My advice is if you dont have the nerve, do not try it. Stay safe on 2 wheels and enjoy that RR.

oh hell YES i get that urge! i used to stunt the hell out of my yfz450....i had balance point, brake control, throttle control all down packed. i had such a blast on that quad, i swear. just like riding our bikes is our release in life.........when i had that quad (before my bike), stunting that was my release. wouldnt think about ANYTHING besides the good damn time i was having on....two wheels, lol.

when i used to stunt my quad, i'd go do it behind industrial parks w/ friends that stunted streetbikes, quads, db's, 50's....always LOVED stunting.

but i too am scared to attempt anything on the F4i. i can get it up in 1st gear in the powerband, no clutch but its only about 2' and for about 10' lol. thats enough for me. i'd LOVE to know how to stunt, i love stunting.....just dont see it being worth wrecking my minty ride and having no toy.

When I got my first bike, I would go out late at night to parking lots and practice. After I started to get the hang of it, I lost all interest. Now I wont lie to you, when I see someone clutch it up and pull off a long *** stand I am impressed. I just think its not for everyone. I can do one if I want, but I dont have the urge to do it. I would rather have the front come up on me pulling out of a tight bender.

Must admit, a few years ago when I had the use of a GSXR for about three months. Which had some serious modifications it was almost impossible to keep the front tire on the ground. I remember one occasion, refusing to back off the throttle and found myself struggling to get up right on the pegs to see where in the hell I was at on the road. It is truly a awesome feeling, but most definitely is not proper conduct a activity, which is much better suited to a close course so my suggestion is buy a stunt cage take it somewhere safe. Gear up and get it out of your system at least learn how to control raring horse

I am not saying I havent done it, but I dont do it regularly, or nearly at all. About 4 months ago was the last time, at night at a bike night. I am not a fan of doing it on the road.
