Seat position

Hey so i basically just tried stunting around 5 days ago. for about 2 hours a day id ride around and practice clutching it up in first going about 10-15 mph. And now today was my fifth day and i am very comfortable sitting down and doing wheelies. I can ride a wheelie now in first geer up near the balance point for pretty long. But when i get up to balance point it still scares the crap outa me sitting down. And i was told that standing up is way more comfortable. But everytime i try to stand up and clutch it up i get thrown down in my seat. What should i do? And i dont have passenger pegs on my bike right now. so

help!? thanks

Re: Seat position

I'm just learning myself, so there's not much to help you with; this is what I do...

Put your left leg back on the left passenger peg and keep your right foot covering the brake (so you can tap it if you go too far back). Now, roll at 10-15 mph. Keep your arms steady and strong, and your legs locked out and sturdy. Slip the clutch, rev, let it out and as it comes up just keep your right hand steady and try and keep your butt in the air and control the throttle to hold it up there.

That's pretty much what I do..

Are you able to videotape yourself and post?

Good luck.

Re: Seat position

nevermind I just went out today... you cant lock your left leg... Just lock your arm and keep your left leg bent and absorb the shock of the bike coming up..
