I've been messing around with sitdown wheelies for a couple weeks now in the lot, and am getting pretty comfortable with the front end coming up. I want to do standups so I can see where I am going, damn tank blocks my view.
Only problem is when I stand up staggered or both feet on the pegs I am leaning way over the front of the bike, and feel like I'm going to get shot off the front when she comes down hard. Is this normal, or do I just have to work on my landings more? Does height have anything to do with this?

 

Your height has nothing to do with it. Just give it gas as it comes down, and don't ride the gear out to high rpms where there is a **** ton of engine brake... either hit bp or put it down before the thing is wrapped out.

 

Don't lean over the front then. When you initiate the stand up your kind of looking down at your fender but as soon as it starts coming up u wanna lean back to help it along.....Plus it looks cooler. Practice makes perfect..Infact if you can do sit downs well, just stand up while doing one and go from there to get the feeling...good luck.

 

Lean back it will help alot and pratice being smooth with the throttle

 

like dude above said, slow a sitdown then try to standup(in staggered). I learned sitdowns the opposite way,by slowing standups and sitting down. also turning the bars out makes standups way more comfortable.

 

staggered standups are easier to learn than sitdowns... go from sitdown to standup, LOL, that's like telling someone trying to learn spreaders to just jump to them from seat stander

 

I worked on them the other day, just have to get used to being over the front of the bike I guess. Haven't gotten shot of the front, yet...

 

I was honestly truely thinking of doing this the other day... figured it would have been a bad idea!!

 

^not if you can do SS and spreaders.. It's not that far to jump to spreader if you jump from the front pegs. Thats some advice I got that had me doing it pretty quick.
