Question keepin the front up

I need some help keeping the front up. I usually clutch it up in second because i cant power it up on this bike. I max out the revs and when i try to shift into third the front immediately drops. I cant keep it up no matter what i do. This newbie stunter needs some help.

if it dont drop till you try & shift, dont shift, if you have the bike at the balance point you should be able to ride in 2nd as far as you want. sounds like you are not quite up to the balance point, & relying too much on the throttle to keep er up, thus winding it out & needing to shift. Find the balance point & practice, practice, practice.

hey, a trick that helped me find my balance for 2nd gear was scooting my *** back as far as i can. it throws the weight off the front end a little more and it should be easier to balance
