Wind question

I'm wondering if it's just me or in my head.. but when i'm doing wheelies or anything to do with a wheel off the ground and it's a decent wind out.. it seems to push the bike around

Re: Wind question

Sounds like you need to do the wind deflector mod . It makes a big difference . Heres a pic.

Re: Wind question

Okay I might be a noob but seriously.. I wondering if it's just me.. because within 300-400yards i will be in the other lane on a windy day.. but on a none windy day i'm fine.. Maybe i'm just putting to much lean on windy days?

Thats a dumb idea to honest thats how you get brake boil and then before you know it you are watching your bike do flips down the highway while sliding very closely behind it. Good luck with that idea.

That sounds like one guy that was saying BP is where ever you set it at riding the brake and throttling it at the same time.
But yes wind can push you around. There is one road that always seems to have a gusty cross wind and the gusts will give me nudge but you just correct and keep going. Before being able to steer a wheelie **** like the crown in the road would always cause me to drift to the side.

Re: Wind question

well our roads are REALLY badly crowned.. all they do is use oil and dirt and compact it around here.. I gotta ride 2 hours for good pavement.. so i gotta practice on compact dirt.. where sometimes when i clutch it up I literaly DIG a divit in the road. or when i riding you can see imprints in the road from the bike.. hahah!.. But when i go to the REAL pavement i'm fine. winds today were 86km/h were i am.
