I'm impoving...But something is not comming!!!

Alright...little update.

So a few times a day i've been going out to this spot i found...and practicing....my wheelies!

I just got back, and i improved a little bit...but I'm still taking it kinda slow, i don't have a cage and don't wanna totally ruin my F4i.

I've been clutching them up in first....at around a 15mph roll. I'm still doing this to just get consistent at bringing them up. But when i do slip the clutch at a decent RPM, when my front end comes up (which it is supposed to....and does) It really starts to feel weightless. Sometimes my front end comes up...but not as high...and i'm still on the throttle and can ride it out for a little bit....but when it comes up to that point where that feeling comes in, i just chop the throttle! I know it's instinct, but it starts to get weightless in the font. if i keep on the throttle like that, ummm ya (im in 1st gear)

What im asking is when i get to that point, what? i'm probably not close to bp because everyone thinks they are but there really arn't, but if i stay on the throttle kinda hard like that....im pretty sure of a loop....mabye? i dont think thats gunna be good for my...or my bike! but then again im newer to this and I'm probably high...but not all the way up there.

What do i do? hold the throttle steady when it gets this high (don't increase or decrease), then use the rear brake and throttle together to "fine tune" it....or what

Thanks

So when i get up there like that...get on the rear brake....but thats gunna make me come down? Ur sayin get on the brake....and keep on the throttle somewhat hard....and if i start to go higher, push on the brake more/more?

Untill i get to bp and my throttle/rmps level out?

**** jail **** cops and **** power wheelies

as you get up to bp you will roll off the throttle and use the back brake to keep you right there

if you go back to far tap the brake, if you start to come down give it gas.....its a learning curve man it doesnt happen overnight

You have to be 1 with the rear brake. Don't mash it when you get too high, make love to it, ease on it. you can accelerating and the bike climbing and use the brake to drop the nose to the desired height. A 4 wheeler really helped me with brake control and bp. Never had a fiddy but the 4 wheeler really gave me stability and is forgiving when you abuse the brake and slam the front end down.
