DetroitStyle is a decent person
So like... how do i slow them down?

OK. At your guy's advice, I adjusted how I was standing and started hanging off the back of the bike more during the standups... I can now position my foot over the brake. So, um, how do I start slowing down my wheelies? just get the BP and and start working the back brake?

Oh yeah, what's your rear tire PSI at?

left foot on rear peg, or in trunk, right foot on brake, Bring the wheelie up slower and higher, keep bring higher SLOWLY, and wheelie should slow down when you get past balance point. Not advised to try to slow them down at real high speeds.

hey this is shiffty if your looking to slow them down like on the Eway stay on the front pegs and bring it up like you norm would then but make sure your right foot is over the rear break. Then when you get the bike to the balance point bring it back just a little past it and mash that rear break, and it will slow you down just keep doing this till you slow down to what you want. I bring it up at 65 or so and slow it down to 47 to 55. and ride it out for ever.
