a local motocross rider was selling his 230f and I got it for $1300 with the intention of learning to stunt on it. Done a few wheelies in the backyard of my house but not sure if I should take it in lots with knobby wheels.
The bike takes a while to warm up, it's geared down -2 in the back, not sure about the front, for racing, the throttle sticks awful, the electric starter was taken off and a custom button thing the guy made was put on to replace it.
I feel like it's not exactly the safest thing to learn stunting on but ah well, I got some good gear. I'll put up some pics soon maybe, but I guess I was just starting this post to get some tips. Anything about the 230f I should know about maybe, and tips for learning on a db. I want to move up to a big sportbike when I get the $$$ for it, but the look of the sumo is growing on me a lot. Too bad the price tag for those is usually higher
