Stuntride Motorcyle Stunt Bike Set Up (for beginners)???? - SIC Nate - 05-21-2012
I just read the stickied thread above and it doesn't really seem to match the title... seems more like a product ad thread than a set up recommendation
Anyway, here's my list of recommendations:
- A good soft compound front tire
- A good chain and sprockets, preferably larger than stock
- An easy pull clutch lever
- Good set of stock rear brake pads (OEM preferred)
- High quality, high temperature brake fluid
- Crash Cage
- 12 bar
- Increase rebound on forks (turn hex on top of forks clockwise - make sure both sides are even)
- Set dampening on front forks and rear shock to 90% hard (all the way and then back off a little - there are two adjustments - one on top and one at the bottom of each shock)
- Idle adjuster
- Shorter or shortened exhaust for bikes without undertail exhaust
- Bypass the tip-over sensor
- Do the PAIR mod
- Oli pickup mod if available
- Overfill your oil some...usually to the top of the site glass
- Replace coolant with Evans, Liquid Performance or Engine Ice
- Wire cooling fan to turn on with ignition or to a switch
- Hand brake system
- Aftermarket upper stay (if full fairing)
- Aftermarket clip ons, turn out clip ons, flip clip ons, or add dirtbike bars
- Billet rearsets are much stronger and less likely to break
- Steel Braided front brake lines
- Steering Stabilizeer
- Dented Gas Tank with some sort of traction
- Replace fork springs with stiffer spring rate and/or heavier weight fork fluid and/or revalve forks
- Add a subcage/subframe reinforcement
- Add pegs to front and rear axles
- Adjustable levers

That sounds like a pretty advanced setup. For a true beginner who wants just the basic shit and can add on all the bells and whistles as he learns, i'm thinking:
Cage
12 bar / round bar (up to preference i guess)
Big rear sprocket
And that is really all you need to start the fun. Even the 12 bar/rear sprocket isnt 100% necessary but I think they'd be the most highly recommended by most people for getting started.
And then start adding on fun stuff as you get more comfortable with your bike and your skills improve:
Clipons (or flip stock ones)
Easy pull clutch
Hand brake
Tank Dent
All the other shit you mentioned, etc.
But of course some of the maintenance ones can be done right off the bat (brake fluid, decent pads, good tire, adjust suspension etc.)
