Moto-Brian Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 XR100s are what a few stunters I know trained with. I wouldn't suggest a full size MX bike...Ask or PM 12 o'clock. He seems pretty decent in doing it. I know if you do any endos or compete in that event, you are going to need a damper. I know the guys who do it have them, at least...

12oclocker Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 I learned on a Honda XR200, you definitely need a stabilizer if you are going to stunt a sportbike. you will wreck your sportbike if you stunt it. I have wrecked every bike I own at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linc5.0 Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 I learned on a Honda XR200, you definitely need a stabilizer if you are going to stunt a sportbike. you will wreck your sportbike if you stunt it. I have wrecked every bike I own at some point.agreed. stabilizer will only help with wheelies if doing high speed shit. If doing endo's, I 100% agree that you should get one.

xtremef4i Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 I heard from someone that Jason Briton uses a GPR stabilizer and only has it set on the 4th click from full soft when he stunts. Seems pretty soft for stunting, especially when the damper has like 16 settings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12oclocker Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 I always had my scotts stabilizer one turn from full hard. if your just learning wheelies on the sportbike, your gonna be winding out in 1st gear, and if you land with the front wheel slightly cocked without a stabilizer, there is a good chance of getting tank slap and losing control, especially on a hot humid day.

xtremef4i Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 Why is it that it seems like all stunters use a rotary style damper? I like my linear hyperpro. Although, the new GPR V.4 looks nice and is a lot thinner and more compact than previous models. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Random Negro Posted January 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 anyone know where i can get a good but inexpensive damper for a 636? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xtremef4i Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 no such thing as a cheap damper, but ebay is your friend. I got a mint damper from a gsxr and bought a different mount kit to put it on my F4i. I have 300 in it when it cost over 400 new. But really, just browse on ebay or craigs list for used dampers that are promised not to leak. if you have a certain color in mind that you have to have, that will make the search that much harder to find Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12oclocker Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 I spent over $400 for my scotts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speedfrk39 Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 My ZX9 needs one sometimes when I let my hands rest after the twisties, or long streightaways,as I pull my hands off the bars, the deceleration causes a whobble, not a tank slap or anything violent,it is controllable but wakes me up.I would install one but I don't keep my bikes very long before I get something different, the 86 GSXR 1100 has one, and we all know those old sportbikes needed it. Now the CBR 600 NEVER had a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
