Can't get the grasp of turning, weighting the left peg, and keeping my F***** balance and havin enough juice to keep on going. Someone help before i hurt myself!

 

no idle hand o's ? Im confused

 

Do you mean no throttle hand?

 

he means no handed low idle circles i think

 

well that seems pretty stupid.. lets crank the idle down and then wonder why we cant spin no handed circles ?? Huh...

 

****in squids

 

ALRIGHT.. all of you are morons and can't read. He means.... NO HANDED (break for morons) IDLE ONLY (break for morons) CIRCLES.

 

i've heard Mr.ryan smith tell poeple to turn thier idle WAY down, to like 1800..............

 

Thank you farley. anyway an "o" is short for a circle (notice the shape of the letter) sorry for not being more specific. Back to the point i can't seem to keep myself on the bike when i'm tryin to turn no handed. My idle is already up to do the circle in the first place. its at about 5500 to 6000 but i dont have gauges so i can't be sure. in a regular circle i use my arms to help stay on the bike, obviously.

 

thats waaaaay too much idle rpm. Around here we use around 2500-3000 for everything

 

yah, in california or at sea level that probably is too much idle but in colorado we gotta turn it up a bit to get the same power. Still hoping for advice on how to keep myself in position or if theres a different trick i haven't heard yet.

 

Wreck the mothaf%#cka till you get it right!!! Besides... who would sell you such a pos bike?!?!?

 

You know what i didnt even think about that. And I cant give you much advice, i can only turn in and go about halfway around on a foot-on-seat circle no handed

Edit: I looked at your first post and it said something about weighting the left peg? Your not trying these staggered are you? If you are, dont. Your gonna have to be foot in bar or foot on the seat to take the weight off your hands

 

5500-6000 is a lot at sea level..here you'd be fighting it with the brake too much..but i know when i was in denver getting idle to catch was differnt..just play around with differnt idle settings..

 

Trust me... everything in higher elevations is a *****. Driving cars, running, the sun being a mile closer.... its hard to get it right the first time at this elevation on bikes!!! But to catch it solid on just idle, I had mine at 3500 on my old 929 to get it right!

 

the first time i visted colorado the air made me fell like **** thats before i even got on the bike and realized it was being a slugish pos

 

use your legs to hug the tank, get your body to the outer side of the bike (opposite of circle direction), countersteer, and lean on the upper with your chest...

 

Ya i was trying them with a staggered stance on the bike just to get the hang of no idle hand but i'll start practicing them with a foot on the seat like i do no handers. Thanks for the advice let me know if you figure out a trick.

 

Right on man. I tried it and got about 180 degrees before i had to go for the clutch to save the bike, but i like the idea to hug the tank with your legs. I don't have an upper to push against but you can lean over farther without it so staying on the bike is still pretty easy. Thanks! let me know if you think of any other ideas.

 

Gearing can screw with things...your speeds got to be just right.

I've been on bikes with pizza pan sprockets where you need to be in 2nd gear
