Well I finally got a stunter..Its an 02 f4i has cage ,12 bar, rear hand brake,+18 in rear.

I decided to start by doing slow wheelies.. Cant seem to get used to the crazy sprocket.

But any advice to start me off..

 

SEAT TIME, clutch it up and cover that rear brake

 

Yea i have to get used to using the rear brake...Now is the brake only there for safety or to control the wheelie?

 

throttle controls it, brake keeps ya from loop'n it

 

Ok so riding the wheelies is throttle and the rear is only if you go over to far.

 

yep...

 

Learn staggard whellies they seem to be easier I learned sitdown first I started stunting 50 first so sitdown came first for me try learning both dont be scared be smooth on throtle and break and at bp try to slightly blip the throttle and tap the break get a 50 to help you train might also help

 

1. get brake control down, and lowering the gearing will make learning easier on your and your bike,.
2. if your foot brake or handbrake is not second nature then that is what you should be praticing right now.
3. once the brake is second nature / just about automatic..... work on your throttle control.
4. then balance, technique, and consistancy

 

 

Yes the rear brake is still very awkward to use..I cant seem to use it..Is there anything i could try or keep doing to get used to using the rear brake?

 

hey would working on a 50 help with all that?

 

yes

 

see can you have the brake on those things to tuff to where itll slam you down or is it because I shut the throttle off and tap the brake?

 

just keep practicing. the repitition will develop muslce memory over time. if you practice lots, you'll cut down the amount of time it takes.

 

One other thing I would like to add here is get someone to take pictures for you while your stunting. Kept hearing this and thought at first they just wanted to see the pictures of me crashing. When you see what feels like your at balance point on camera you will find your not even close.

Another trick that I have to give Armenian (Alvin) credit for teaching me is called *** drag. You know how the roads have the expansion joints in them? Stop your bike right at the start of one with your left foot on the ground in the sit down position and your right foot on the break. Clutch it up hard enough that your 12 o'clock'n your bike before you get to the next expansion joint while leaving your left foot down on the ground to help keep your balance or step off the back and bail if ya have to. This worked really fast for me like within a couple of days I was able to 12 my bike and park it on the 12 bar.

 

i dunno bout anywhere else, but if your lookin to get any kind of fiddy on the east coast, they are hard as **** to find for a reasonable price!

 

No. Slow wheelies are all brake control. You turn your idle up clutch up past balance point then ride the brake. You should not even have to touch the throttle except to get back past bp.

 

Im going to try that today..Ill get videos and post them.

They are hard as **** to come buy with paying a **** load of money.

 

yut ugghhh. My nad. SOmeone had to say it

 

I dont know..I can wheelie better with the r1...The slow speed just seems soo unbalanced..Im running around 19 psi in rear and when I clutch it it wobbles all over.
