Okay I've been off my bike for a little of month and today was the first time I got a real ride in.Well to make it short,I tried some stoppies and my **** kept locking up sliding,but when I did them Hi -chair they were fine.What causes this to happen?Oh and the front tire is a dunlope and I really ride michellen sport could that been it?I just hope it aint the forks or the rotors cause those are new.Help me out.

peace!

 

just depends on the road your ridin and are you tryin to roll them or just do stoppies just ride around a bit and warm up your tires then try um that should help usaully when my tire locks up its because my tire is cols or the road is dirty hope this helps

 

Yeah it depends on the road. I have had sections of the same road lcok my tire and slide for a few feet skidding the tire. It'll leave a black "peelout" like mark on the ground. It all depends. You might have his a dusty patch or road or ????

Try a different location when your tires are nice and hot and see what happens.

I have some shitty tires I get for free and are used. Since winter has passed, I think I got a weathered tire and sometimes when I try to wheelie its peel out on me. Its more annoying than anything.

I would keep doing them. Just be careful. Do enough "exercises" in different locations to see if that is the actual problem.....

 

hell i can only do stoppies out here at my house i try it in town and it slides and i look like a damn fool i dont get it.

 

ever look at the pavement after a car was sittin there for a min? see all that stuff they leak? maybe thatll make a difference!! good thing i learned that on a different bike, not my gixxer!

 

I've had my tire slip in cold weather also!

 

your just rusty. It's not your bike if your doing them on the windsreen. Just relax and do them

 

My guess is you don't have enough weight on the front wheel. Try leaning all your weight forward and right as the forks begin to compress bounce on the seat to lift the rear.

 

I prefer pilots or M1's. I also drop my pressure to about 25psi for more surface area when doing stoppies. I seems to work for me.

 

well thats what my boy said also but I'm thinking its something else,Now my hi-chairs are longer and higher than ever before,regular stoppies............nothing 2ft max?WTF!I'll just keep trying.

 

i'm convinced it's the cold weather. cause i was out yesterday in the middle of the day and everything was fine, but when the sun started to go down i started to have trouble with stoppies and wheels, tires just kept slidin'.
