Out at the spot, just learned to tuck into HC, FF w/ Clipons and I'm over 6ft tall. :YEAH

I know this trick isnt new but i had a question about it... for those of you tucking, do you lead with your foot or your knee. I tried both and had MUCH better luck leading with my foot. Im not putting both thru at the same time.

So what do you guys, especially whoever is doing it with FF/clipons think?


thanks!

 

on my 636 thats how i kicked my key off.. I found if i turned the bars a bit it gave me a little extra room to fit the leg through.. that and sitting far back.. Im 6'2... and have huge feet so you gota be like gumby.. Cut that key if you havent already.. beleive me it sucks getting ejected off the front when your half on and half over like that..

 

started with special K and worked my way from there, I always go both feet thru at the same time and follow with my feet but I tuck my knees first.

 

ok well how do you get back down.. seems once im up to highchair im screwed.. and specail trick to getting them back down ? Or is it just the same but backwards

 

same thing

 

Me and Ed duct taped the *** out of my key cause i wanted to learn tonight. Tomorrow im going and getting another key made and cutting it.

I got back out once, basically just did everything in reverse...

D, i have no idea how you are going both at once... or KNEE's first... i need to strech more or something?!?!

 

i think his legs are a little shorter, you said your 6 something didn't you?

I do both at the same time on my 50

I still don't see how you guys tank combo on a big bike

 

i could do both at once on my f4 but not a chance on the 636,, the tank is alot more forward and the bars are alot lower so there is just not enough room.. Either that or the bike was just too new and i was just being a puss i dono..

 

Good job guys :YEAH

 

[quote=SCOTT_Chychul]i the tank is alot more forward and the bars are alot lower so there is just not enough room.. quote]Yeah I rode F4i once or twice and on the tank it felt like there was alot more room..I'mgoing to try to move the back lip further back if I can

 

scretching before you ride will help out, pull your knees into your chest as hard as you can, you aint gotta get all Kyle woods and Tony D with it just a little scretching

 

Manny is a streching master..

 

I just learned to go tuck from special k to hc. I can only slide my left leg through now. Def have to get your elbows in first.

I flipped my stock 636 clip-ons over but left them under the triple clamp. It made it a little easier but I rode this setup for a while and didn't like how the clip-ons point upwards now. Its def not my style so I switched them back.

anyone running them 0 degree FI clip-ons ona 636? feed back ?

john I am about 6 ft tall and have a lot of trouble learning this stuff like you.

I don't have an upper right now but I will soon. I leave the windscreen off.

I don't know why everone is cutting down there keys? I got a scotts dampner and it protects it from getting kicked off. I know most of us have dampners.




is anyone doing this on a 636 with a full un chopped upper and windscreen?

It seems almost impossible to me .

 

LOL! yeah im going to try to stretch a little everyday to see if it makes this easier and see if i can get the knees first method to work too so MAYBE one day i can go both feet at same time. Im with Greg though, 6' tall with long legs and size 13 shoes, its tough to pull all that through! LOL

disturbed6R - yeah i beat my tank back another inch or so after i did it once and it was a bit easier. I like the tank back farther a little bit compared to how it was

Greg - I want to cut the key cause i run a side mount damper on the stunner (its a RR) so that there is no chance of kicking it off... that would be a bad day! Also, I run the 0 degree FI clip-ons and they are PIMP! you can turn them out a little and between that and the 0 degree it gives you a lot more room! I have a full upper and my screen is only cut down about 2 inches. I think i could still tuck with a full screen.

Thanks for the input and good responses guys!

come on though, i know there are a lot more of you out there tucking w/ clipons! post up!

 

john: i'm working on doing the same thing.....i have had little to no success though......****, i have a hard time doing it when the bike isn't IN a wheelie, just sitting on the center stands.....but it's definately something i'm going to keep working on....

clip ons and upper-------PIMP

 

Thanks bro!

Actually its EASIER when you are in a wheelie... dont know why... maybe gravity or something helping you?!?!? but you basically have to just go for it, just work on getting your left leg thru first, that seems to be the easiest.

Keep killing it and reppin USA over there in china!

 

knees to chest then pull feet thru i did it on a 929 with full upper and windscreen it just takes somepractice on my f4i i could pull both thru at the same time with full upper and windscreen and the clip-ons wherenot turnedout on either bike

 

that's pimp

yeah i remember a vid from a while ago where you tucked like that on your F4i back here in jersey, it was one of the first times i saw a tuck with FF and i was like, WOW that looks tough, gotta learn that eventually... LOL took me long enough huh!

 

yeah i have that video on my myspace page just keep practicing it and u will have it down in no time buddy

 

nice, what's your myspace addy, i want to watch that vid again, lol
