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!

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.

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.
