hey guys new to minis not to riddin. just bought a used 06 thumpstar! love it. but i should have done some research. turns out i should have bought a crf 50 if all i wanted to do is stunt it. anyway too late now. i will try to attach a pic. anyway its an 06 thumpstar 120. any advice for stuntin? man i cannot get slow wheelies down!!! not even on my big bike! but ALMOST all other types of wheelies i can do on the big bike. this mini is fun though. i dont have much seat time on it yet. does anyone make a 12 bar for this thing?
thanks for your time

didnt you read the part where i said "not much seat time"? i said i needed help with slow wheelies. i wasnt postin the pic to show off. its just one of the only pics i have. and what the he^* does "bottom of the grease barrel better there nicklenuts" mean?
oh and thanks for helpin with the pic to the guy that posted it!

Alright, a little practice. It's not how much throttle you give it but lean back and pull the weight off the ground and throttle it only as much as need be. Most of anything is you, not the bike. Control that sucker.

You could actually still mod the bike a little to make it a real stunter!

no problem, when you use photobucket copy the IMG code. its the bottom code out of the four

grabagear2 · 06-21-2008, 12:31 AM

thanks for the helps guys!!!
what mods would turn this thing into a decent stunter. yeah i know even the best stunt biek wont help if you dont have some skill and practice. but any bit of help works right?

Go down on the countershaft sprocket . You prob. have a 17 or 16 ,go with a 14 or 13 . That will make it a little better .

project-c2 · 06-21-2008, 11:03 AM

All stock. Just some rear pegs and make a rear HB system. Slow wheelies, I start off in 1st gear. Rev up a little and drag the rear brake. Then throttle and release the rar brake. Then it's all throttle control. Might have a hard time balancing left to right at the beginning. Comes with practice.

My friend Tony practicing. This was his second time out too.

Keep practicing, you'll get it.

TripleKingCrew · 06-21-2008, 11:10 AM

You could sell it and get a stock 50

That is also a good option worth looking into.

i_roll_on_10s · 06-21-2008, 06:07 PM

best bet is to sell and get a stock 50 wats hurting u is the height of the bike and the length of the swinger seat time is key u need to learn ur balance point also as soon as u find ur balance point its all about throttle control

grabagear2 · 06-21-2008, 08:04 PM

how do you guys feel about the drz70 do you think it is better than the crf because of the bigger motor?

i_roll_on_10s · 06-21-2008, 08:55 PM

no need for a bigger motor while stunting the stock xr50 motor works great

grabagear2 · 06-21-2008, 10:46 PM

ok that was a stupid question. sorry. i just answered it myself by doin some research. it just popped in my head while i was readin the posts.
well looks like i will be lookin to sell the thumpstar for a 50

at least then i could get parts for the darn thing!

project-c2 · 06-22-2008, 10:27 AM

There you go. Then again. I just put in a TB 88 borekit gotta relearn everything. You don't have to use so much body english to keep it balanced, just give more gas. lol

+1 on getting a Honda 50

i_roll_on_10s · 06-22-2008, 03:31 PM

idk its a personal preference but i think a stock motor is the way to go no need for an 88 ne1 can stunt that stunting a stock motor teaches u balance point and throttle control with the bigger motors all u do is give it gas.. if u wanna stick with a true stunter go with a stock motor
