got my bike on the road atlast and loving it ,Left it standard gearing and normal tyre pressure as i want to use it in the summer and go on rides with me mates as i used to . Took it to the spot and found could nearly do all i could do with gearing [not much]

 

if you ride it enough with stock gear you will get used to it and be able to do every thing you could with more gear

 

Iv always used stock gearing maybe a couple down on the front but it doesnt make such a big diffrence once you get used to it only thing really is its real twitchy and sensitive at the slow slow bits (what i expirienced anyway)

 

ye dont seem that diffrent .Just the enitial launch i find hard .Any advice on that omr

 

as i said to omr .any advice on launch m8

 

With the launch it is harder but how i learned to launch from stand still was clutching it up from a slow speed and even though it was going faster than i wanted i slowed it down and learned the smoothness on stock gearing so after doing that for abit i started trying from stand still and with the smoothness i learned it made it easier but you will need more revs

 

yes thats what i am doing .just wondered if there was a better way

 

blip the clutch half way through!

 

thats what i was gunna say lol

i was on standerd gearing for a while and didnt see much diffrent once i got used to it but i did find that it seemed boggyier at low speed but like max said u just need use the clutch a bit more . i also found that about 36 psi was a good tyre pressure for it.

 

Hey Mark the bike looks sweet !!!
Really good to hear ya back out on the bike again.

 

cheers for advice .all is good dont seem to bog .Gunna go out now and practice a little more

 

I do get the bogyness to mostly when im just under bp

 

cheers m8 love the way the bike looks .thanks to billy and chris from brunters with all the help getting it sorted really good to be back out roll on them sunny days

 

thats good advise , once you get used to how it is gonna feel on the launch you will just learn to let the clutch out differently then when you are geared up , i let the clutch out pretty fast when im riding with a lot of gear but when i run my stock gearing i kind of let it out slower and let the rpms get a little higher

 

maybe slip the clutch a little you mean

 

i typed the word ''slip'' at first but then decided it was too strong of a description but yes kind of but just ever so slightly

 

haha me too and couldnt think of any better wording so said "Blip"

 

Big mark could kill anything. I'm pretty sure if I handed him a fiat punto he'd still manage to wheelie it without touching the throttle.

 

big mark is the man and killing it. was funny we went down the spot afet big mark had gone and was finding envilopes with 100 pounds in them with marks name on it skatered around lol big mark u should keep your pockets closed.

 

cheers for that big up m8 wish it was true
