wheelies

i can do staggered stand up. i want to know if i cut a hole in the rear seat does that change the balance of the bike side to side when u put your foot in the hole. I'm 6'3" and want to be more comfortable doing the wheelie.

Re: wheelies

the bike is more unstable(side to side) with you foot back there. requires more balance.

Re: wheelies

i have my footpeg back and a hole in the seat, footpeg back is good for some style wheelies and then the hole in the seat works perfect for others.... like no handers

Re: wheelies

jsut practice staggered a few times, then put yor foot against the tail section inbetween the front and rear seat.... it feel like you have less controll, but its suprisingly easy with your weight back in that position

Re: wheelies

just keep practicing and you'll be able to steer the bike or go in a straight line for however long you feel like no matter what bar, peg, or hole in seat you have
