I don't know what is wrong with me! I am having the most trouble with riding out wheelies! I ride a 00 zx-9r and I definately don't have a problem bringing it up! I also went one down on the front sprocket so that makes it alot easier! Sometimes I think that my problem is that I only do power wheelies and it may be easier to keep it up clutching it... hell-if-I-Know!!! I'm sure that there are plenty of guys on here that have an answer so feel free to drop some knowledge!!!

 

get a honda

 

You need to tighten your power band up in your motor its probabally a little sloppy if you havent had it adjusted lately

 

Yup.. I check mine every 500 miles or so. When it gets loose I cant even get the front wheel higher than a foot. So mabe take it to a qualified shop and have them check it out

 

I think its pretty cheap to get it done i have one of my boys who works at a shop do mine but i think its like fitty buck or something to adjust it but i think they will check if for free

 

 

Well, how do you deal with the feeling that you're going to loop it? Is there a technique to surpass that feeling or do you just have to suck it up and get used to it?

 

cover your back brake if you feel your going over hit the brake easy as that.....and why do you keep postin the dancing ppl its kinda creapin me out

 

Because their going to adjust your powerband at night while your *** is sleeping lol

 

yea, i sounds like it's that easy just hitting the back brake if it feels like imma go over, but i always have the brake covered but it never crosses my mind to hit it when i reach that point! my first instinct is to close the throttle and that's worked so far but i haven't been able to get a tad bit and get back on keeping it up. it's always close, then open then down soft or close then open then redline then striaght down!

 

OH, and i keep putting the "dancing people" (as previously refered to) on here cuz i can't push myself to go work out so i might as well get some good callistenics while im on here. LOL! plus the chick in the front got a nice lil camel toe if you look close enough!

 

if your tail smacks the hwy your gonna think to hit the brake lol

 

that's nasty, i saw you looking! PERV!!!

 

well, i've got a lil while before that happens, im still doing pow pow's in first. when i get the feeling that it's going to loop, im probably at about 2 o'clock or 1:30 so i'm not really worried about scraping the tail yet

 

Your on the wrong side of the clock there bud.

 

2:30 to 1 o'clock... same thing as 10:30 to 11 o'clock... different strokes for different folks!

 

you was right the first time

 

i thought so!

 

I deff got the sleepy haha's cuz i read that and started cracking up...

 

You can try riding smaller wheelies down using the brake to teach yourself to rely on it more. I'm a conservative rider.

Clutch harder with more throttle. I figure everytime I "freak out, cut the throttle, and jam on the rear brake in pure terror causing my head and body to slam into the tank", i'm just another step closer to teaching myself to get used to being there.

Anyhow, these progression threads help me, so thanks.
