Im trying to ride it to learn brake control and all that, I notice when I yank it up, half the time I start riding crooked? Lkike sideways and it just ****s me up right away, is this something Im doing? OR something you just have to get a feel for and learn to correct?

By the way, for those who dont know, its basically a 50' just a little bigger, and suzuki;s version.

 

sometimes that happens, it will happen less and less with more practice. but dont try and save them and go past the balance point when you come up crooked, thats how you loop

 

Let me guess, it comes up crooked to the right?

 

once you get more practice on it, that will happen less, and you'll learn how to correct for it.

 

sounds like you are pullng too much with your body...let the bike do the work...

 

Nope, left. Why did you suggest the right?

 

more clutch less tugg

 

No clutch, I forgot the name, but its one of those special transmissions, like half automatic, half manual. If it had a clutch I dont think my arms would hurt from trying to pull it up, haha.

But yeah, Im done with that for today, Ima go practice some stand ups on the f4izzle.

 

you can still clutch them up..

 

get street tires for it that'll help

i have the same bike i love it

 

gear drop em lol, f-that pull it up but lean back, sounds like ur pulling the bars into your chest and kinda lift ur weight off the pegs.

 

put a rear peg on it

 

Most people pull harder with their left hand because the throttle is on the right. Try shifting from 1st to second while giving it a little bit of gas. Or just use the false neutral.

 

It will come with practice. The little bikes are so light that any shift in weight has a big affect. Try to throttle it up as much as you can without having to pull too hard on the bars. Get going a bit in second gear, let off the throttle completely then twist it back on hard while leaning back and pulling up a bit on the bars. Also let some air out of the back tire, that will help side to side balance also. Street tires help a lot too, but you don't need them. Keep in mind that the faster you go the easier it is to keep straight. So second gear wheelies will be much easier than first gear when you're learning side to side balance. Just keep practicing and before you know it it will click and you won't even have to think about it.

 

Yeah, Im just trying to get that rear brake down with it, so I can have it for the f4i.

 

yea my little cb250 needs a heap of pulling to get up and they always go to the left its sucks...but yea you learn not to do it.

 

Buup at it i love mine WAY more fun than a fiddy the seat height is only 4in higher buy better power and faster i like and yes second gear is easier for side to side balance
