Re: Circle Wheelies
do u guys think it is easier to do em with the foot in the subframe ?
everybody says it doesnt give ya as much arm pump and your way higher.
can it be learned (eaisly) on the rear peg ?

Re: Circle Wheelies
still working on it.
i got soe to fall in and start to turn but falling in too fast.
i got others to turn in with the nose too high and bailed out of it early ...
practice..practice ...practice.
i need to stay ON TOP of the bike more i think. i was leaning off too much.
need some gearing too.
bike keeps stalling and low speeds.
any more advise is appreciated.

u do em pretty tight like that ??
i got big... steering circles so far.. idle set at 2500 -1 in the front.
bike dies all the dam time though..
i finally figured out that if i straighten my leg that is in the subframe... i can tunr the bike will almost no effort.
heres a series of pics all from one wide turn i did..
look at em and see if my positioning is right or what i can fix.
thanks

Re: Circle Wheelies
i think the key to tight right handed circles is the bikes lean angle, slowly dipping it over for a second just makes big circles. i ride them to the almost a stall with the idle up and dip it right and let off the brake
going to the left on the peg is a whole different thing

Re: Circle Wheelies
i like it with my foot on the peg going left, but the subframes nice because your weight isn't on your arm's as much, i just have a easier time on the peg for some reason

Re: Circle Wheelies
Hey I was out by myself today trying them for the very first time. Man I was out there for at least 2 hours trying to accomplish anything. I can't get the BP to save my life. I wheelie on the highway for about 2 miles but that is it. But I am using the gas when doing it. This is totally new for me. This BP thing is killing me. WHen the bike gets up I get scared. How do you guys get past the mental part of this. Also I have -1 front on a zuk 1k. Will I be able to do this with this setup or do I need to change it?>

rear brake is the key
