Re: How are thease for my first wheelies
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....

Re: How are thease for my first wheelies
Yeah pretty much. Practice trying to bring it up higher learning your throttle and brake control, also cover your clutch just encase. That's about all I got, because that's about as far as I am. Trying to really get idle on lock, I'm starting to catch idle decent but then I just chase BP.
Like this. Not me and I have no clue who this is but should give ya the point.

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

+1 50 is a great tool to learn brake control, quads too

slap a bar on it and brace the subframe and be done with it,DONT get in the habit of powering it up,its bad news,clutch it up or dont even bother with whoolies

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!!
