Monos in top gear??

[Trashthumpy]

I was reading way back in the threads that people were having trouble monoing in top gear my 04 thumpstar does it fine and its only a 110!! standard gearing aswell only minor engine work. i have trouble keeping it on the ground!

You must be light if you can get the front wheel off in 4th, the three 80cc 2 strokes i ride with can't even do this, but 4 strokes are a lot torquier but still sounds a bit unbelieveable on stock gearing. My monkey bike pictured in my avatar mono's pretty easy due to a very short wheel base and it is a 3 valve 110cc with 26mm mikuni and only monos in 2nd.

my thumpstars got the three down gearbox. im not that light 65 70Kg

 

[mjc85]

Is it a semi auto ? Must be short gears

 

[crazzy #1]

well there you go, your finnal gear is proberly ratio'd different compared to many of ours... even with the 138 it is difficult to do it in 3rd... unless you stand up

 

[Trashthumpy]

hell yes it does get annoying

 

[pugs5l]

if you know how to do a mono its easy.and a decent 80 should lift every gear if you want it to but most people sit nearly on the tank to keep em down .

 

[mad man]

i bet u got 10' depends on back wheel size its heeps easy with the small one, most ppl have bigger ones i thinkorz

 

[pugs5l]

yep keeps the bike in proportion.little bikes need little wheels.bigger wheels are more stable(less fun) but rob you of torque.keep the minis mini!!!! they are ment to be a second bike afterall

Yea,
My Mojo pop's up in top no worries........

 

[mjc85]

Rear swing arm shap would have a lot to do with it

mine wheelies like a mofo. all throught 1st 2nd 3rd 4th, its all about getting it to the height and holding it there

 

[pascal125]

i can do mono's in 3rd gear but that's standing up, havn't tried a mono while sitting down yet, well once i did, it was a massive wheelie but not intentional, i let the cluth out way 2 fast, had trouble holding on & accidently gave it heaps of throttle.

 

[pascal125]

iampetey, once you are in a wheelie, once the wheel is high enough u hav 2 remember 2 keep leaning back heaps & giving it tonnes of throttle to keep the gravity on ur side.

once its at ballance point u dont need the throtle 4 **** i can do costers 4 about 25 meters no throtle and thrashthumpy i had a similar bike got some forks of the 50 and it was the same height of the crf 50 its cause ur 4orks are long!!
true

 

[jwe97015]

not 2 long just long

 

[Mack]

Yeah some of those old 110's are great wheelstand machines. Its 'cause of the short swingarm and 10" wheels. Your gearbox is a rotary style that was in heaps of early bikes.

(Yep your right You know what your doing.) I dont mean to be rude but come on Some of you people must be hopeless what are you guys doing ?? Getting it in 2nd or 3rd and just trying to pop it up and holding it till it wont stay up no more ?? You guys need to rethink how your doing it now i must admit i dont own a pit bike atm but im about to buy one thats why im on this forum trying to figure out whats good and whats not but i do own a wr250f atm and i can lift it in 1st 2nd 3rd no worries but if i want to hold it up i need to find that balance point and go for 4th gear and 5th gear using brakes and throttle. So i would practice this at slow speeds first finding that balance point and holding it as lond as you can then going for the next gear and doing it all the same each gear. IF YOU CAN GET IT UP IN FIRST YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO GET IT UP IN EVERY GEAR WITH PRACTICE
