runnin a non o ring chain
some people run ceramic tranny bearings too
if you go on dragbike forum you can find some reading material

as for the gyro effect it may help...but prove it
same as the oil pump.......it may help

if these guys have the **** youd think it wouldnt be such a big deal to let a fellow stunter where to get it or how to do it..................but it seems to be a big deal

if it does help we could take things to the next level

btw i still got no answer from tony an i pmd him

the saga continues

do you know me? no! are you outta line? yes
so since your outta line lets show the entire forum how you have earned respect. lets see it!
i never called anyone an ******* you did!

pollution? get real!
dont be mad cause the european guys did circles first!
do you think that if a euro guy posted how to do a circle that magically everyone would do a circle next time out!

its progression man the sport is progressiong! can you circle? if you can great lets see it. if you cant maybe you need ceramic bearings!lol

do you think that roadracers and dragracers are pissed cause we are using the bearings that they have been using for many years?

i still dont know why it seems that ive struck a nerve with some people? but the attitude that some people are having in this forum kinda sucks.

I would have to agree on this one. If a simple little tip like this is going to make you a better rider than maybe this sport isn't as hard as I thought it was.

Simple as this, if you are not willing to answer the question at hand stop blowing smoke up the guys *** for asking.

Are you serious? I think with that post I lost whatever little respect I might Have had for you. I belive that is the cockiest most arragant post I have ever seen.
And now everyone who can do circles is just polluting the stunt world? Thats just a damn joke, I guess every stunt YOU do, YOU were the first one to ever do it? I doubt it, I'm almost positive you followed some others lead at some point in time.

Also I think this whole thread is blown out of proportion, if you don't want to share your "secrets" don't post saying "I know how but Im not telling". It should have just been taken to pm's.

Oh.. um.. thats all the proof I needed to know they exist.. lol.. j/k. Anyways.. I do just fill the oil up past the oil window and ride the damn thing.. I just dream of one day not looking at that oil light blinking on and off in my face.

I love to argue the opposite side of every story....debates are fun to me...so I apologize for coming off like a jerk....I tend to say what I think when I think it....sometimes when others are not willing to say it

and just so you guys know, I will tell anyone anything they ask me.....

all I am saying is

dont get mad at someone cuz they wont tell you what they know

EX. someone asking Tim Barnes how he builds cages, that way they can build thier own for thier bike(not necessarily to compete with FI).....when he put all the time and effort into making them what they are today

Yes....I have followed others leads countless times....

I have also taught plenty of people whats up with different things.

bottom line......

it took 3 years for 20 people to be able to 12

and 1 year for 200 more

when you do the math, chalk that one up to these "so called pros" helping everyone out

am I just the camera man/website guy??

a simple oil pickup mod can't be hard to explain.....give the info so people stop blowing RR motors....the more RR motors that blow up, the more the price for RR motors increase all over the net.....

i for instance have 3 junk cranks that i can't use....it's hard as hell to find a good crank around the net...if somebody knows of 900rr cranks, please pm me.....now if i had this oil pickup deal, which i asked about last winter, the sportbike community would have 3 more cranks floating around the usa.......food for thought.

my point was not about the oil pick up, or bearings or anything in particular....

It was about people taking the time and sacrificing to learn things, whatever they may be, on thier own and then just giving away that advice to any Tom Dick and Harry on the internet
