Dropped the CG125..

Not in its current state. I've already been seeking advice . CB125
front end was suggested amongst other options.

I'm game.

So Mr Eaton what would you and others here advise as affordable
modifications to the CG's brakes?

 

Not any more. Now I intend to thrash it to within an inch of its
little life.

I may have to sell the pink thing to finance my schemes <wanders off
cackling>

 

Don't waste any money doing so.

Bandit 12's are for stunting.

Nice.

Now you just need to learn how to do knee down at a walking
pace...

 

I've never clutched up a wheelie either.

The R6 did them perfectly off the power, the ZRX seems to as well, but
I'm more reluctant to try.

 

That bandit doesn't need to be clutched up.

Seriously.

Here's what worked for me:

1) on a straight road with not much traffic or camber.
2) be in first gear, at 10-15 mph.
3) open throttle hard.

The front wheel *will* come up. If it doesn't, then you
didn't open the throttle hard enough.

Cover the back brake and the clutch; if unhappy, pull the clutch
in and dab the rear brake, you'll back to earth.

Oh, and you might want to be careful of your nuts on landing...

Seriously. It's really easy on that bike in first off the
throttle.


(If you bin it, or break anything, it's not my fault, okay?)

 

It's (i think) easier on the clutch though...

(thinks back to a [eb]osm; might not be easier on the seat though)

 

I lobbed it because I didn't give myself enough time to get the front
wheel down and the forward motion ceased before an approaching
stationary vehicle hit me.

Gower teaches wheelies by the throttle method, because it's easier.
You just give it more gas. Clutching up has more (ok, one more) part
to it, so it's harder to get smooth. Also, with clutching up, you
might find that you hit the power suddenly, which might lead to
binning it. With throttling it up, you go up the powerband just as
you would if all wheels were on the floor, so it's easier to control.

 

I find it hard to wheelie with the clutch. I prefer to let oodles of
power do it for me.

 

Clutching is clearly useful when oodles of power is not available;
(Lozzo managed a couple of wheelies on claire's ZXR400, for example).
Oodles of power is clearly the way forward however.

 

Aren't you a bit old to find all that many buyers?

 

In UKRM?

 

Good point... Most of the posters here have already got one, or else
they are in the process of having one fitted.

and many have indeed become one.
