I've got standups pretty cherry now... now how the hell do I slow down sitdowns? lol..

how hard was it for you guys? like learning all over again?

or is it just another mental thing to get over again?

 

practice

 

I think its easier to hit the brake sitting down.
I always wobble though.
I don't let the air out of my tires thats probably why.
Lean back like f4stunna is doing

 

I Have More Control Doing Sit Downs, But They Seem To Wear You Out Faster. Its All The Same Stuff, Body Position And Posture Have To Be Correct.

 

I take that back lean back like gangsta ryan smith :YEAH

 

wuzzup congrats on getting the standups down


its a trip to learn em. I had to get on a ninja 250 to learn em because im impaired when it came to sitdowns. The little 250 taught me the concept of sitdowns, so i could apply it to a big bike.
Ive been doing 20+ circles for a year now, standing up, but I just learned a basic sitdown today actually.

 

i learned slow standups in 2 days.
then i started nailing scrapes and parkin it and whatnot,

so this histamineblkr guy decides get jealous and rag on me for not knowing how to do sitdowns...
but his idea of doing a wheelie is sitting on the backseat,
going 2 mph in first gear, pull clutch in, bring it up to 14,000 rpms, then release clutch...

so it took me a long azz time to learn them,
a little over 2 weeks,
i think it would be easier for somebody to transition sitdown to standup then standup to sitdown

 

Body position cover the rear brake clutch ta bp or close and work the gas and brake.You should have it in no time and then it's on

 

i didn't do sitdowns until i got bored one day...i used to close my eyes in standups so not being able to see anything wasn't a problem....for a straight foward 12 or no hander i sit back as far as i can against the rear seat...it takes a lot of weight off your arms and you can get that gansta lean like mr ryan smith..lol

 

i was having big trouble with sit downs on my 750 cuz its alot longer than on my r6, it likes to get wobbley. im still not real good at em but putting db bars helped a ton cuz im a short guy. and i started doing em with foot down to force me into putting my *** all the way back to the seat and that has helped keep em there.

 

i learnt sitdowns with 1 foot on the ground it helped me balance them real easy...

also try sitting down while you are rockin a stand up wheelie. that way u can learn to balance them

 

they're a *****, took me forever to get them where i could ride and move aroudn to keep the bike going where i want it, and i still can't really do a foot up no hander.

im tryin though

 

as good as you ride, lol you dont need the advise you need to be telling us how to do them.

 

this had me rollin' !!!!

 

scooch back on the seat, they're a bia like everyone said though. sitdown scrapes are FUN

 

lol well it took me awhile to get over the height and how far back the bike needed to be for BP in standups... when I'm at BP.. I can't see over the front and I rock full fairings so I can't really see past the bike either.. hahaha.. I notice when i am doing stand ups.. I actually bend my left knee and kinda crouch down... maybe thats why I can't see...

when I tried doing sitdowns.. it was like.. learning how to power wheelie again.. hahaha... you gotta smash that rear brake just like in standups i'm sure.... bike seems SO much bigger and taller sitting down though..

thanks for the advice guys...

 

do you smoke crack or you just try'n to get some a**?

 

Yo, just pop straight up into em real fast... Same priciples... smooth throttle, just have fun. It's fun as hell to just rock em real high and whip back into sitdown coasters an ****.

 

yeah just apply the brake n throtlte it back slowly. you'll lose speed hella fast before u hit the tail.

 

I had to re-learn how to wheelie when learning sit downs. Took me a week or two with 2-3 hr practice.
