Not sure if I've posted this in the right spot... Haven't been on hear for atleast a year+.

First question for street stunting... A 954 or R1? And the questions below. THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've never touched my gearing, always stock... But I hear that it helps out on smoothing out wheelies etc. Secondly, I've never let air out of the rear tire either... I've always ran normal psi. I love bustin' done the highway at mad speeds especially when I wake up 5 minutes before work and have to do a 20min drive in 3 minutes haha. But my main concern is smoothing out the control thing without losing too much top end. Highway wheelies bring the biggest rush to me.

So all in all... Does the rear tire thing really help out that much... I still want to lean corners and ****... so should I even mess with that?? Plus it seems like it's 'cheating' in a way?? I dunno.

AnD finally... Gearing that'll help without killing my top end. How many down... How many up... And what chain conversion 520-525-530??

Two things that sound new to me are:

Engine Breaking??? Which I guess comes with bigger sprockets?

HB (handbrake I think) What the hell do those two things help on??

The 954 is a better stunt bike than the r1 all day long.It's best to leave your gearing stock to learn with,then when you get better and slow your wheelies down and start twelving you can think about gearing.Dropping the tire pressure is really only gonna help you for slow wheelies and dropping it to far definately will affect handling,especialy cornering.Don't do a chain conversion if your going to stunt,I believe the 954 has a 530 chain stock and the sprockets last longer with the bigger chain and it is stronger.Engine breaking is always there,you just get more with bigger sprockets.Get on the throttle in first gear hard and then let off,the bike will be slowing down pretty quickly without any brake,thats engine breaking.See how that could help you in a wheelie?A hanbrake helps for doing stunts where your foot isn't covering the rear break.But you do not need one to start out with,best to learn the foot brake and engine braking first then when you get good with that and want to expand your tricks get one.Also stop looking at the camera when you endo your going to crash into something!
