Hey,

I ride a 99' ZX6R, i'm not that great at wheelies yet. I can get it to BP but I don't have the nuts to keep it there (Bike is daily driver, no cage or HB) from time to time the bike will swerve while the front is up.

Question: Should I air down the rear tire? if so what psi?

This guy that rides at the spot I do said its better to learn with a full tire, to learn side to side balance. Any suggestions?

The tire guide is the 3rd one down

 

ferk dat run 38lbs thats tha bussiness!!!!!you'll get O's faster!!!!

 

Everyone has to start somewhere. And if he's trying to go slow then 38lbs is too much to start on. Start at 12 and as you get better start to raise it. After you start learning more you can start raising it. You are nowhere near ready for circles, let alone fast circles, so don't try the high pressure.

 

In my opinion you shouldnt start with any lower than maybe 18, it´s better getting used to the wobble from the beginning

 

12psi is basically a flat tire not to mention its killing your insides of the tire. Id try somewhere around 20psi

 

daily driver.... run it 38-42 PSI I always ran my R1 at full pressure, helps for lane changing!

low tire pressure for traffic wheelies makes for wobbly wobbly!

 

+1.....15 at the lowest.

 

18-20 to start.

 

I agree with most but low pressure makes it a little easier and builds confidence which is huge in making wheelies.

 

its a joke 10lbs for begginers

 

oh **** is that the thing that goes on the rear rim but seriously i run 22 psi and it seams to be nice all around

 

Thats cause you have to go behind BP before you can feel it.

 

 

I guess I'll try 19 psi and see how that goes...

Will it feel much diferent?
Hard to turn?

 

U wanna do highway speed wheelies or slow stuff? If slow then low, if fast then leave it stock.
When going slow it is better to start low that way you can focus on keeping it up rather than keeping it straight. Once you got that down then you can start to raise the pressure. You can start out w/ high pressure but it's gonna take longer to learn. Start out low and if that's easy for ya then bump it up. If anyone is telling you to use high pressure in a parking lot then they are either trying to hold you back or they have forgotten how hard it is to keep it straight and balanced at the same time when you first start going slow.
Not everyone is a natural at this. If they were everyone would be a pro.
