Thanks... I'm leaning to far foward out of fear of looping I guess I need to take your advice and just cover the rear brake

I'm going to try staggered as soon as I get passenger rearsets

Lookin good bro! keep practicing and you'll get it, remember to have that rear brake covered in case it ever comes up quick. trying it staggered like you said isn't a bad idea either since that bike is a little low on power, should make it a little easier to get up

f4stunna, if you dont have anything positive or constructive to say, then shut the *** up! your garbage imature hating isn't needed and actually annoys most of us! (that goes for all the other haters as well)

Re: Learning

yeah just lean back n cover the brake.. don't put pressure on it cuz that bike doesn't have enough power to overcome it... just use it as worst case scenario.. try standups,, it'll come up easier,, and shut it john

RPM, what do you honestly want people to say here?

"GREAT JOB RPM, YOU'RE THE MAN!!!!"

"YOU AREN'T A COMPLETE ****UP BECAUSE YOU CAN DO THE NEXT BEST THING TO A POWER WHEELY!!"

I just don't get it.

I clutch up at 14K.... I think the reason it might be coming down is like the crtchrktrcr said I am putting pressure on the brake and i don't think i am realizing it.

inolen... I don't know maybe some constructive critisim and advice?

Thanks John! BTW: I am going to go out to the spot once I get a pickup truck that way I can get some tips from pro stunters so to speak.

Re: Learning

i think thats all that bike is going to do is POP a wheelie...have a special sprocket made (i don't think they make a stunt one for the 250) and if you're popping it up @ 14000 you're allready @ the rev limiter......no gear to ride out, thats why its coming back down....only chance would be to get it to BP as quick as possible, and then you could ride it

You've been around here for years, you know how to do a wheelie. You haven't even got a grip on the basics yet, so it's not like people can give you any more advice than that (like clutch it more, and use the back brake). With that said, what constructive criticism and advice are you expecting?
