With hand off the clutch about 7mph in 1st. As Jeff stated, Walking pace or less depending on your balance using clutch.you can go on ST? I curious how slow I can crawl on trails.
Having a flashed ECU, all throttle cable slack dialed out and carfully balanced throttle bodies helps a lot with the jerkyness.7 mph on first gear? that's quite good, although first is usually too jerky when correcting, so usually I ride in second
so I hope it's too high.
well, if you go fast enough they won't even notice.How fast can you go? Fast as you can till you get caught.
Not entirely true. You are stuck with the sprocket sizes that are manufactured and will fit on your bike. And you compromise speed somewhere else unless you change transmission gears. You could do this on the S10 as well (not practical).I meant of course going dead slow without touching the clutch, on chain bikes I can easily adjust this by changing sprockets
but with ST I am stuck with whatever gear ratio they gave me.
It’s down to you my friend. How slow can YOU ride?I meant of course going dead slow without touching the clutch, on chain bikes I can easily adjust this by changing sprockets

Unfortunately it's not that simple. I guess not many here ride off-road, technical terrain judging on responses I got, but that's ok.It’s down to you my friend. How slow can YOU ride?
Yes, it is indeed a Big Bike, but it’s a big bike with very good balance and a flexible and forgiving motor. As some of my fellow Forum members have said, put it in T mode and away you go. Lots of us ride off-road, many of us have competed in Trials, Enduros and Moto-Cross and ridden both fast and slow off-road over technical terrain as you will find for yourself if you browse this Forum. You may as well have asked “how long is a piece of string”, but without stating what your level of experience actually is. I am assuming if you have to ask, then you have little experience. This is a friendly, helpful and polite Forum full of many people with rich and varied view points and experience, but with a common love and respect for the Super Ten and it’s vast capabilities, so please do not make an unqualified assumption that “not many here ride off-road, etc”.Unfortunately it's not that simple. I guess not many here ride off-road, technical terrain judging on responses I got, but that's ok.
It's big bike, I can understand. Never mind, soon I'll get to test ST myself.
And when you do, a lot of the questions you have will be answered by your own direct, first hand experience. Until then, you have to accept our direct, first hand experience. 7 mph is the slowest I've gone regularly in 1st gear. The bike is not jerky, the rider is. It's all about the rider learning to balance a smaller range of throttle movement smoothly.Unfortunately it's not that simple. I guess not many here ride off-road, technical terrain judging on responses I got, but that's ok.

That doesn't even makes sense. Why would you want to do that?I meant of course going dead slow without touching the clutch....
I remember those beasts!!Not entirely true. You are stuck with the sprocket sizes that are manufactured and will fit on your bike. And you compromise speed somewhere else unless you change transmission gears. You could do this on the S10 as well (not practical).

There are plenty of other bikes that might be a better fit for you. You might go look at a Honda Trail 90. It has a High/Low transmission AND you can change sprocket sizes.
Or maybe a Rokon is what your looking for. Two wheel drive, slow like you want. CVT transmission.
Be thankful you have so many choices out there.

Boy, isn't that the truth!! It's something I really have to work on. I'm a slow rider as it is but doing lock to lock turns on this bike is going to take some practice. And yes it's all about clutch control. This is what I'm working on right now. The 2 finger modulation is going to take some time. I have gotten lazy over the years by using the relying on the Rekluse on both my KTM 300 and Beta.Fast? Anybody can ride fast; slow reveals how well you can actually ride.
