cant watch vids on the work PC
i hear you though, when you are learning idle it's natural to be heavy on the brake, try turning the idle down... that will l etyou use less brake to keep the bike from looping and will teach you some touch/feel with your foot

exactly... 4000 will help you catch it and understand... but it will also make you use a lot more pressure on the rear brake and it might even pull it over onto the bar when you dont want it too... so after you learn at 4000 and have the concept, drop it down to 3000... keep adjusting til you are getting them nice
