1st or 2nd gear. Seems like first is so hard to keep goin and if you try to use the break it wants to stall out .... i can get completely around once then either stalls or starts to fall, or i lean in to far. Any advice?

 

first gear for me

Second would be way to fast to get a tight circle i'd think


People always told me to sit really far forward on the seat, but I never got a circle like that..
One day I was sitting fairly far back on the seat, and it just clicked.. I went from hitting 1 maybe 2 circles, to nailing 6 in a row.. Then did it again and nailed another 6.

Street tires should help also.. I learned on street tires

Also before you even attempt circles, make sure you can wheelie for blocks and blocks.. If you don't have balance down perfect then adding in a circle will probably get you no where.

Also, maybe try with no brake.. I never use my brake cause I never learned control lol.. I just bring it up, lean, and if I start to fall inwards, I give it a lil gas and it brings it back up.. If that makes sense?

 

I have break control... i can scrape 12 or come to almost a stop and go again. can go for 2 miles if i wanted to in a wheelie.. have street tires.

maybe i just need to practice more LOL i was getting 1 in the first 15 mins and only practiced for about 45 mins

 

I just got circles down a couple weeks ago and it just clicked.. it was weird

I never got close to doing 3 or more.. then all the sudden I nailed 6.. Now I can nail 6+ most the time

 

good advice


circles are all about the tc fu#k the brake who needs it anyways

 

first gear for tight ones..secodnd gear for faster wider ones

 

they will click one day soon, once you've gotten the general idea, you'll get it in no time.

brake control is important to me though

if your going to highside, let off gas/use brake, when you think you're gonna fall inwards, gas it and it'll stand up again

i can do them till i'm dizzy, adn finally can do figure 8 stand ups in first

i can come in a wheely topped out in second adn slow it down into very tight circles ...practice, practice, practice you'll get it

 

thanxs...i got some full ones lastnite, but i seem like when i get to the point where i started it turns out and goes the other way, but ill get it just like everything else PRACTICE

 

I agree w/ one day it just clicks. tried them for a few weeks straight then didnt ride it for a month or so went back out and been killin circles since bone stock 50 **** and all. Street tires would def. make it better IMO

 

i do em in first, using mostly throttle control, tap the brake if it tried to fall out of the circle, gas if it falls in. Tried lots of different seat and standing positions. sitting with my *** off to the right seems to help a little on left and vice versa for right circles

 

i got an xr70...any advice on doing circles on that...should i turn up the idol or somethin?

Any advice would be great.

 

1st gear is usless on my bike, i have an 88cc kit with cam & 15t front spk
and i carn't use first for anything! maybe a wheelie that gets 1cm an hour.
any one else have this problem? i've been thinking about going back to 50cc

 

i agree it helps if my big *** sits a little off to one side, also beware of your feet, cant put too much pressure on the pegs that will throw you way off

 

I still can't really get them. I have to tap my inside foot on the ground once or twice per revolution. Just waiting for them to click.

 

i love the 88 a guy i ride with just got one and when i ride it my circle combos are 10 times smoother and i do every thing in first it just gives you that little edge if you do let it fall a little you can just pick it right back up and it doesnt even look like you missed a beat but with the stock fiddy if you let it fall going from podium to special k or some other combo that changes the weight on the bike u have to try a lot harder to get it back up bp
