I've been practicing stand-ups and sit-downs. I have an 04 GSXR 1000. Everytime I hit balance point doing stand-ups, the rear tire wobbles. I tried bringing it up close to balance point and creep up on it, but the rear wheel just starts wobbling and I have to bring it back down. Any points?

BTW, I installed a pick up after reading your guys post.
You guys rock.

 

maby drop your tire presure that will help some if its not already dropped

 

+1.....and the tire doesn't have a flat spot in the middle, does it? the condition of the tire is important

 

Nope, no flat spot. I read the post about tire pressure. I dropped it to 28, then 25. Works good @ 25 psi for sit-downs. Any recommendations on tires make and models? Right now I got a Pirelli Diablo 190 rear tire.
I was talking to one of my friends and he thinks I have to be more smooth with the throttle when it's that high.

 

whatevers in the bikeshops dumpster :YEAH :YEAH

thats what i was gonna say

 

I had a feeling about that. It feels like I chop it a little, the front drops out of balance and then I give it a little too much. Thanks guys. I'll try again this coming weekend.

 

I have the same year gix and yeah, you're right about being smooth on the throttle....as far as tires go I prefer Michelin Pilot Power on the gix....nice n' sticky

 

do you have you left foot on the rear peg if so try to almost lock your leg out because I had that prob and I was pretty much hanging behind the bike and one of my friends told me to try to lock out and it opened up a totaly new balance point

 

don't lock out your leg unless your at BP. smooth throttle. that pirelli kicks ***, keep it

 

my bad I forgot to mention that and I agree that is a bad *** tire

 

I'm keeping my feet on the front pegs. I just started stunting and learning pretty fast. Good friends/advice/forum (stuntlife). I got a pic of me just starting to creep up to BP and after the pic, it started wobbling. Should I try leaning back locking my arms and legs? Or is my body position alright?

 

go staggerd and clutch it straight to the bp because you loose so much by chaseing it I cant tell by your pic but a cage save more money than it costs ive got an 04 600 and I fell in love with powers cage I recemend them for the gixxers

 

looks good, when you get it up that high start applying a little break and keep the throttle steady.
the reason you start to wobble is probably becasue you let off the throttle.

 

Actually, I got the Powers cage on there. Can't really see it cause it's black, too.

 

I kind of feel that... I go to about 60 mph, power it up right to that height and ease into the balance point, but I get a little startled ( I guess that would be the correct word ) and slack throttle, I guess I'm slacking a little too much. How's about installing a hand brake, or should I keep learning with the right foot brake?
I'm also thinking of making a write up on installing my Stuntex oil pick up. Came in Monday from Stuntme.com. Has anybody done that?

 

i got a bp you can buy 150 bucks shiped

 

put that ish on ebay buddy.... ....

no squids here

 

its easy to install to pick up tube just take of you cage side plastics and you exhaust and drop the pan take out the 2 10mm bolts that hold the factory one on and than put it all back together I got mine in last friday and tonight my motor started Knockin like a **** I guess I waited to long to get one so if you know were I can get a motor at decent price for an 04-05 gixxer 600 let me know O and on the hand brake its not a bad idea but I would get idle on the foot brake first but thats your call

 

Nah, too much that. 10 bucks for a tank of gas and a couple more wekends, I think I'll get um.

 

I know how to do it. I was just wondering if I should take pics doing it and make a write up for future stunters. Actually, I live on a little rock in the Pacific Ocean and shipping for the engine might be more than the engine itself.
