Having trouble doing endos.

I just started trying endos on my freinds 50 i can get them rolling for about 4 or 5 feet then it comes down. I dont pull the brakes in that hard and i dont know if i need to get the back wheel in the air some more. I'd appreciate some tips. Thanks

Re: Having trouble doing endos.

To do longer stoppies, you have to go faster and get the back wheel up higher. My tip is: try it in 3rd and wear some safety gear! Full face helmet for sure.

Re: Having trouble doing endos.

you gotta loop a few times to find the BP. big bars help. i've also got a 50stunt extended brake arm and it only requires two fingers to get decent braking force. on stock brakes, i need to use all four fingers.

does anyone use grip tape on the fairings? i find the bike comes up much easier if i grip the tank with my thighs.

You Have To Hit The Balance Point Fast As Possible. Defitly Wear A Full Face And Decent Gloves

It's just like a wheelie, you have to feather the brake. Once at the balance point you're going to ease off. If you go past it, you'll go over, if it starts to come down you ease back on it to keep lift. Hit it hard to bring it up, add water, feather as needed.
