unless your on uneven pavement or something, it's because, without realizing it, your puttin more weight on one side; the bike only goes were you tell it. make sure your on flat road, and drop you rear tire pressure down to 25 that will help a lot. as i said before, if you use the rear brake when you get too high, you won't have to worry about flippin it. AGAIN, JUST TAKE IT SLOW.

keep practicing, stay safe, and get ready for your bike to get fucked up

Arm pump is a bitch... my bodys way of telling me to ease up the grip!! When I first started I would rub through gloves in like 2 months!!! I had the Kung Fu death grip The wife was pissed! But when I started I powered it up and went through rear tires like nobodys buisness and almost looped lots cause the rear tire is more likley to slip even though it is coming up and then catch and you fly back..trust me..been there!

Re: did my first wheelies

well i went ridin with the crew that im with.. and we went wheelin all around. Im good witht he gas now and i dont think i will flip it. i just now need to still keep tryin to use that clutch.. this is the problem. when i have my 2 fingers on the clutch. im goin about 30 in 2nd gear. i clutch it and when i let it out it makes me feel like my hand is going to come off the handlebar. can i bring my clutch screw in so i have a lil more slack to play with? or do you reccomend me getting a different clutch lever that i can adjust?

two suggestions- the first, yes adjust your clutch in a little. the second, don't be lookin for somebody to hold your hand man. you've got a lot of good advice, now just go out and practice.

ps. use the search more. you'll find answers to all of your questions somewhere on this site by just using the search button

your getting some good advice here just keep at it....you could do is even lowier your tire pressure a little more for now.....the only thing is if you ride the road a lot it could be rough....my girl takes a backseat all the time when its not snowing out....they get use to it....or you break up
