circle wheelies

I have gotten all the way around a couple of times, but I always high side out of the circle, how can i learn to get this easier than just doing it wrong a thousand times.

Re: circle wheelies

If your avatar is a representation of your best wheelies, then you have never spun a circle 1/4 the way around..

It is a HUGE difference...


not a big difference, is like a 150-450 dirt bike vs a sport bike..



a HUGE difference is a 50 to a sport bike..


Let me put it this way, I was rocking under 15mph wheelies for MILES, for over 6 months before I even attempted a circle..

Re: circle wheelies

ya i can do circles on my 50 like every way possible but on my f4i, i can only do really big ones half way, and one tight one half way then i dumped it. But it is a lot easier on a little 50

The 50 is a HUGE difference i can turn circles all day on a 50 i can barley and i mean BARLEY dip in on the big bike.

Try taking your foot off ... Say your turning left take your left foot off it helps balance the bike and helps to dip in a ton.

Re: circle wheelies

thank you for not telling him to **** himself up...first you must be able to catch idle and be able to steer it in a straight line at slow speeds...then its all about weight distribution from side to side as well as throttle/brake control. lots of gas will make it high side out..too much brake will slow it enough to fall inward or stall out...keep practicing

Re: circle wheelies

a smooth combination of lean angle, speed, body positioning, and being at the right balance point at the right time, sometimes at it, in front of it, or slightly behind it. if you have too much speed and not enough lean angle you highside or too much lean angle and not enough speed you lowside, and the bp thing comes into play with that as well, sometimes you need to dip the bike and other times you need to undip it. lean your hip in, push the bars, turn the bars, lean your hip out, **** do whatever works best FOR YOU.
