wheelie question??
kk my wheelies are gettin a lot better :YEAH but some times i just cant seem to stop the bike bearin off normaly to the curb
i no the camber on the rd dont help 2...iv heard you just aply more wight to your foot when you want to turn that way but sometimes im leanin right off the bike and it still wont go that way????any clues would help??? i think once iv got this i will be doin some fookin long 1s... :YEAH :YEAH Re: wheelie question??
some times leaning works for me but i've found that puttin prescer on the foot of the side you wont to go helps but at the same time leanin back.
just keep tryin it even when you dont wont to turn for pratice
they dont look to bad to me :YEAH

Loosen your grip on the bars and grip of your knees on the tank.
I'd 70% bet thats got a lot to do with it. But it's worth trying anyway.
If not, then check tyre condition, pressures, suspension etc.

Who knows..
Oh and suspension can effect any riding let alone wheelies.
Badly set up or in need of service could deffo make the bike wobble/veer etc! so can tyres and air pressures.

Re: wheelie question??
I just got over the veering L or R thing. Make sure you get a good straight sight-line (aim for someone), If you're on bike with clip-on bars, straighten both your arms so your back is straight, but don't lock out your elbows.
And like the guy said - no deathgrip on the bars, use the knees to hold on most.
Get the bike up from real low speed (gear it low) almost standstill, and you'll be able to move the buttcheek/shoulders L and R (like your fidgeting - think of your girly asking for commitment).
The front end comes up slower from a standstill(ish) and you can focus more on the weight distribution in the split second b4 you get to BP.
If it doesn't go to BP with feeling comfortable that your steering it - put it down and try again.
Worked for me,- or you could learn it on a fiddy first.
