Getting off the bar high chair?
I was messing around yesterday and had my idle set at about 3000, I did a 1st gear highchair got it real slow and got it on the bar. I didnt mean to really and when it touched down I was stuck up there, I tried the HB as much as possible and it just wouldnt come off the bar. So after a few feet or scraping it got squirly and I crashed...I think I had too much idle and couldnt overpower it with the HB.....
My question is now that I know where the bar is and what it feels like to be on it in a high chair whats the proper method to scraping and getting it off the bar? How fast should I be going? I should have little to no idle up right?
Thanks for any help luckily I was hurt at all and my bike took little damage, but I dont want loop one of those again.......

Im using the HB to keep it high and slow so I have to get my finger back on the clutch before it hits the bar then pull it in scrape and let it out?

Re: Getting off the bar high chair?
u want as much engine brake as possible....scraping slow is way harder than scraping fast...turn ur idle down to stock...ride a nice bp hc, and throttle it back to the bar, when u hit let off the throttle hit hb, and bam u scraped a hc, not hard........no idle !!!!!!
