i started learning circles tonight, staggered to the left. i'm slowing down to almost stall speed then using pressure on my left foot to turn it in then get off the brake completely to carry it around.

so far i've got 1/4 to 1/2, but as soon as that happens i straighten out.. i have heard people say circles are 4 1/4 turns, so should i try to keep using my leg to pull it back into the circle after i get to the point of it wanting to straighten out or is there a better technique / anything i'm missing..

 

IM me........

 

come out this weekend, im all FIB

 

we were at havana tonight for 4 hours, i'll be out all weekend pending gas


marc gave me some good advice so hopefully i'll get at least one tomorrow, and i might give seat stander a try, even though i'm kinda sketch in a straight line doing them in idle still.

 

this **** is so hard... i'm struggling too on a 900.. cant get more than 1/4 then tge front end is down. i keep highsiding, should i lean more and gas it up? idle higher?

 

this one time i was just practicing turning the bike.
so i was just trying to turn this one corner at my spot.
lol, i just wanted to break even but i accidentally did 1/2 a circle and was like aghhhh!!!!!
how in the hell did i just do that ?
so uhhh yeah i was pretty stoked.

 

GAS 'ER!

 

You gotta sack up and dip it. Hanging off the left side and pulling it around is only gonna get you half a turn and stall you out.

Go real slow, like 4 mph, get it perfectly balanced on the idle, then throw the bike to your left.

 

exactly. You gotta lean to your right/ throw the handle bars to the left to make the bike fall into the circle.

 

you need to give it alot more gas than you think

 

hahaha well in all honesty mr TNECK here helped me out with mine he has them down i would recommend going to otown circle school hahahah

 

You gotta learn to throw the bike into the circle and muscle it around, you can't lean in and hold on for the ride, or you'll hit like 2-3 circles top, with no consistency.

 

im learning em to right now on stock gearing carb'd r6 and if i go into em really confident and comfortable i notice i only get 3/4s of one then stall. when i chop throttle on accident dipping into it and lean the bizzle into it hard (feels like 45 degree lean) i will get 1 1/2 to a close highside (not able to slip clutch yet) i can't to any more then 1 1/2 cause i hold my breath the entire time n forget to breath then im like oh yeah gotta breath n lose my consitration..

 

watch joe joe, he can do circles till he runs out of gas

 

more tire pressure

 

dont come into it with such low speed.. you gota have some raming speed. Not like mach speed at first, but if your almost ready to stall then your going hella slow.. Your should beable to dip it in and get at least 1/2 to a full circle without touching any gas or brake.. Dip it in and lean backwards and toward outside the circle and that will throw the bike around nicely,, When its going to highside lean in and toward the inside and that will slow the circle down. Body position is half the battle i think..

 

watch the clutch.. the second u feel the bike wanting to come out and highside.. grab her... and put ALL your weight on the left peg.. the entire time

 

makes me think of caddyshack..... i think haha

 

im not familliar with this caddyshack you speek of.. do explain in further detail.

 

i'm not going that slow when it wants to stall out, its still between 5-10mph.

i'm putting pressure on my left leg towards the right and pulling the right clip on towards the left to muscle it into a circle.
