Where is your...
 
Balance point???

I am "scared" to really find it .. I dont wanna fall on my @$$ because that would be the end of me riding altogether... so how do you "KNOW" how far back to pull to find it??? :banghead

its a little freakin bike, you can control it better then a biggin! sheeeesh ... i just cant find it :shruggs

Dumb question I know, but shoot, everyone has been at that point so it doesnt hurt to share some wisdom and knowledge right? right! :cheers

[QUOTE=old man roger]practice on your quad its safer[/QUOTE]


my quad is automatic... i cant pull it up all the way.. i can get it off the ground a bit, but not all the way up ... now if i had a clutch, i could do it ... also, i dont like wheelies on the quad, i like going airborn and landing it :YEAH ...

i am so frustrated with the little bike wheelie thing i am about to just give it up :banghead

i am certainly NOT a multitasker ... so i have to get the "feel" of the balance point rather than watching the throttle imput.. once i can figure out how to balance i can then figure out how to rev it when needed... right???

Re: Where is your...
 
well ......i was trying to say when your at balance point you can let off the throttle and the bike doesnt come down you need to hit the rear brake to put it down

[quote=Cathi]i have the rear brake thing down i think... haha except when wearing flip flops ... but i have gained control over that part...[/quote]then rock it back till your oh shit alert goes off and instead of slamming on the brake just give it enough to keep the bike from looping out and then you got something:YEAH ps flip flops dont be a silly f u c k e r :nono

dont be a puss. just go back as far as you think you can and hit the brake. and keep doing that till you feel comfi. and it will all come together :cheers

Something you can try ,

Sit on the bike at a complete stop . Put your feet down and slowly give it gas . Let the front end come up real slow while holding the bike in place .

You are doing this to stand the bike almost straight up . If you have a hand brake it is easier to hold bike in the wheelie position when it gets to that point . You can also stand behind the bike in this position while holding on to the bars .

Doing this will help you feel how the bike position is when it is on one wheel And you won't get hurt cause you are not moving .
