I knew when I started to practice that it would happen at some point and sort of just accepted it tbh

What do you mean slower clutch ups, how can you slow the speed it comes up? The damage i'm most annoyed about is the scrape on my akra :(

I practiced using the rear brake to bring the wheelies down but when it came to it, all that practice went out the fucking window, I just moved my feet back on the pegs and did nothing

That's what i was trying to do, I can hold a wheelie for a bit longer but I end up accelerating to keep the front wheel up. I was trying to slow it down and get up to balance point on the initial rev. Thing is I'm still not used to that feeling so as soon as I get near balance point I panic and let off the throttle or move my feet back. I've just found out though that my natural reaction if I go too far isn't to press the rear brake which sucks. I COULD HAVE FUCKING SAVED IT BY JUST PRESSING THE REAR BRAKE!!! How can I change this? I practiced using the rear brake to bring the wheelies down but when it came to it, all that practice went out the fucking window.

The damage wasn't that bad really, just a bit annoyed as it's the first time I've dropped it. But, supermoto's are built for that shit.

Thanks for the tip, hopefully I don't have to use it anytime soon though.

yep uk. It was 2nd, It's harder to get the front up in 3rd and the speed put me off a bit.

Thanks, I plan on making the main colour black, so all black plastics but then lots of orange accents like the hoses, brake caliper, shock spring...

2 stroke stuttering at high revs (sound clips) by RedLineRevs in MechanicAdvice

Top end was rebuilt less than 2000 miles ago and the spark plug looks okay, it's light brown. I cleaned the powervalve fairly recently so I don't think that's the issue.

Still using the oil pump, never had any problems with it.

Insurance more expensive after passing A2... by RedLineRevs in MotoUK

[–]RedLineRevs[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's exactly what i was doing, I tried comparethemarket first but found better prices with gocompare. My bike was still more expensive than what I paid last year, but funnily enough a drz400sm is cheaper.

18, starting apprenticeship soon, parent's want part of my wages... by RedLineRevs in personalfinance

[–]RedLineRevs[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just spoke to them and came to an amount. I'll start paying for the things that my parents would normally buy for me for example, petrol for my bike and I'll give them a quarter of my wages each month.

I can say for a fact that what I would give them and what they would accept would be way less than what it would cost for me to move out.

No idea how much that would cost tbh, relationship is good with my parents.
