pitbike slow wheelie

So I can do circles and real slow wheelies on the brake and bp the problem I'm having is sideways balance I can keep the front at bp for ever but I keep putting my foot down mostly left foot to catch from falling left when trying to keep it straight if i dont put foot down I go into circle and can ride them out tyre press is low but I have knobblies on is this the prob .

Re: pitbike slow wheelie

...your prolly distibuting more of your weight to the left peg than the right one. or just leaning to the left
try shifting your weight around when you wheelie and you'll figure it out.

Re: pitbike slow wheelie

Is the rear wheel adjusted properly? I had that problem when the rear wheel was a bit out of line.

Re: pitbike slow wheelie

the brake will not make you start going to the left. If your wheel is on straight then its the input your are feeding your bike, bikes don't do things on their own, they only do what you tell them to do. So if you keep falling to the left...lean to the right. pay attention to how you have the pegs weighted with your own body weight, if you have more weight on your left foot the bike is gonna go to the left.

Re: pitbike slow wheelie

Try pulling the handlebar to the opposite direction. And lean.

I always had a problem of falling to the right while doing left handed circles. I eventually started turning the handlbar to the right and started pushing instead of pulling. Made the circles a little easier and definately made the fall direction change. The only problem i was having was when the bar falls, IF i wasnt prepared, then BAM i would bust my azz. Because the bar was turned opposite of the circle direction.........I will bet my left nut that his *** is off-center on the seat. He is more on the left side of his seat, rather than in the middle. Maybe if he changes his *** position a little more to the right, he will feel a change. Slowly keep changing his *** position until it makes improvement.........*** position will do that, LoL
