When I say stock gears in this thread.. I mean close to stock.. at least on the f4i.. Completely stock gears on an f4i sucks ***. The bike is a dog. Anything slightly over stock is what I mean.. but limited to +5 total in the rear. I got to ride a couple different f4is last night with different gears.

I went out and hit the streets and the lots last night on -1+2 gears. parking lot **** is a little harder at first but its way more fun after you get the hang of it. Anything you have on lock with big gears gets way better on stockies. The bike feels 10X better. I think -1+5 would be perfect gearing. Anything over +5 is seriously retarded now in my opinion.

Freddy was running +6 in the rear and stock up front and it was perfect. Easy to clutch up.. you still had your top end.. and there wasnt any bogging. The only difference between his gearing and my old gearing was that mine was alot twitchier.

Guess what.. Stock gears (or close to it) are going to be the new cheater mod as soon as people start figuring it out. Stock gears are hard to learn on.. but get good on the huge body gears and go back to stock and whip some circles.. you'll see. Throttle control is WAY easier with stock gears.

Matter of fact, I'd be willing to bet that anyone rollin +20ish sprockets that have been riding em for a year or so would get way better overnight by getting rid of those retarded gears.

Big gears are training wheels. Garbage. Big gears are probably the shittiest thing to happen to stunting ever. How driving a truck out to an isolated parking lot in the middle of nowhere somehow turned into more fun than riding and stopping of at one of those spots here and there baffles me. Why not just ride a trials bike if thats what you are in to. lol.

The only thing I can say about the new gearing that I dont like is that its hard not to slam down. If you drop the front and have to get back on the gas it just bogs and slams down. Using the clutch solves that problem unless you are doing highchairs SS or spreaders.. but I guess I can figure out how to use the clutch to fix that too.


so.. the moral of the story is... I was burned out and was this close to selling my bike and never getting another one.. But then I took it back to the roots, hit the streets and had mad fun. Anyone getting bored with the same old same old should give it a try. I know there are a few of you that feel me on this.

Around here its gotten so messed up we cant find a good lot that we dont get kicked out of and I'm so tired of dealing with that crap so the only thing I plan on doing after this weekend is paying shows(which when I do them I will be putting my old fairings back on) and maybe hitting up a track here and there. Besides that Im done going out to parking lots and tearing up my bike for free. Dont get me wrong I will go hangout, but I wont be doing any stunts that I dont have down. Dont get me wrong I will do stunts but I wont be trying new things and Im not even sure I will have a 12 bar anymore. I came to this after getting kick of the last 3 lots and after riding my girlfriends bike on the streets and it was a blast

Im not hating at all Im just getting kinda tired of tearing up my bike and while I'm not saying Im not going to hit up parkinglots ever again but I have alot of stunts down and I'm just not going to worry about new stuff and just do things I know I wont drop my bike and if I get a paid show I will put my old plastic on and get stupid, but I just tired of my bike sitting in the back of my truck more then I ride it.
