yeah i understand brake control but i use EBC PADS and they wear down so quick? i dont no if its me or my bike but the power just seems to disapear? i think my main thing to learn is clutch because im not using that yet the wheelies was literaly throttle response wheelies!

Re: How are thease for my first wheelies

only use the brake to correct and keep from looping...if you ride the brake, yes it will wear them fast, and overheat your brake then you will have no brakes....

Like this. Not me and I have no clue who this is but should give ya the point.

Re: How are thease for my first wheelies

Get a Fifty. Best way to learn brake control. Transfers right over. my 2 cents. Helps learn the feel of balance point too. Keep it up!! I'm still a rookie. Barely learnin Seat stander idle and hand brake control. But so far seat standers are very forgiving lol

I still have the same tail I had when I first learned to scrape, I hit it well over 100 times before I got a bar

I've never really 'looped' though, just had to bail a few times

Re: How are thease for my first wheelies

Yea a 50 is where its at man I never had on personally but some friends had one and its a huge help. Here's a pic of my first attempt of a wheelie. I don' think you could have slid a case of beer under the front tire but I was sure proud. You'll progress, just give it time and don't get too excited and push yourself too hard. Just take it easy go with your instinct and listen to these guys, they are all giving you good advice. Good luck, you'll be killin it in no time!!
