Out working on learning tank sreaders, 1st gear clucthing up from 3-5 mph. Doing some danglers trying to get it higher, going good. Start getting it up then spreading the legs maybe around 10 oclock so winding it out. Feeling good, pop it up spread em riding it out up to maybe around 30 mph, set it down to fast(chopped throttle) next I start rolling up and over the bars off the right side, bounce off my left hip, put my helmet into the ground, slammed my foot or ran it over don't really know. Some tourist behind me is stopped, looks at me and drives away, didn't even wave. Think I learned how much braking power the engine has, especially when geared, and painful lesson on throttle control. Any tips or is this just part of learning, I rather crash going 10mph. Sorry no vid of this one.

 

that was stupid..

probably should have learned by what i told you before.. of learning in order.. here's lesson 1.

 

I practice idle and can ride it now pretty good, next from your list is NTH I think FIS will make that possible cause staggered I seem to be pulling on the bars even to belly up against the tank. Where on the list does spreaders go?

 

Probably after eating **** once or twice. Glad youre OK.

 

well it sounds like you are okay, so thats something to be thankful for... any damage to the bike?

 

once you learn bp and throttle control.. which is before idle.

 

Everything seems fine rode it home, gonna be sore for sure, the bike seems like a tank, me and it ended up laying in the bikepath, think I landed on some of the grass in between. Won't crash if you don't try anything new. Hell I was thinking of special k's this morning, glad it remained only a thought.

 

do you give the bike throttle when you are coming down?

*HELPS

 

That right there is your problem. You can't chase balance point during tank tricks. You're lucky that you're alright. Use the low to mid end of the power band.

Also, anyone learning spreaders needs to learn the emergency tuck back to SS.. when done it will take less than half a second to swing back and pull the bike back, give some gangster lean and get that wheelie back under control.

 

Usually let it down softly with throttle, but that usually at slower speeds and stag. which i'm use to. Just squided out, closing the throttle to much at a high rpm. Always learning.

 

That right there is some good info that I needed to know, otherwise I'd be back at it riding out 1st again really consious of the throttle trying to avoid another crash. Thanks

 

hand brake !!!u need brake control if u would of had a hand brake and came down with throttle and not slamming it to the ground u would of never crashed and try not to be scared of letting the bike come back further some time it feels like ur gonna crash but in reality ur not even that far back so ur not runnin out of motor

 

Glad it was nothin serious, bro. It wasn't "stupid", as Mike said......it was a lesson to learn from. Never want to "chop" throttle from a tank wheelie, as you found out. Glad nothing's broken.........get back out there, bro.

 

ya if u think ur gonna hit rev-limiter, don't close the throttle. depending on how high u are on the wheelie, u can still bring it down sorta smooth at rev-limiter.

but ya, like crtch said, learn bp, brake, and throttle control first. then u can learn SS, highchairs, spreaders..etc..etc

once u have get bp on regular staggered wheelies, everything else (aside sitdowns) are pretty self explanatory.

sucks about ur wreck, it's good that u at least learn'ed sumtin from it. (don't try spreaders again until have bp down)
