Sitdowns and circles
Thought it be time to work on slow sitdowns and still trying to get SS Os at best maybe a little over 2. End up slowing down too much during them and having to slip the clutch before stalling the bike. Find my self needing to slip the clutch a bit going left at times.
More practice 2 then 3 and so.

Re: Sitdowns and circles
looking good joe ..
the first two seconds of the video when you slammed the bike down on the tail you took your foot off the brake and thats why it slammed down if you would have stayed on the brake you would have just touched down gently or you could have even pulled in the clutch and saved it ..
whats your idle set at and what gear are you running ?

Re: Sitdowns and circles
i think it was just the oh **** reaction with that sitdown, gearing I got 15/60, and idle i've been playing with but 3500 is about the norm, higher when workin on sitdown idle.

3500 is good i just asked cause you seem a little more choppy then usual so i thought maybe you turned it down ..smooth out the chop and you will be good

Re: Sitdowns and circles
my bike was idling shitty, like it would bounce off 3500, hit it and back off then rev up to it and back off... some seafoam seemed to help, checked the obvious vacum lines and all was fine. Engine brake seems a lot stronger(sensitive) now, doesn't coast as much off throttle. Any idea about that?

Nice Joe!! Man have you come a long way......especially since you broke your foot earlier this year. I came to the vids section just to see if you had anything new up...
Good ****, bro!
Hows your foot doing....back to normal?

Re: Sitdowns and circles
The foot is solid again, little less range of movement but works, and yours? Lower back is pretty fucked, chronicly for 8+ months MRI monday. Probally work on the SS Os then see the Doc. and find out what is wrong. Ride 1 day recover 6 isn't a good equation.

Re: Sitdowns and circles
Sorry to hear about your back, bro..... I'm a big ***** when it comes to back or neck pain.....I'm lucky I don't have any at this point in my life. Hope you can get it figured out.......you're right.....that equation SUCKS!!
Good luck, bro!
