Or unless you get a good deal. I just purchased myself an 04 zx6r for $800 lol. Clean title and all the goodies.

I think that will have to be a spring project (time and MONEY permitting)

Your doing great, nice to watch your progres.

I have an F4i......

RedStar · 10-31-2011, 07:31 AM

636 has more power

Why did all of you buy stunt bikes and then quit couple weeks later?

Delusnl · 10-31-2011, 12:07 PM

just seems like the guys who have it down are spinning alot slower, But i know nothing about stunting.

Good progress though!

Have always wanted to try it. I have i enjoyed it quite a bit, but just don't have the time to practice get where I want to be. And too many other damn hobbies that take time and money and not a big enough paycheck coming in.

But F4i's are build like tanks and can take the pounding.

RedStar · 10-31-2011, 01:33 PM

Thats very true Andy. A f4i is a monster. Wish I had one when I started, I think I would have progressed a lot faster!

HOWEVER! Now that I did get the hang of it, the idle on my 636 is amazing, my friend has f4i and he is twitchy as hell, and he rode for over a year, stunting lol.

As for time. its about making time lol.

I come home around 7. Eat, and hit the lot. Usually out there around 830 and stay out till 12. Then come home, shower, sleep, go to work. Repeat!

The time and hard work you are putting in really shows. Good Job!!!

RedStar · 10-31-2011, 09:10 PM

Got some stunt parts today!!!

Had to do some fabricating to round bar because the maker didn't calculate holes properly (very sad)

Anyhow, a shitty pic. Will get a better one tomorrow.

I will be painting gas tank black once I dent it in.

I already have another set of 05/06 forks laying in garage. Just waiting on rotors to arrive!

Got them on ebay for $150 shipped

Ming · 10-31-2011, 10:29 PM

nice find! can't wait to see you rockin stoppies on the new piece!

RedStar · 10-31-2011, 11:25 PM

iv been actually playing around with them on my 05. Starting to get more comfy getting higher.

RedStar · 10-31-2011, 11:42 PM

Cleaned up my wires before going to bed!
Hid all my wires inside the frame, removed keyswitch from top and will relocate under the seat.
Also ordered sprocket, and braided brake lines.

Will order chain tomorrow.

This bike will be ready to drift/wheelie soon!

RedStar · 11-06-2011, 07:03 PM

Went out today again to practice some more drifting.

2nd day so far, Still cannot drift away.

BuellCru · 11-06-2011, 07:27 PM

Looks good man. May I make a suggestion? I think if you are in a more open spot you could practice a flat track style of steering which will allow you to utilize the throttle more to control your slide. It looks like you're trying to do donuts instead of drifting. Think of the old speedway racing saying "Turn left to go right, right to go left and nail the throttle to slow down". A drifter doesn't steer into the turn but instead whips the rear out and counter steer to control the slide.

Hope this makes sense.

RedStar · 11-06-2011, 07:28 PM

Yeah it does Travis. What I am actually still kinda learning is to break that rear tire into a drift. I still sometimes don't throttle hard enough and end up almost highsiding.

Also what the pros around town told me, to be able to have the drift go straight or wider, I need to bring my body up a bit more, right now as soon as I dip it I kinda lean in a bit, which causes it to be very sharp circles and not big round once. So I hope in one or two more sessions I will be the first process of breaking that rear tire down on lock and I can actually start lifting my body a little higher so I can actually drift forward rather then small donuts lol.

BuellCru · 11-06-2011, 07:38 PM

Sweet, progress is coming along good.

RedStar · 11-06-2011, 07:39 PM

Well slow. I havn't been out since I made that last vid. So I hope to start going out again some more. But tonight after starting to do some basic fixing up on my bike I realized I already cracked my new subframe lol.

Hopefully will be riding my 04 this weekend. That bike will be so much more fun!

RedStar · 11-12-2011, 08:06 PM

Little progress. Love my 04!

Fooled around with Photoshop today.

RedStar · 02-13-2012, 02:12 PM

Two clips. The circle one is old. The stoppie crash is new.

I hope to soon make a 1 year review comp of me starting to where I am now.

Looks like fun. Maybe a steering stabilizer in your future?

BuellCru · 02-14-2012, 02:12 AM

That's shitty, good half way save though.

RedStar · 02-18-2012, 05:56 PM

Took out my new 636 today. Was different but was able to wheelie this full stock machine!

Coyotte78 · 02-18-2012, 07:43 PM

Wireing in a manual fan switch helps keep bikes cooler as well, stunting and in traffic need to get one on the R6.

PoltArt · 02-18-2012, 07:54 PM

Looks great Sergey! Is it a lot harder to keep it in idle with stock gearing?

RedStar · 02-18-2012, 07:55 PM

Yeap, all the stunters do that. And we add a 2nd fan

RedStar · 02-18-2012, 07:56 PM

Actually no. Once you get it up there idle pulls good.

RedStar · 03-31-2012, 09:19 PM

Progress clip from today.

First day trying to use no hands. And one hand circles.
Also attempting seat standers with handbrake.

It is so good to see how far you and your brother have come. You both are doing awesome!!! Keep the progress coming, both of you!!!

RedStar · 03-31-2012, 09:24 PM

Thanks Don! I kinda wana get me another 02 gsxr 1000 and not flip a wheelie this time lol.

Pimpit · 04-01-2012, 07:47 AM

If you're gonna go with another GSXR 1k go 05/06. They are the best years of the GSXR 1ks

RedStar · 04-01-2012, 10:35 AM

Nope! I love me 02. Most comfy gsxr imo.

RedStar · 04-21-2012, 09:06 PM

Got me some brake lines so I decided while installing them I would redo my front end and have both of my masters connected to one resavor to save space.

And I am ready to drift!

RedStar · 04-30-2012, 07:04 PM

Wheelie pic from this weekend.

normanrc51 · 04-30-2012, 09:17 PM

Looking good as always man. Keep that wheel up!

RedStar · 05-05-2012, 07:14 PM

Crashed my bike on my way to work the other day (Damn Atlanta Traffic). So now it is going to be street fighter.
