get suspension but stock like for example:

#1 get health/medical insurance first then,
88 kit honda engine stiffer clutch springs then get
+1 for legs with +2 springs
bars clamps throttle
ishock
street tires
keep seat stock or tall depending on your liking
then after you started progressing with wheelies and stuff buy maybe a 12 bar check out the longer brake levers on the hubs
thats about all maybe a bottle or vicoden and some balls and a sore asss you got it

lol thanks ha well right now i have that china motor on a stock honda roller whould the stock forks be okay with like a the plus 1 legs and plus 2 springs and do you recomend a bar kit?

Xr50s4life

yea with the fork upgrade you still keep the stock uppers and bar kit is mandatory hahaha if your running stock bars right now your doing good and it will make you that much betterwhen you get the big bars

nope try to keep your suspension as hard as you can but still be comfortable because then it will be easier to wheelie and stunting will jst be easier all around.

Xr50s4life

yea springs and legs make your suspension harder same with an i shock

Zar

+1 fork legs and an I-shock are only needed if you really want you're 50 to be a little taller.

stock front end with a HD spring on the rear works fine. other than that: big bar kit, hand brake, street tires, rear pegs.

my current set up is: stock 50 motor, stock gearing, rear pegs, hand brake, extended rear brake arm, stock forks, HD spring on the rear, big bar kit, and a 12 bar on its way.

I agree with Zar, i don't think an ishock or +1 legs are needed at all, thats money that could be well spent on beer and strippers.

only aftermarket parts my 50 has is big bar kit, hand brake, extended rear brake arm, HD fork springs (I endo alot) and rear spring, rear pegs, street foot pegs, front pegs, a 12 bar, and sum bar ends. Other then that stock with spray painted and custom sticker jobbed plastics by me.

thats pretty much the best set up from what ive read...its what im shooting for with mine

i_roll_on_10s

get stiff springs for the front stock honda motor big bar kit 1/4 turn throttle.. and if u want get a 12 bar stunt peggs and hand brake.. STICK WITH KNOBS DONT GET STREET TIRES!!!!

MISFITSBOB

why??

Zar

knobs are terrible for circles and stoppies.

MISFITSBOB

yea they like to slide a little when i do stoppies. not sure if they are hurting my circles because i suck at them...i will have street tires soon

Zar

the street tires have better grip when you're doing tight circles. the profile of street tires also helps the bike turned in, so its easier to keep them going. i just did my first day on IRC street tires and noticed i a huge improvement on the how my circles were. before i had been using a Pirelli street tire. The Pirelli was wider and had a flatter profile than the IRC so it didnt turn in as well.

MISFITSBOB

what irc tires do you use? i just ordered some mb38's

Zar

Those are the same ones i use. Pretty much everyone else i ride with uses those to.

I have an 88 but its not needed. You need nothing to stunt a 50. But you would benefit most from a big bar kit(BBR/Protaper/50stunt), rear h/b(50stunt), rear pegs(50stunt), and stiffer front/rear springs(any brand). Thats about it,everything else is just bling.

i_roll_on_10s

hahaha everyone stunts with street i dont know what it is i just dont care for them i would rather stunt on knobs

Dr.Wreck

I beg to differ, I have stock knobies and I can do circles in 10ft- circumfierence(spelt wrong) with no problem, I can also stoppie about 30ft with the stock knobs.

To stunt, you dont need much, just balls, and an imagination. Try to keep he bike fairly stock, no aftermarket frames or swingarms. Things that will help you stunt, are a big bar kit, stiff springs, hand brake, stunt pegs, 12 bar, etc. All i have is a bar kit, and a 12 bar, and I do just fine.

Zar

i ran stock knobies for a while and did stoppies and circles. but now that i have street tires i feel like i wasted so much time and effort with the knobies. i can do much tighter cirlces and bring up a stoppie at much higher speeds than i could with knobs.

if you want to run knobs instead of street tires then go ahead. im just saying that i used to be that same way. then i was given a set of street tires and i never looked back.
