Fuqq HW wheelies i finally saw two cats doin slow wheelies in a lot close to me, can someone tell me how i should start doing these, or linke me to a good how-to thanks and do i need a FI bike ?

 

No you don't need FI.

Basically you need to go beyond BP and use the rear brake to keep you up and slow you down at the same time. One of the KEY things is a quick snap up to BP, which means you have to clutch it up and use your rear brake to catch you at BP. If you are "Chasing" the balance point you will have a lot harder time and crash a lot more.... in a nutshell

 

see if those cats can show you the ropes

 

^^^ what they said

 

i only seen em one time and they where ready to leave but it lit the fuse, so am i using the throttle also or should i just raise my idle and use the brake only?

 

just ride off a cliff...

 

It's a fine combination of brake and throttle, but yes, raising your idle will allow you to control your speed more with the brake than the throttle.

 

do like i did, just watch and learn, but take it slow, i have seen about 4 guys in the past 3 months loop out cause they thought it would be easy and felt like after 4 trys that they could 12 a stock bike. just learn the rear brake, maybe even let alittle air press out, this helps by putting a bigger contact patch on the ground and making it not so wobbly. also learn to use your clutch, if you try to power it up, your just going to gain too much speed and it will be hard to correct it when oyu are learning

 

Great Advice from everybody, as far as the air pressure in the REAR tire
keep it between 10-15 psi also do not power just a very quick snap like
he mentionned, with your bike you should have plenty of end torque it's an R1 you got right!! So I don't see the need to gear up your bike (but ask other R1 stunters just to make sure) also find out if you have a tip over sensor, a shorter pipe will help alot (I have this issue with my Ti stock f4i pipe and posted a thread about it and got alot of help but I'm still looking for a skilled shop that can do the job by cutting it right, It seems like everyone is scared to do it tomorrow I'll be going to a 3rd shop!! ) Anyways, playing with the idle it's a good idea, but I think later on it's good to do it by feel, Besides it keeps your throttle control always top notch. Basically you'll have to find out for yourself because even with all the great advice, youll have to be able to applly it into the stunt itself. as a final note I'd like to add that If you accidentlly tap the rear brake too hard when up at 12 the front of the bike will come down hard. If this happens try to slip out the clutch a little before the front tire touches down to take away some of the impact and be ready for the jolt and brace yourself. Stiffen up and grip the bike with your knees, if you are loose you could get tossed over the bars upon front tire impact.

 

Whats up drpootie? Maybe wednesday we can get some saddle time in!!

 

this is wat i do..... come into a coasta in bp. then lean back past bp and tap the brake. ull start slowing down and u gonna be doin alot of gas. brake. clutch. action. also im sure if u tried it on a quad and got it down on there u would be alot better with it ont he bike..the quads just easier to eard on cause u wont tip on sides or anything

no doubt wednesday i will try to get to the spot, bar is goin on Mon anyone know of a good support bracket since the headlight cowl is connected to the side fairings (i wanna lose em).Whats up with those little head lights? stunt special type

 

Those little headlight things you can buy for like 100 bucks I have one now and it will save your front clip from getting ruined coming down hard and also when you come down from a wheelie it is alot softer without the front clip

 

thanks but that still dont tell me where i can get one from or what they are called

 

I'll find the website for ya
