i have a 05 r6 and ive been trying slow 12's i get them back and can hold them but the bike wobbles like a ***** , i tried all different kinds of air pressure, it seems to only do it if i am staggard with left foot on the back peg, if i do it regular stance i have no problem i dont know if its the r6 or me, im bought ready to sell the damn thing its so frustrating

 

wobbles come from variety of things, I suffer from them and im finally starting to overcome them.

most important, THROTTLE control! Keep a steady throttle, that's why the brake is there! I used to go near bp get on the brake and give some throttle to put me past bp. Guess what? i ended up hitting the bar lopsided. so keep it smooth.


second, Subtle smooth body movements. If you over-compensate, the wobbles can/will be worse

confidence. be willing to fight them, if you keep putting the wheelies down when it wobbles, you will never get passed them. I crashed last year doing a 20 mph wheelie nd wobbles. then i started puttting my wheelies down when tey got wobbly, In the end, It became huge probelm of mine.

 

slow 12's are weak, do fast 12's

 

not a good idea with wobbles tho

 

fast 12's are no problem, i can come ride centimeters from my bar at 35-55 mph, , i tried pullin in the clutch the other day to try a coaster but as soon as i pulled in the clutch the wobbles started

 

First sell the r6, but that isn't your problem. I use to have that problem your not distributing your weight evenly. Dump the clutch keep your arms out and keep your weight even between both legs. When you wobble plant both feet stay smooth on the gas/brake and lean back a bit. That should work oh and stop thinking about it. If you think your gonna wobble before you even pick the bike up your wheelie is gonna **** because your not concentrating. Also don't put it down work through it and make sure you have your idle up.

 

He's talking about when he 12s and is on the bar it starts to wobble...Sheesh

 

i read bald tires give you wobbles when doing wheelies

 

no im talking before i hit the bari have a fi bar , its pretty wide so if i get it on the bar fast enough its stable and i can park it or whatever, and my tire is fine barely has any ware on it

 

I would say your not smooth enough on throttle/brake, and may not have smooth body movement...

 

in my opinion wobbles come from bad throttle control. Lock your throttle wrist and control it with the brake. R6 is a good stunt bike.

 

your the first person i have ever heard say that , everyone else is like get rid of it and get an f4i, i think i just need to make some training wheels

 

One of the guys here in sac (91sicks) was killing his r6, he switched up to an f4i but the r6 is still being used. He just reinforced the subframe like no other and was good. As long as your willing to fab stuff up its cool. Dont get me wrong, if she is in good shape try to sell and get the f4i, but if thats too much trouble and your willing to stay yamaha, dont even sweat it. But yeah the f4i (for learning) is the bike to have. Keep at it, you'll get it.:YEAH

 

i still owe 4500 on this r6 and if i tried to sell it know i might get like1500 if im lucky so as long as im gonna be paying i might as well keep it

 

damn....thats cool. iF you got low miles you might be able to fix her up and get 5g cash money. Cop you an f4i for 3g and have 2g left. But as long as you reinforce the subframe and have a good cage, keep the r6 , it might last you past cirlces or more. Good luck bro. Post some vids of your progress, it'll help your progression.

 

is your bar at 12 or 11.30?

 

its like 11:45 and i got my vid from last year on my myspace page www.myspace.com/dfrank83, i need to get a camera, and someone who is decent at filming, its like everyone has a seizer as soon as you hand them a camera

 

yeah, I noticed that too

and the best excuse I heard was from my gf: "the wind was moving the camera" haha
