rear braking question

About how long did it take everyone to learn to use there back brake while there wheeling. I know everyone is different I just wanna see the differences so I could get a clue.

Re: rear braking question

dont worry about how long it tool anyone just work at your own pace!
i found it easy to go in a big open area and turn my idle upto about 4grand pop the wheel up and back off the throttle!
keep goin higher and higher with each try till when u back off the throttle the wheel keeps goin up then lightly tap the brake! worked for me! takes time mate!

Re: rear braking question

the way I learned to wheelie was to put the bike in 3rd or 4th gear and stand on both back pegs then clutch it upthat way it doesn't come up so fast that's just wat worked for me tho

Re: rear braking question

Took a couple of days to get used to it i guess. The more difficult part is having good throttle control......that is key

Re: rear braking question

my brake control sucked when i did fast wheelies,,, as soon as i started hitting the lots it took about a week to have it down to where you just do it without thinking about it.

It's not that bad it doesn't come up that fast and if u get back too far you have leverage over the bike to push it down
