need some help on my seat stand wheelies. ive been working on these for awhile now and feel like im almost at balance point, just wondering if anyone had any advice as far as like body position and stuff. any help would be great

 

practice...

 

dump the clutch and hold on..

 

ur real far from balance point. ur forks gotta be almost parallel to the pavement

 

i feel like im not using hardly any throttle tho

 

thanks johnny obvious

 

just pretend ur still on the 518 ride.im sure you'll remember how ..lol jackass

 

You running a handbrake? Computer wont show your pics.
Seen a few buddies go down doing seat standers because of no braking ability. No one seriously hurt just a pain in the *** putting it back together over something that could have probably been prevented.

 

yah i have a front brake whats that got to do with wheelies tho? is it easier to keep em up if u stop the front tire from rotating

 

they are looking good so far, try doing them on an empty back road with no traffic. if you have a longer road you can slowly let the bike get taller, when you get close to balance you will feel the bike float. I see your knees are bent in the one pic, I like my arms and knees locked out more but as you progress with them you will bend your knees a bit and move your body off to the sides to keep balance and help you steer the bike.

 

thanks man! do you think it would be easier if i put on dirtbike bars?

 

lol wow......Neil I think you need more arm strength, but who am i to tell

 

well im cring at this thread hahaha im cant stop laughing

 

for some reason I feel you are being a smart ***...... I like dirt bike bars on dirt bikes and quads, I cant get used to them on a sport bike personally. not for me..... but i do feel more control with wider bars.

 

idk man, i been killing some pushups i think i just need a bigger sprocket

 

I think what he meant by handbrake is are you running a second rear break lever on the clutch side. Seat standers you cant step on the rear break in case of emergency. Its not needed, but like Big Boze said could save you from damaging that bike.

 

bro just cuz you got em on lock dont ******* laugh at me, everyone had to start somewhere right

 

hand brake kid.. it goes to the rear brake.. front has nothing to do with it. .. can you ride idle using the rear foot brake? if not you need more time. and alot more practice..

 

my buddy told me that if you get too high you can just pull the clutch in and the bike will come back down. do u think the clutch side brake would be better? idk if i could get used to having a brake on the left side thatd be weird.

 

Everyone is right, it's impossible to do seat stand wheelies without a handbrake
