 | I was wondering if anyone (i realize this sound immature) knows a good place to get stunt sprockets for my bird and what sizes to use.. I was wheeling from 1st through 3rd and it gets going way too fast ...front tire chirps and little smoke as it touches down at 160 - 170 kmh. slight wobble .. would like to slow it down a little and still have some fun.  | ||

the reason you have to go that fast to maintain the wheelie is because the bird has a very high balance point. your gonna have to chase the wheelie no matter what size your sproket is i would suggest a steering dampener to cure the wobble. but if your really looking to throw it up easier i would say just grab a set of vortex sprokets -1 in the front and +2 in the rear

I can tell you from firsthand experience that you can put a 12/49 combo with the stock chain length. First gear is basically useless, unless you have a slick and wheelie bars which is why I know those gears will work  |

eek 12: 49 ! sounds like fun - i must try it sumday i drive round in 3rd gear most of the time ( 20 to 70mph ) - i am tempted to lower the gearing so i get more punch in 3rd on full throttle when i do crack it open on th eodd occasion ( im very lazy and dont like changing gears u see) |

the bird is not a stunt bike... my advice, buy a stunt bike (cbr600RR or F4i, RC51, or similar) and save the bird for canyon carving/commuting... you'll do better stunts, and won't risk damaging the bird or hurting yourself as badly...
