YES

 

i just started doing circles, 2000 idle, when i lean it in and try to keep ti too high it stalls, if i dip it a little lower it seems like it would lowside but swings around real nice with a good amount of throttle

 

throttle is the key.

Gas er!

 

+1...and lower idle. I also had my brake pedal too high. lowering it helped alittle.

 

I've only gotten three complete one's so far. When I do I'm just creeping around on the idle @ 2,000. I'll go out tonight and work on the gas to whip it around.

 

For me getting my hand off the throttle and then only worring about the rear brake, idle and body postion helped alot.....But now I can circle better no throttle hand than regular

 

I'm alot smoother with idle, so thats why i try it with idle. is it better just throttle then and low idle??

 

High idle smoothes out my attempts. Gave up on staggered O's and tried sit downs - getting a 1/4 + to the left. Went back to the standups a bit later and it felt easier to drop the bike in (moving at about 8-9mph now and going to right).
then ran a out of gas! Mouse-trapped over the left bar.

Moving weight to opposite side and then back to centre helped a lot. Bike leans, and I dont keep putting all the pressure on the outside peg anymore. First 1/4 is cool then it goes a bit oval!

 

cant get my head around sit down O's. but seat standers are so much better, can put the bike where i wont. gona try with them and staggered for now:YEAH

 

I swear why the fuuuck is it so hard to do a damn circle I've completely exhausted myself tonight over and over and over again inconsistent as **** this is the hardest concept to grasp for me. maybe i need to take a nice long break from circles--is anybody else out there having a biitch of a time doing these??

 

no stop being a p ussy and give it gas, and turn that damn idle down, and smoother on the brake, i moved my brake down too a lot so i'm not accidentally scrubbing it..


i think the problem with most people crashing circles is they dont know when to stop, if i start to highside i'll stall it and try again. if feel like i'm getting so low i might wash out i pull the clutch in and set it down.

i feel like working on keeping a good lean angle / throttle and brake control is more beneficial to me than worrying about how many circles i can get in a row before i crash, knock on wood i haven't tossed a circle yet, and i've only had to bail to the side of my bike once..

every day i get closer and closer to being able to turn in and do as many circles as i want consistently anywhere anytime which is my goal then i'll move on to seat stander and other combination circles

 

Im not crashing circles just taking my time so my bike does'nt explode in the learning process. i'll get them soon fuuk it

 

come on down to florida for a circle camp. we are 3 and 0 at are boot camp so far :YEAH

it took me 1 week to learn them

 

1 week is hella fast !! I just started practicing them, and I do them seat stander... For me it's the most comfortable position, so that's why I feel like it's teh best way to practice them...

I Got 2,5 circels after maybe 3 hours of practice... Just don't be afraid of the gas... But hey, I'm still learning

 

where do i sign up seriously!!!! my friend works at a travel aggencie ill get a sic deal on the flight let me know how much u charge$$$ and im there!!! :YEAH
