Hey all,

looking for a good stoppie thread, simialr to the wheelie thread, but searching for stoppies brings up loadsa results.

ANy tips for a GSXR600???? with Hel Braided Lines and new front pads? :YEAH

 

grab brake so forks compress and then grab harder

 

There is no quick way to learn them. The safest way is to spend two hours a day and go up and down the street. Only practice STOPPIES not rolling stoppies till you can get maximum height every single time you attempt it. Only then are u ready to start rolling them. When u can do that rolling them is a whole different beast. The back end kicking to one side will have you pissed off. You will then realize that your not high enough. The key is practice, practice, practice and then when you think you should go home practice some more. do as I say at least you will approach them safely. They will come in time.

 

by a cbr 600rr....... or a ninja 636 04......... lol jk just grab teh end of the front brake.....and give a sudden squeeze but not too hard........

 

bro its all about you. your tecniq will come in time. please dont flip if your a serious stoppie freak i promise you you will flip.

 

could not say it better... also get an extra pair of eyes to help with the how high did I get it part.. and to help you up if things go bad

 

wait...i thought it was better to learn em rolling?

 

Thanks for that, so i compress the forks, then squeeze some more, how quickly will i be expecting it to come up?

 

i really don't think that anyone is gonne give u a time frame on how long its gonna take for it to come up.

u just gotta feel it thru practice.

start slow....if it doesn't come up, use more brake...etc...etc

 

Thanks Bud

 

REALLY learning how to stoppie takes a lot of seat time! and a lot of trial and error!

 

lets put it this way BP on a stoppie is where you think its gonna go over but its really not just mash throttle in first gear let off pull iun clutch and front brake at same time when bike dips down grab a lil more just squeeze it firm not too fast or you lock up tire. make sure tire is warm first or its a instant lock up

 

it sucks when that happends

 

I used to be scared sh*tless of the front tire locking up. Untill about a month ago that is. I had it happen about 1 out of 4 atempts (the lot was still sandy from this winter). As soon as you hear it skid just let off the front brake and its all good. I was only going about 25/30mph and I know it will be a lot diff. at higher speeds but it was not nearly as bad as I thought it would be.

 

i lock mine up atleast twice cause as soon as i jump on thats the first thing i try... just push your bars down the road for a few mins get that tire warm and bam

 

Ok, should there be a certain speed i should be doing?
What about my front suspension, standard? softer than standard? or harder than standard?

how fast will the back end pop up? i'm expecting it'll be pretty quick

 

i learned rolling stoppies from 30-50mph just rollin em... just to get a feel for being on the front tire. To get a feel for the ballance point i would roll up to stop sign's and red lights and just get them higher and higher each time till i got a feel for it... It's one of them things where you have to practice and get a feel for it. I think if everyone explained how they do stoppies on here they would all be different. It's all the same fundamental's but people learn them differently

I used to practice em on my 50 in a parkin lot with parkin spots. Sometimes for hours and hours seein how many parking spots i could squeez out of a stoppie. I started doin the same thing on my gixxer. For me it seems easier to progress if i have marker's to go by. Start with 2 parkin spot's. Find a sweet spot. Work for 3, then 4, then 5 and so on. I dunno. Just something that works good for me

 

looping endo's suxs !!!!
take your time and be safe!

Set your forks up .
You want it to compress fast and decompress slow.
Take your time! It wont happen over night .
When you squeeze your brake let the forks compress then squeeze a little more to bring the back up. That will help.Don't just get a handful of brake to get it up .
