I can do circles until I run out of gas on the fifty... doesn't feel the same.

 

that would be 2 ...lol

 

+2your riding today, i gotta put my armor on and try those 2nd gear fast circles we were talking about.

 

I can't go up there this weekend... but maybe on some upcoming weekend soon.

 

I dont know if this is good advice but it worked for me thats for sure.

Try running a really low idle. Im geared +23 on a 636 (lol yeah i know but its awesome) Running the idle really low forces you to learn throttle control in a circle. You actually get forced to hit the gas and get used to it because you always need it. I agree with omr about failing to the bar as well, in fact I think I got that advice from him. Landing on the bar teaches you to keep your wheel high as well as clutch and hb control. I learned ss and that helped i think too because I could "skate" it around taking one foot off and hopping untill I could keep both up.....PRACTICE ALOT....

 

riding with better riders makes a HUGE difference...
i worked really hard to learn them six months (no stunters here) rode with some guys in houston like three times and i can kill'em now! i just had to watch them and their bikes in person...

watching teach to 'em in a video is nonsense! he's too smooth for a (by watching in a vid) beginner circler to watch...get out in the lot and learn from somone closer to your level...

dont be scared to gas it!!!, and too much idle is for homos! i used to turn right FinSeathole, but i learned going left, much more natural for me...try getting a smooth SS, then put my right foot in the hole that way your staggered with emphasis toward the direction of your O. it will want to lean in, DONT fight it, just be smooth, and lean in. also, be smooth as possible, and give it gas as needed, gotta blip tha throttle to keep 'em goin body positioning has SO much to do with what happenes after you gettem leaning in....

 

i run alot of idle and i dont care what people think

<<<<<no homo

 

Pretty sure roger your a homo. lol Anyone agree with the really low idle for learning though? i ran it at like 2500 or less and basically lumber jacked it. not only did it show me what the gas does and when to use it but it got me used to handling a jumpy bike.. Now I can run my idle fast as **** and turn really tight fast circles or lower and be really smooth

 

no im not and i actually think a higher idle helps while learning so you can learn how to use the brake better and not have to concentrate too much on throttle control , throttle control will come naturally i think

 

**** circles - who needs em

 

you knew what i meant tho!!!

dont you have a "look at me i kill on stock gears vid?"
i was simply stating dont rely on idle and gears to hit the EZ circle button for you...
give it some gas and NAIL IT!

by the way u're vid is truly

 

he's right.... as usual

concentrate on body positioning, and brake control for sure....then... GAS IT!

 

yeah this helped me alot, forces you to use the gas the whole time, I could do like 10 leaned in, on the gas circles before I could do 1 idle circle.

 

when you got the feeling that front wheel will fell then just gas it,but dont w8 untill it fall too much,you have to do it earlyer,also if bike want to lowside give the gas,it will save it from lowside,you can try to put your leg on other place on the seat it can help you with lowsides too,but be carefull with that untill you got it on lock cuz it can make a highside,also in the left fib/fis circles when bike want to low side you can pull it back with your arms it sounds simple but it works.

 

+1idle made my circles infiniatley easier........prevents high siding for sure.....but it alsokeeps you from speeding up, im not sure if anyone else had this problem but when i was using throttle in circles i started to speed up in the circle resulting in some highsides....brake control and idle are the keys i think.....once you can lock idle and learn godd brake control it makes dipping it in a lot easier and its kinda like just leaning ur body in and just controling the brake like a straight line......now this was just for me maybe im wierd...

 

do a lot of people start to the right and then realize it was easier to the left for them once they got better?
i started on the right but couldnt get past 1/2 turn....then i tried a left and was like WOW much easier.

 

left = fun,can do em in the both sides but left is way to go
