When I clutch 'em up from a slow roll sitting I can't see where I'm going and then the bike starts to walk back and forth on the road then I bring it down and I don't come down stright so it almost turns into a minor tank slapper.

Thanks in advance,

sitting slow stuff, you can't see. just stare at the tank or triple tree.

when coming down, just make sure you straighten the bars....that's about all i can say to help.

 

try learning to slow wheelie with your foot on the left rear peg, and right foot on back brake standing. It was alot easier for me. Be on the back brake when you clutch it up. Your wobbling probably because you are going to fast and trying to power the bike past the balance point. Go slow, and pop it up quick and high, and hold it with the back brake. Hope that helps.

 

So your saying that you actually have a little pressure on the back break when you bring it up or do you throw it up then tap the brake to slow the rise where you want it?

 

I hear of people doing it this way 'riding the brake' to get it up to where they want it, but I just use throttle modulation to get it up to where I want it, and use the rear brake to save it from going too far back..

 

i'm kinda that way, i snap it up really hard and fast and then get on the brake when it's right at 12 then let off the throttle and start working the brake.

 

I appreciate the input fellas I'm gonna go try it snapping it up and then stopping the rise with the brake.

Another question though have you raised your idle or are you running it under 1k?

Thanks,

Your First Problem Is Your R1 There Garbage

 

i used to run it high but on 929's it stays about the same. so i keep it somewhere around 2500. it eventually bogs down to like 1500-2000 once i start working the brake anyways.

 

how do you raise the idole on a f4i? jus got 2 down and 5 up and went out to day im still fast but hold it for a few hundred yards

 

HEY HEY Now!

I gotta work with what I got besides when I bought it I wasn't thinking of stunting it just haven't bought a stunt bike yet so I'll keep working with the R1 till I do.

So if you know where I can find a crunchy piece let me know.

 

idle doesn't help fast wheelies...you have to be going like 10or less. work on getting to the balance point.

and the idle is on the left side under the tank.

 

if im not mistaken, its on the right side right next to the rear brake reservoir (how do you spell that?), turn the little *** left/right to adjust.

** If im wrong its cause im on a carburated f4 not injected f4i

for the most part, dido for what binder said about fast wheelies

 

every honda i've ever worked has been on the left side under the tank.

 

im not talkn bout fast wheelies jus my slow ones arnt that slow yet im jus learnen them and thanks ill look under the tank shouldnt be to hard to spot

 

I have an 02 F4I, it's not really 'under' the tank, just, go straight down the left side of the tank and it's stuck right there between the tank and the fairing, it's a white piece of plastic, with a metal clip on the white part, and a little black ****.

 

excuse my terminology, it's "below" the tank

 

I wasn't trying to be a dick, just didn't want the guy taking off his tank to look for it.

 

ya ya, i understand, i was just correcting myself.
