12's on a gsxr Ok, my birthday was great. I got a bar and a cage for my 02 gixxer 1000. I have put zip ties around the tip sensor mechanism so it doesn't cut out (new idea you can use). I am going to put an extra quart of oil in the bike. I turned up my idle and mad a sub frame brace and cut off the tips of my break and clutch lever. Now all I have to do is 12 the thing. I'm running stock gearing and with the recent purchases new sprockets are not in the near future. Is there any advice you can give me that will help me take my fiddy and highway experience work on the 12,s. I know I'm going to have to start clutching. Help?

Re: 12's on a gsxr
can you actually ride slow stuff on the 50 and do you have brake control down? if so you'll be all set with a little seat time. if not, learn it on the 50 first and get it absolutly on lock, then you will have no problem hopin on the gixxer

Re: 12's on a gsxr
shouldn't have learned power wheelies on the highway, clutch experience will deff help u... best tip for learning brake onthe fiddy is do a wheelie, go fast in say 2nd gear on it..and then put pressure on the brake, and dip it real far back till it slows to a stall.... gives u a good feel for it

I was always told NOT to put it extra oil on the Gixxers, to just buy a Stuntex oil pickup.

Re: 12's on a gsxr
You should be fine with adding an extra 1/5- full quart. But the possibility of blowing gixxers with or without, an oil pickup (it seems) is very possible. To help, make sure your oil is good. If your going to be standing up, move your rear brake travel up or down a little to better get a feel when in a wheelie. It was difficult for me to find the brake when standing up, at first, but after practicing I was comfortable wherever the rear brake was within a few days. practice practice practice

Re: 12's on a gsxr
you really need to be holdin a wheelie for a whiiiiiile to really affect oil pickup, i always overfill my 929 a little, but i can be in a wheelie for a few minutes and never see the oil light come on. when i had my gixxer i could only go like a mile, so i never had to worry about it.
