best clip on setup for learning circles

i have woodcraft clip ons flipped upside down , with the tubes almost all the way out, just enough to mount my hb on the left side on the end of the tube, and about a couple inches in from straight

whats the best setup for learning circles, is stock position better?

The further out they are the more leverage you have to twist the bike around. That being said, dirtbike bars are the easiest, with aftermarket clip-ons coming next, then stock clip-ons pushed out, and regular stock set-up being the hardest.

i find aftermarket clip ons way more comfortable than dirtbars, and i previously had them at stock length, so i'll try them at full length and see how it goes..

the reason i asked is not because of leverage, but if i was to put them to stock i would be able to stay on top of the bike easier

Re: best clip on setup for learning circles

check this out, i turned my clip ons so they're straight out, and moved the tubes out as far as they go...

i went out, instead of pulling up wheelies and having to slow it down, i now clutch straight into circle speed, and i'm way smoother on the brake, i can ride it at stalling speed forever without stalling, turning into circles is a breeze, and i've never rolled a stoppie in my life but i'm getting like 100 feet after a couple tries...


this setup is definitely better, all though doesn't look as good or feel as good to me at least the leverage is worth it.

After you flip them upside down swap sides (left-->right, right-->left)

I got my Woodcraft pieces like this and it works great.

right, my brakes were barely bled good enough to stop, that's why i was "popping" stoppies.

and you know nothing about stunting, go back to doing 60mph combos in a parking lot almost running into people
