if u make a "12" bar, but it sticks out about 10 inches, wouldn't that make it an "11:30 bar?" :D

 

i just went for it and fell... thats how you learn... i fell over and over and over again.... i still do fall when i hit the bar but i land it sometimes too... **** it tho... its all for fun....

 

I got a ? I clutch my bike up fine in 1st gear but when i go to use my back brake my bike starts wobbling side to side bad so i always just jump off. What causes the wobbling

 

jerky throttle control. gotta be smooth

 

juts tried my first 12, and 1st tail section gone. got to get that brake control!! ? how would a 60 tooth sprocket be on my 02 f4i for slow stuff and high ways

 

im thinking of taking the bar off my bike and puting on a round bar....
im just scared of looping a stoppie!!! i was in holland when rus looped a stoppie and fu*ed his kidney...( he then got up and done a backflip infront of the crowd and colapsed in the corner)

 

I JUST learned how to scrape tail. Take my advise. First. your first instict will be to jump off when it scrapes. SO make sure you're caged with 905 or another good brand. I dropped it at running speed the first time i hit the tail, then afterwards, i stayed on, and i get it spot on everytime. I AM on a 900rr which is known for being incredible stable on its tail without a bar. Bar or not, it requires a smooth aproach and finness, so dont force it if you're not ready. So make sure you're upright strait when you scrape it.

 

An easy way to try 12s is if u already know ur balance point, Put a bar on and then get a buddy to help u put the bike on the 12 bar that way u can get on ur bike and feel what 12 oclock is really like. That is the way my buddies do it.

 

Did you guys turn your idles up to learn 12's? Or just learn without it and use that when you get better?

 

get a bar a bigger sprocket (70 th,or so)and a cage , turn up your idle to at least 3 and clutch it up sit downfrom a stop give itgas till you hit the point alittle more gas may be needed to get to the bar , once it hits if you feel uncomfortable just put your feet on the ground and pull in the clutch.

 

just started tryin to learn 12s ... i have an 05 r1 and was wondering if anyone new what size sprocket i should throw on it ??

 

Well.. jsut learn on a quad... lol.. they come with scrape bars.. hahaha...

 

i did the same thing on a yz250..trashed plastics and bars. is there a way to stunt out a dirt bike with a cage and 12 bar?

 

anyone know where i can get a 12 bar for an 05 r1 .... everywhere ive tried says they dont want to make it cause the sub is to weak ... why they cant make some supports with it is beyond me ... any input will help if you guys know somebody

 

All these people are just learning to 12?? Who is that in all ur avatars busting no handed circle tank spreaders LAME

 

im in the same situation gettin close to 12 but feel like ill be more confident with a bar to find the bp. thats how i learned it wit the quad. after taping the bar a couple of times, it was all love!:YEAH

 

Can someone help me out with this one?

From the moment the bike passes 10 'o clock , I have that scary feeling that I'm riding in a sort of vacuum,because I start to hit the balancepoint,I think?(a lot less friction with the road?) From that moment I chop the throttle.

I raised the iddle to minimalize the chopping efect,bought myself a fiddy,nothing helps.Everytime I chop the trottle.And with the fiddy I just smack it on the scrapebar,completely uncontrolled.

Especially the continious chopping bothers me

Any more tips or just practise,practise,practise and a bigger pair of...

 

get smooth on the throttle.

 

here's the cure.. don't chop the throttle.... that's it.. do a wheelie, dip it back into engine brake.. let off a tiny bit.. or stay on it. and apply some brake... and don't plug a hoover into your bike

 

it's all in the head !
