useing the throttle on circles

i think i am ready to try doing circles, and i was wanting to know how you guys use the throttle when you are doing them. when the bike starts to dip into the lean, is that when you give it a little? or do you just idle through most of it

Re: useing the throttle on circles

I'm in the process of learning myself can only get 1 shitty one at a time for the most part but it's a start. Found these links useful.circles 101.

The CLASSIC circles thread by gorka

The real good thread from last month
https://www.stuntlife.com/forums/showthread.php?t=90663 (Circle Wheelies)

Sit downs

I found the think of it as a berm concept makes sense, but it's the feeling like BP for the first time.

Re: useing the throttle on circles

Just go in hot dip way back. scrape it if you have to, and then throw the bike over . Im usualy on the brake for the first 1/2 to 3/4 of the circle. then use your body gas and brake to keep it going. Lean into the bike also. I found if I hung back it would start spinning so fast it was like I was getting ripped of the back of the bike. And doin circles you can give it alot more gas than a strait line idle wheelie. Its just practice. play with your idle settings to. when I started out the lower the better but now im back up to about 2,400 rpms. on stock gearing. Good luck. Its not to hard.

Damn. thats harsh. Im sure people would have said the same **** if I posted that I was ready for circles. I guess it is kinda dumb to ask how to do it. But then again all the reading I did im sure it helped. Like pulling the clutch in before I highsided. Im sure I would have dumped it bad if I didnt know that simple little fact.
