03 r6 with idle at about 3000, i cant seem to get a nice tight circle. i can do about a half to 3/4 circle but they are big ones!!! how do i get it so they are tight? what body position do i need? right now im putting my left leg in the subframe. how can a get the bike to go hard into the circle??? thanks

 

it sound like your just steering circles. which isnt a true "circle" wheelie.

the farthest ive got is 3/4 and ive gotten that a bunch of times now. im giving up on them..at least for awhile. theres a lot more **** to learn.

BUT

when you riding idle try to rip it back behind bp and apply pressure to the foot on the side you want to turn into. at the same time pull the opposite clip on towards you. Im not a circle veteran...but this is the way i get it to dip. but then its like 2 more gas brake cycles and i **** it up. im not smooth enough yet.

 

ye im steering for sure ive had it a couple times where it"feels" like a circle wheelie but then i **** it up

 

yea...just get it behind bp and work with it. it will dip. then gas that ****!

 

i get past bp and it does dip the problem is it feels like its gona stall or it goes too far back and i have to bail and let the bike back down. maybe my body / leg position isnt right. should i have my leg fully extended? should i b on top of the, leaned back/ forwar...???

 

dood honestly i dont know. all i know is that its like learning to whoolie all over. its a different type of awkwardness you have to get used to. gas that *****. grab brake and gas again... you should be fine

 

u left out the most important part though............ if it starts bucking "jump"

 

seriously tho thats the hardest part... the bucking ... i just dont get it

 

go very slow, dip in and enter behind bp little on the brake, and let the idle carry you...

 

heyah bruno!
how much do you turn the idle up to?

 

go out to a nice flat area make sure someone is filming it throw it up slow it down ,slower slower.k now crash 2-300 hundred times,and if you still don't gotem you probly never will but what you do have is good crash footage to send in maybe you can get enough for it to fix all the **** you broke while on your quest for circles seriously from myself and everyone around me it seems the only way to get these damn circles is to just try and try it's just like training yourself to use the rear brake while in a wheelie mind over matter..U got to commit to the circle that is key!!!! and look were ur going (inside the circle) and use very lil brake and dont be afraid of the gas its ur best friend in the circle!!!!! good luck! :YEAH

 

It only bucks when you clutch it. I just can't stand that bucking clutch...

 

I learned the quickest sitting down with my left foot down. Then I came in behind the BP idle at about 3k and steady brake, slow it down, let it fall in, then let off the brake to come around light on the brake again to keep it from coming back too far, but still stay behind BP, let off the brake, over and over. If it acts like it wants to straighten out then you aren't behind BP anymore.

Make sure you get use to pulling in the clutch as soon as you feel it start to highside, It'll save your *** and You need clutch control later so you can slip it.

I'm still learning them too but I can get about 3 sitdowns (feet on the pegs) and 3 foot in the seat.

I think I get too excited and loose concentration

 

I don't know, now I ride 900rr after a long downtime and can't turn for **** and shouldn't be talking...but on the 636 full stock I used to hold it at approx. 3500. How you been doing man? I hear you have GR sign your van

 

yea circles are a pain I can only get about 3 quarters of one and than I start to high side ive only had one big crash so far from trying but im sure it wont be the last

 

I'm not even trying cuz I don't have a cage yet (not worth it), got out of few luckily thnx to clutch and won't play anymore, waiting for cage to start working on tehnical stuff...

 

You have to be right behind the bp to get the bike to actually lean in for a circle.
