Catching And Pulling Idle

Im wondering how long it took everyone who can to catch and pull idle. Im looking for different factors like how many times a week you rode n how long. what u have ur bike idle at. and just how long.

Re: Catching And Pulling Idle

about 4 or 5 months from the time high idle wheelies came out till I could take the throttle hand off. My bike sucked *** and would barely run at bp.

Re: Catching And Pulling Idle

I think it took me about 5-6 months from when I started focusing away from high speed power whoolies...riding about 3-4 times a week for about 30-45 minutes a ride. Idle at about 3k on a literbike(FZ1). I sure am glad it doesn't take that long to pick new **** up , now! LOL

Re: Catching And Pulling Idle

i rode for like 5 to 6 months in the streets before going to the lot but the first time in the lot my buddy kept pushing me and i got it right away. as long as you can catch balance point id just turn the idle up real high you will get it in no time

Damn. Got some of that natural tallent, 'eh? Good ****. I think if I'd gone to a lot, i would have picked it up a bit quicker, myself. The small space forces improvement, for sure. Wish I woulda known that back then....small spaces seemed scary at the time..

Re: Catching And Pulling Idle

When I actually turend my idle up and tried it, it took 4-5 sessions to get it to where I could ride no throttle for 2+ blocks


But it took me over a year to do it.. Because my first year of stunt riding, I'd hit a lot once every 2-3 months.. And ride for 30 minutes and be done

i want trying to get "knowledge" from anyone. it was a joke, maybe youve heard of them, humor? no? started to make fun of all the squids that try to give advice to ppl and dont even have enough skill to do so. and also to see how many big **** talkers would come out like yourself. you made a ******* idiot out of yourself by not reading the thread and running your ******* mouth to someone who you thought couldnt ride. as to find something better to do with my time.....im not mad at my life at all, i have a great time chatting it up with all the e-badasses on stuntlife. when summer comes ill start riding again, but as for now this is what i got, thanks for stopping by
