been practicing them a lot the last few nights riding ... annoying ill get 2 then nothing for like 5 tries, then get 1, then nothing like 7 tries then ill get 3 then nothing then 1 and on and on, im just bitchin i guess hopefully i get more consistant by the end of the weekend

 

I found that staying off the brake as much as possible makes them much easier that was the first circle I learned and they still seem like the 1 I need the most commitment to do still figure 8's are way fun too

 

lean! thats the only prob I was having with my 636....it would want to keep highsiding me...but practice makes perfect man...keep at it

 

i typically do mine to the left.some advice my boy gave me(and it worked almost instantly)was to basically stick your head almost under you armpit..sounds weird but it worked..i held my elbows as high as i could and pretty much put my head in the direction i wanted to go.counter steer and tug on the right bar..it worked for me and a few i ride with...i suck at explaining things but if you get what i'm saying it just might work...lol..elbows up and the old look and lean...good luck...

 

I've been trying to learn them for awhile and what helps me the most is looking into the circle.

 

You pretty much just described the last 4-5 years of my life. **** SDO'S!!!

 

if your runnin dirt bars, there ALOT easier. When i went to clip ons it took me a few days to relearn em and it was a bitch!

 

I just started to get them consistent this year. I have to creep into them, but once you get them going it's A LOT of upper body movement to keep them going.

I found it easier to learn by bringing the idle down a little lower that I have for stagger O's.

Keep at it, they'll come to you.
