today im gonna go out and try some seat standers..ive practiced with my bike parked steping up to the seat and back down..doesnt seem too hard..ive also pretended i was clutching it already standing on the the rear seat...what speed should i try these are and what method is the best...and hints or tips anyone?

 

go practice at the spot before you try'em on the highway, it won't be pretty if you loop one.

 

Try them in first gear on an empty road at first. Remember it comes up easy when you have all of your weight up high, and the balance point it lower.

 

no spots on the weekdays...and im not smooth enough to do them out of 3rd gear...

 

ive only had about 100 miles with my new sprockets...im waaay too choppy to even think about trying first..

 

Do them in first. If you can't learn them, it hurts a lot less when you eat crap. practice your throttle control, and you'll be better in the long run. Like he said remember the balance point is lower, so get in first where you have some engine break and give it a little clutch. NO 3rd!

 

yeah..i know theres more engine brake in 3rd but theres no way i could even pull a semi good one off in 1st gear..and my bikes -1 +12 so theres still a quit of bit of engine braking in 3rd...maybe ill go try 1st gear highchairs instead?

 

bro, stay the f*** off the highways in 3rd gear while trying to learn seat standers!!!

you'll kill yourself!

if you dont like 1st, then try 2nd on an empty road...it will be less twitchy.

but if yo ulearn 1st first, then the rest is cake!!!!


good luck!

 

sounds pretty dumb to me, go down to hall street or somethin. hiway is no good for learning

 

dude...you seen how many cops there are,and how many people got hurt down at hall street this summer? your from st.louis i do all my **** on highway 370 between the mills and elm...during the days theres very little cars...

 

idk why but every time on any bike i try a seat stander i get MAD wobble...worse than i have ever had...any ideas?

 

YOU NEED TO START LISTENING!!!!!! what's the fuking point of asking for help if you're gonna end up doing whatever the *** you want to??? you and FHL are the same, go ahead then, go to the highway and pull up a 3rd gear seat stander, then come back and tell us how I went.

 

im not trying to be an *** jope,ive had intentions on doing them for a while and im taking in everyones advise,but i didnt just ask weather or not i should do them,im asking for tips and hints to make them easier and safer..

 

how bout IL? if your not scared of the ghetto, go across 270 and go south by the old mckinly bridge

 

i just get on 270 from mcdonald,go 370...do my **** normally get off at earthcity and turn around and do some more....you ever ride anymore? i never have anyone to ride with...their all chicken cuz its cold..

 

Hey Flip, Do you not have a stabalizer? The good ones are about $400 but they're well worth the money.

 

just my fiddy now, had to sell my bike to pay some bills. the 50 is more fun in traffic

 

nope,and totally blown fork seals...im gonna get some new forks when i get a new motor and all that good stuff

 

ah that sux...you gonna get a new bike next season?

 

I was asking Flip...(no offense, you need one to) he said he had a lot of wobble after doing standers.
