1st ride with my GY-5 - Page 2

a larger sprocket, will do it but u will loose top end. mine is strictly set up for dirt thats why it has more torque.

No offense, but I'd call that more of a "whoa I popped the clutch I better set it down"

Savage · 03-23-2007, 09:15 AM

Here's how you wheelie. LOL

I went out and rode ALL day long one Saturday and had LOTS of fun but got sunburnt. The next day I went out and rode and shattered my legs within the first 5 minutes. In the ER they had to scrub out my "road rash" on my sunburnt skin. FUN! :x

Sorry you got hurt, but I think it's good seeing hot-doggers eat it... even back when I was a hot-dogger I felt that way. It's like a "he got what he deserved" thing.... but if ya can't laugh about it later then what ya gonna do.

Here's a looput video from a guy on an mx board I'm on.

Went out there again this evening. Had a blast! I still feel like I'm riding like an old man compared to how I use to but maybe that will keep me safe.
VERY happy with the bike. I don't know if I would want to gear it any lower because on some of the hills I was revving it up pretty good in 1st gear at the top of the hill. Flew up a couple in 2nd and got some unexpected air. lol I would only want the lower gearing so I could pull some wheelies here and there. :wink:
There was a guy out there on a new CRF230. Didn't look any bigger or faster than mine and most importantly it wasn't any louder. LOL

Anywho... Fun times!

Hey, hope you can learn from that video, not trying to pick on you, and glad to see you got a helmet, watchin your videos and such, shorts aren't great riding gear

... Again I'm not trying to pick on you, just be nice to learn from his mistake then getting your own batch of road rash.

Not much sympathy from the youtube bloggers.

At least they appeared to be practicing on a non-public road.

A mesh jacket and gloves would have reduced his pain a bunch.
