No handers..need some help

I need some advice on some no handers, I can get the front end to the balance point and then when I go to take my gas hand off it comes down, It can sway on it for a second and then come back or down. How in the hell do you hold it there? Might be because I do it in grass.. dunno...

Pavement is usually easier, you want to have your idle turned up, have a leg on your grab bar and another on your rear brake, and toss it on its back and drag your rear brake.
Try this to start and if you get good at that then try it W/O your idle turned up, then go super and do it in your normal riding position!

try no throttle first to get a feel for balancin the bike, the no handers are a little harder because of havin to balance while balancin the 4wheeler

my favorite is sittin and holdin the frame

some people do it like that, i do coasting no handers. got like 35+ feet locked. Pimp up 2nd, one foot on my scrape bar - other on the brake. Balance that bitch out & go for a ride.

My idle screw is broken, so i can't turn mine up. When you do em that way, if you got good balance you can do blocks w/ no hands. I gotta fix mine.........

NO HANDERS

Do what 1000ceecee sais.If that doesnt work try this.Throw it up in first and find your sweet spot,you know that spot where you feel like you don't even have ro try to balance,now bring it back just a touch further.as you start to go over backwards,ride your rear brake and bring it back a little.Now take both hands off the bars and try to stay just a hair behind your balance point.

This might be helpfull.It might be bullshit to you,anyway,I tried.

I can go for hundreds of feet like that....... Just slowly going by n handed style

I've only been on like 3 4wheelers in my life, so y'all that are used to them should have no problems

R6, its problably because its set too tight, look at your rear swingarm and at the end of it where your parking brake is located there should be an adjuster for the rear brake.

when you turn the idle up will that help it not stall when you hit the brake? I tried about 5 times about 10 minutes ago and mine just stalled when going that slow in 1st...
