So i practiced the SS Os today and would get them half way around, but i keep moving my a$$ around and trying to counter the bike i guess? I tried staying straight in line with it and just going with it but I guess its reflex. I was cutting it in nice but as soon as i moved my but it would straighten out. I followed the advice form the other thread standing nice and high almost over the head light knees almost locked, weight on the inside foot? Anyone else have this bad habit and overcome it its really making me angry?

I do it some times with my foot in the bar

i just learned these come in at idle dip the bike a little bit, kick your *** out to the opposite side your turning. i found keeping the front end up high and not dipping in to hard is the key.

thats not an SS

EZEC

thats a problem...first turn the idle down...and keep your knees bent.... straightening out your legs is pulling the bike out of the circle...

Thanks for the tip......I don't have the problem with SS....only with my foot in the bar (he asked if any one else has that kind of problem)

bend the knees alittle and go with the bike. if you stand up it will make it highside. play the game of keep the front wheel high

yea its just messin with my head I had the same problem learning circles on my XR100 id shift my weight and throw myself outta the circle. Im hoping that with time if i keep at them they will just come.

theres the video of the first day of trying them i was happy i could get the bike to turn in, but the cricles are WIDE and im going to the right it feels more natural to me i tried a few to the left which I will eventually have to learn for figure 8s but once i get them to the right it should be similar to the left?

EZEC

yeah your not circling just steering the bike....i find it easier to drop it back to coaster height then turn in.....

bend those knees!!! straight legs =straight wheelies

don't be afraid to go with the bike..

aaronwilliams

whats the best way to turn it in im having problems droping the nose in?

old man roger

tuck the tail under a bit lean the bike right an go with it if it starts to come out tuck the tail under and it will stay in the circle better to hit the bar then high side out

EZEC

really weight your left (or right) foot and look into the circle...

Snipes20

+1....always look where u want the bike to go

aaronwilliams

yea that lot sucks ***** too its got these groves that run the length of the lot and they always catch my tire and take me for a ride.

Armenian

+1 on that! differentials in pavement mess me up real bad especially when coasting
