I'm going to go out on a limb and call BS on the "too high" claim in your post...

Re: finding bp?

if you can scrape your tail without crashing, then you should have no problem with balance point....

Re: finding bp?

If you are too high or too low, wouldn't you logically then need to be inbetween those to be juuuuust right?!? What are you basing your interpretations from...ie, if you know what too high is than you know where the balance point is too guage it off of....

And I am no efin pro, but even I know that the ultimate end all answer for any "how to stunt" question on this whole damn site is PRACTICE.

Use the search button, there is no easy button that you seek.

Re: finding bp?

stay smooth on the throttle. if you hit bp and get scared and chop the throttle then you're not gonna ride it out

Re: finding bp?

If your too high the bike will be slowing down reasonably quickly...but there is no way its possible to ride any distance with the bike higher than the bp before youve spent probably a good year or more of riding the bp.

Re: finding bp?

Bring it up real high, be smooth & cover your rear brake. Get your front end to the point where you stop picking up speed.Practice & cover your rear brake.
