Question about standups!

when doing normal standups i don't know why it just feels really odd to me. I can do passenge peg wheelies and 1 foot on the rear peg wheelies better. when i do a stand up normally, i feel like i'm to high or really uncomfortable with my footing, any tips or ideas to what might be wrong? cuz i'm trying to cover my rear brake to, any tips let me know, thanks.

yeah, but also the feel of where my feet are feel different, like all the weight is on the handlebars just to cover the brake. but thanks for the opinion.

Get someone to record you, then go back and take a look. You're not as high as you feel....once you see that you'll relax a little.

Are you doing 50-70 mph highway wheelies or are you trying slow 5mph stuff?

For the fast ones I keep both feet on the front pegs, for the slower **** I throw my left foot back on the passenger peg. I'm not really comfortable with it yet either but I'm sure the more practice I get in the more natural it will start to feel.

I can do the slow stuff, but normal stand ups going slow or highway feel odd to me. especially when i clutch it up lol.

GSXRs are wide too so that probably doesnt help
