i use the clutch and never had problems. its alot smoother for me. i use the clutch for high-chairs also and have never had problems.

 

if you dont wanna clutch up 2 or 3 gear wheelies the best alternative if you plan on stunting seriously is sprocket changes. my 900 is for stunting only and I am up 10 teeth in the rear and down 2 in the front. I can do high chairs in second gear with just power. And I remind you the bike only has 118hp so its no demon. Needless to say for normal street riding that is a bit much but if you wanna bring the front end up that is the simplest theory. You can go down 1 in the front and up 2 or 3 in the rear and 2nd gear will snap up with no problem. That is a safe alternaive to clutching. Plus sprockets range around 40 to 50 bucks so its not gonna break the bank!

 

Best advice yet.
Either way though...I dont think ill be pulling too many wheelies anytime soon...looped it pretty hard today.

 

smart ass...... actually it will fuck up your tank.

 

U alright RicerX? how bad is the damage on the bike?

 

i have an old heavy '93 gsx-r 750. i went up from a 43 to a 50 in the rear (+ and kept it stock in the front (if u go down in the front it makes the motor run harder). i have no problems bouncing it in 3rd with that gearing. any long catwalks are going to harm the bike because of oil deprivation, and of course stress ont he motor/ transmission. like everyone said, if u are afraid to hurt the bike don't do it. 1 because its gonna hurt the bike and 2 u will be thinking about hurting the bike and not the stunt. thats just my .02. go but a 2,000 p.o.s. bike if u wanna stunt like a nice old CBR f3

 

 

isnt clutching come up a bit faster than power?

 

Im okay I guess. Skin heals. I got a lot of rash all over, but Ill be alright. All my gear is ate up.

My bike is fucked. Fucked, but not totalled. DogboneR1 is gonna take care of it for me. Hes doing all the work. My back rim is fucked, and a lot of plastic gone. No other major damage though. Oh well, now Im gonna get a cool new custom paint job.

My biggest worry is the fact that Im leaving for 2 weeks of field training tomorrow. Im gonna really have to take special care of my wounds. I cant miss this training...its critical. Wish me luck, and hopefully none of my body parts will have to be amputated.

Yutt!

 

what happened? did i miss something here?
