Put a "round" 12 bar on my bike now.. it's just a scrape bar to protect the tail (yeah I know the tail on mine is cut - but the new f4i im building is fully faired wtih stock fairings so it will look better on that!)

I did scrape the bar in spreader (sat on tankk with legs out) but the pics are on a different camera, not sure if he got a decent scrape pic but won't know till I see the pics.

and a random foot on cage circle pic

Fuel injection is better so ive been told.
CBR is made by Honda. Which means a solid engine.

Also parts are highly available. And not at bad prices either. Thumbs Up

There's no one that I know of stunting an R6 in the UK.. theres a few GSXR's about!! and there are now more 636's than f4is being stunted!!! there are LOADS of stunt 636's about now... they are more popular than the f4i over here now.... but I love my hondas.. they are bullet proof, parts are usually "okay" to get and "okay" prices... especially 600rr prices.. loads of 600rr's breaking on ebay (posers keep crashing them! muahaha) my next bike is going to be a 600rr I think. I was going to buy one now and sell my project stunter I'm building... but I'm thinking of just saving up for a deposit on a house and keeping the project stunter.............

and yes fuel injection is much better for stunt riding.

PSI is anything you feel comfortable with.

One of the stunters I ride with occasionally runs 15/20psi. But he doesn't carry a pump or anything. And obviously has to ride it on the road to wherever hes going to stunt too. So it cant be "too" flat.

Thanks for the comments guys Thumbs Up

Colin,

In those pics I don't know what the psi was.. I was starting at about 20 and it let itself down quite quick as there was a problem with the valve! rather annoying!!! It looks quite low in the pics, lower than I'd normally have.

I prefer to run 18psi and I now have a new tyre that doesn't leak Laughing

I'd reccomend learning on about 10-15psi. when you get into circles a slightly higher PSI like 18-25 ish makes it better (but harder... but its better trust me Very Happy)

Craig I do admire your skill!

I had another little blast on Keith's Fireblade the other night. But I was out in the Car, so I had shorts on, And a hoodie. And Keith's bash hat! Laughing

I suppose its what your use to, but I couldn't for the life of me clutch it up comfortably. It was soooo twitchy! Doesn't help that he is running a 1 finger clutch lever!!!
Also its a bit of a lump is that fireblade. Slightly bigger than my NC29 anyway. Laughing

Yeah but have you seen the size of keith.

He needs the mothership otherwise poor little 600's will look like pocket bikes beneath him.

I will probably make myself look a idiot.. But why is the back tire so de-inflated ? (Sorry, Don't even know if that is a word)

Lower tyre pressures make it more stable.. but my tyre is so flat because the valve is leaking and it goes flat very quickly ... its now been fixed, got a new tyre on and fixed valve..!
