What stunts have you tried?

Stoppies are simple on the 250. Just keep your head and eyes up ahead and lock your elbows to shift the weight. Sitting wheelies aren't that hard either. I clutch it up from around 9-10k and shift at 14k. Course there's always the burnouts, but unless it's rolling or a circle it's not that impressive.

 

Heh Heh...

Do big sideways smokey rolling burnouts count?? <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s --> <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s -->

Stunts

I can do only a few, none of which are that exciting.

I can sit on my tank my feet hanging over the lights, stand with one foot on the left peg and the other straight out behind me like I flying only with one leg on the left peg. Wheelie, burn out, stoppies, sideways, no hands, standing no hands, none of which are of any talent.

Decided to dig this thread up again ;-)

I've recently been doing stoppies. Lots of fun at lights if you want to show off, just be careful of oil. My bike refuses to do wheelies after being tuned so there's nothing else I can do.

Been trying to slide the back wheel out lately, lots of fun but scary at times.

 

I've done 1 wheelie for about 2sec or less on my FZR out of about 10 attempts. Havent really attempted stoppies, but i've done 1 rolling burnout for about 10 metres or so. Nothing special.

 

I wouldn't really try burnouts cause i like to keep the tread on my tyres ;-)

Wheelies are lots of fun if you can pull them, just sucks that 4stroke 250's have trouble pulling them.

 

I wanna get into stoppies but i need sumwhere quiet to go and practice, i dont wanna try nd pull 1 nd just end up locking the front brakes nd looking like an idiot.

 

Best way to practice is to simply start braking harder to learn how your front brakes react.

Dont try it when ur going fast, i slow right down as if im stopping normally, just before you estimate the bike is going to stop, grab the brakes hard and keep ur body rigid, the back will come up, and then fall back down. Ensure your feet hit the ground to catch you. In a week u'll be right. i can now do them such that when the wheel comes up, and goes back down onto the ground, my feet have not left the pegs.

give it a go

 

Not a bash here, but the only STUNT that I pratice every single ride is to get me and the bike home in one peice. <!-- s:-? --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_Eyecrazy.gif" alt=":-?" title="Eye Crazy" /><!-- s:-? -->

 

Lol Fzr Dude. I wanna start learning stoppies...as its one of the few stunts that dont do that much harm to the bike. Would have thought moving burn outs would be hard on the fzr? I too like to keep my tyres...I havn't got much money to be smoking em away. When u think of it a soft compound tyre lasts like 8,000-10,000 kms they reckon? So ud think a burnout would take at least 1,000 kms off them?

As for sliding...wtf is that??

And wheelies are hard on any bike less than 600cc....even 600's require a bit of effort still. I dont like to put that sorta force on the bike...even on the rgv, wheelies are reasonably hard, as theres no constant velocity carbs like the fzr...so at slow speeds (take offs) there aint much air goin into combustion chambers.
Though when i get it back on the road..I will be trying the...come off the throttle..then throw it back on method....havn't tried that yet...and I think it may work with a lil pulling upwards. <!-- s:lol: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_lol.gif" alt=":lol:" title="Laughing" /><!-- s:lol: -->

 

perving on chicks while riding at the same time.....

NOW THATS A STUNT!!!!

 

lol, i like ur thinking

 

Well, I have never been too adventurous whilst riding, but the best buzz I have ever had, is as a pillion. I was on the back of a Benelli RSV, when the rider popped a mono. He held it on the axis and travelled at least 300 metres down the road. <!-- s:shock: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_eek.gif" alt=":shock:" title="Shocked" /><!-- s:shock: -->

Man can this bloke ride <!-- s:shock: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_eek.gif" alt=":shock:" title="Shocked" /><!-- s:shock: --> But it is a strange feeling to be starring at the sky for so long thinking, is this going to tip over. Friends said it was the wildest looking mono they have ever seen. <!-- s:angel: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_angel.gif" alt=":angel:" title="Angel" /><!-- s:angel: -->

 

I was a pillion for the first time a few weeks ago, i was freaked out for a few minutes b4 i got used to it, its weird not being able to control the bike

 

Id like to make up some crash bars and find a nice car park and go sick!!! lol.

 

that's my favourite stunt...

 

<!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_sad.gif" alt="" title="Sad" /><!-- s --> i cant do stoppies or even try them, my front disk is warped after i hit that WRX. everymorning on the way home from work i just flick it to cruise control (does anyone have cruise on their bike? oh yeah and i have actually done a superman over a speedbump. j/k <!-- s:alcoholic: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_all_coholic.gif" alt=":alcoholic:" title="Alcoholic" /><!-- s:alcoholic: -->

 

this one time i rode over the top of a round-a-bout instead of riding around it and this one time i rode down the footpath and jumped of the gutter and this one time i rode to like 60mph and hit the rear brake hard and left like a really long black line but i havnt tried a wheelie yet, maybe tomorrow.

whats a "stoppie" is that when you like stop real sudden?
