Just started learning to do slow standups and I must say it is a bit wierd at first cuz I never did slow staggered wheelies, but this is my progress after 30 minutes.

My . Cover the rear break. Roll at about 3-5 mph clutch it up higher then that and youll bring em real slow. :YEAH

 

Yea I am practicing to cover the rear brake since i m not used to it, and i know I am no where near close to BP, but i am just gettin used to gettin it up. I am goin bout 15mph but i will try slowing down more.

 

Slower wheelies are harder to keep balanced in a straight line in my opinion. Lower the tire pressure in the rear tire to help you balance out easyer. It will help alot when doing slow stunts. "lot" stunts.

 

15mph might be a stretch

 

Yea I hear ya and me and my boys practice in a industrial park so there is no cars to run us over lol

 

Atleast your being smart about the whole deal. Get a rolling start at about 3-5 mph right foot on the drivers peg left foot on the back passenger peg. Clutch it up but be sure to cover the rear break. it will feel like your going to loop over but more then likely it will be you BP. Itll take some getting used to being that high in the air.

 

Yea I am standin staggered and clutchin it up at like 15mph, but from the pix i am goin faster cuz i am still chasing the BP. I can do sitdown wheelies no prob at BP so hopefully this will come natural.

 

Do like I stated above. Slow it down real slow a rolling slow before you clutch it. You wont chase the BP as long.

 

Cool thanks for the advice

 

If your wanting to go slow start slow. If your going 15 MPH before you deside to clutch it up your chasing the BP from the looks and your ending at what 25+ mph. Start slow and clutch it high to keep it slow so your not chasing the BP and gaining speed.

 

try sit downs......when i started out sit downs seemed a little more controllable

 

Yea I like sitdowns but when i clutch them up I am goin 30+mph so I am tryin to slow them down, I just figured standing up would help me see where i am goin.

 

If your having problems slowing down and clutching it up and your ending up at like 30 when you started at 5 your not clutching it up hard enough. You have to expariment with it. The higher the RPMS when you clutch it the high youll be and faster youll get there. hence the slower speed. Maybe try higher RPMS and keep steping it up till you get to the BP and able to slow them down. Get some vid. We can help you out more that way!!!!


:YEAH

 

 

Hey man good luck with the learning process. If you watch your fork tubes as your bringing it up when there almost completely horizontal you should be just about at bp. Every bike is different but that seemed to work for me.

 

When trying to do slow wheelies I learned, drop the rear pressure to bout 10psi (just when learning), set idle up to about 3500rpm, stand staggered and try to drop the clutch from a dead stop, meaning roll up to a stop then dump the clutch before you get off balance, once you get over the fear of dropping your bike a few times it will come natural to instantly slam the back brake when you come back too far, When I first started learning all I wanted to do was scrape my new round bar, after countless failed trys I relized that I was rocking slow wheelies, Thats how much further bp is then you think, then from there its like riding a bike, youll never forget. you just need to work on getting smoother, and raise that rear tire back up to at least 25psi.

 

Staggered was better for me..every1 is different
