I get scared

So i can get them up decently high in second gear. But as soon as it gets up there and the bike is balanced i practically **** my pants and let the bike down back to the ground. I've ridden a couple for a second or two. But most of the time it's up and then down. What do you do to overcome this fear?

its the r6 the damn balance point is high and narrow as hell just got to over come that fear. I was just starting to balance my r6 when it was stolen from me now i have a 636 and as soon as i rolled out of the dealership i could balance it no problems. i just think r6 is harder to find balance point.

Practice......Get it to the balance point then when you get scared take it out but don't put it all the way down. Just get it back to where you are comfortable then go back again. You will be more comfortable knowing that you can get it out and you are not going to loop it. Good Luck!

Yeah what he said!!!!

The balance point on an R6 is a little touchy but you'll get it

But then again if you use the rear brake the balance point is all the way back to the bar

practice and know that we can't help you with fear, that's on you, everyone here can answer technical q's all day long but it's the " im scared" ones that you have to overcome yourself. a month from now you'll look back and laugh
