when i go for stoppies my front slides. its startin to happen all the time. almost lost it a couple of times because of this. my front tire has 5000 miles on it. could this be the problem? thanx

 

What Kind Of Tire Is It. If It Is An 207 Or 208. Get A New One

 

what ever stock is. in 5000miles ive got 1 front tire 3 rear ones. i love burnouts!

 

i learned to stoppie on a 500lb yzf600 with a completely bald front tire with about 8k miles on. now i can make anything stick. just dont panic when it locks up and u'll be fine, o and do it on a warm day, anything below 50 makes it more difficult to get traction

 

What Do You Ride

 

03gixxer6 ive laid it over a couple of times so my forks might be bent? i really dont know. maybe i just suck. last year i was rollin a couple of times. now i can hardly bring it up!

 

Put A Pilot Front Tire On It. You Should Be Good Then

 

shift your weight a lil bounce off your pegs helps also compress the forks before you bring up the back wheel or maybe even adjust the forks the lil slotted adjustment at the top you can play with i got mine set about 7 clicks out... warm the tire up before you try and watch out for oil and coolant espeasially comming up to traffic lights

 

you have 3 rear tires? that must be an odd lookin bike

 

its slidin everywhere. even on the backroads. i know how to do a stoppie its just startin to slide all the time.

 

my bad i was jus trying to help if your doing all i said then i guess im no help to ya good luck

 

New Tire Trust Me.

 

New tire. Until then, let a little air out of it. that should help. Good luck

 

lower the tire PSI , i think 28-30 PSI is great to learn, 30 will be good for street and for stunting . or you can do what my guy does ,the balder the tire get ,the lesser the psi he runs he says it works great for him

 

thanks. i plan on gettin a new tire soon.

 

Not just a new tire...*** Dunlops for the front. Get a Pilot Sport or Metzler Sportec M1.

 

<-- I Run a take off up front, locks up once when its cold some times, other then that really grippy and i do stoppies at almost every red light

 

No doubt MasterShake, I run 208GP's (takeoffs) and the front grips all the time, maybe in the past few months I've had it lock up twice (That's after heatin' em up for a good 5-10 minutes before though).
