right me and my team mate have been practicing stoppies recently. never really practiced them before. so we thought we would go for a limited approuch so we said 80ft. so were trying to get it high straight away and get some distance. were getting about 100ft now is that good or ****. plus what pressure is best? and any other tips would be good. :YEAH

 

+1 what tire pressure?

 

Sounds like your doing pretty good. I don't know if I can hit 100ft from an unlimited approuch.
I read somwhere that if your distance is double your approuch then your doing really good.

 

thats good to hear man. i well wanna learn long stoppies more than anything.

 

I run 28 psi but my stoppies are ****! they used to be the **** back in 03 but cats today hittin 654654654316844 feet all day long on a 2 foot approuch

 

your doin pretty damn good . if u manage to double your doin alot better than i am !! as to psi , its all personal preff . i know people that run in the 30's , and others that run 16-18 and they both kill it . i run 25 . hope this helps and keep practicing

 

run the highest pressure you can without your tire skidding

 

Does tire pressure make that big of a difference with the tire skidding? I can't seem to get my tire (brand new pilot power) to pick up over say, 20mph. I'm gonna fiddle with my suspension, but also I run whatever tire pressure cyclegear put in the tire when they changed it, which I imagine is 30-40.

 

big time, but compression damping does too. Make it soft, and make the rebound damping hard.

 

100' with 80' approach? are you going downhill with a 30mph wind on your back?


I'm gonna have to say...........

 

Yes the PSI will effect the temp of the tire the lower it is the hotter the tire will get and the sticker!! try dropping it to 25-30 PSI

 

why you say that. we got guys killing loads more than that at some of the spots we go to.

 

i say thats pretty good. and like mikem said run the highest pressure you can without the tire skidding. its a good rule of thumb to start

 

what kind of bike are you using and what front end is on it?

 

07 zx6r mate and its all stock front end with standered front pads cus i havent changed them. cheers for the comments guys. it does have a 60t sprocket and im hitting the top of the revs then bringing it up.

 

thats a good set up. i like my stock brake pads. 100 ft on 80ft approach is pretty good. all i can say is practice practice practice! keep up the good work. and if "mike m" is who i think it is he is "kinda good" at stoppies. he will have some good advice.

 

umm.... you've never done stoppies have you? its not that hard, i can roll 95 ft on a 80ft approach. and thats on a dirtbike, that has 1/2 the acceleration as my f4i.
