Cant scrape my 70.... gettin pissed

do you got to be 110 lbs or somethin to scrape a 70? or do you got to be goin 20mph? I weigh about two bills and I swear it seems impossible. someone got a vid?

I'm about 150-155 and can scrape my 70 in first...It's all technique. Seating position and brake control. The 70's bp is really far back too...

Re: Cant scrape my 70.... gettin pissed

i have a klx125 not quite the same thing but i would think same concept. just ride a nice steady bp wheelie and then push down on the brake slightly while giving it alittle more gas and let it come back, and youll scrape, staying on the gas helps keep it steadier and then depending on how fast you are going depends on if you will need to pull in the clutch or not and how high its revved. just dont be afraid to fall. i dont know if this helped but i can srape my fender and i started doing it this way and its alot more consistant for me. and then you can just clutch it real fast all the way up and back and then hit the brake hard but thats the janked way of doing them.

Re: Cant scrape my 70.... gettin pissed

Ive can scrape my cr125 but this little 70 has got to be fu*%in 2oclock to scrape. I like your idea of givin it a little more gas while braking, I dont think I was tryin it like that, I wuz just tryin to coast it

I scrape my 70 and I weigh 215. It took me a dozen tries to get it, but I ended up hitting it in the top of first gear, probly only 15mph or so. just keep tryin and you will scrape it.

Re: Cant scrape my 70.... gettin pissed

Re: Cant scrape my 70.... gettin pissed

i have my foot on it but not really on it until i go beyond the bp
the first couple times you may not scrape it because you prob get on the brake to early but after a couple youll get it

Re: Cant scrape my 70.... gettin pissed

Thats your problem your in first. Do it in second and use the "BACK BRAKE!". You really dont want to shift on a wheelie unless you have to.
