F4i gearing + circles, what RPM idle?

Looking for some advice on what idle to run with gearing for circles..


I've only had 2 days of practice on my friends f4i with +8 -2 gearing.. I ran 3500 on that, and thats what I learned to cut TWO staggard circles on..

I think the idle was too high though, because I was constnatly raping the brake during the circle..


Now were getting ready to re-gear his bike... Going +20 -2.... I know I know, its a parking lot bike, so were going HUGE for fun..

So what rpm should I run for +20 -2 for learning circles?





Also, I'm getting ready to go +14 on my f4i, what rpm should I run on it?




Just looking for the best advice so I don't waste time learning with a harder to ride setup..
