ok so im tryin to learn circles... im settin my idle as high as it will go on my f4i and i got a 72th sprocket on with rear handbrake setup... turn my idle up and i can rock balance wheelies while hitting my back brake... i can scrape my tail and keep it goin and i need to know whats the first start in learning circles... are u clutching in the midst of the circle? or u just letting the idle take u for a ride? im putting my foot on the left back peg and the other on the brake... whats my next step into learning cicrles?? some good feedback will help... thanks guys =)

 

idle up as high as it can go ??? wtf

 

turn your idle down to like 3000rpms or lower and get used to that. then start tryin circles

 

subscribing.. assuming any good info gets told.

i can rock idle **** and turn like big wide 180s but have no idea what the process is to lean into and commit to a circle.

read that... its been discussed to death on here and its asked all the time

 

read all that shiz before, 1st link is dead btw.. just hoping someone will say something magical that makes me understand how.

 

push the bike into the circle, turn the bars away from the direction of the circle, and lean to the outside...

if it starts fallin too the inside, hit the gas
if it starts to stand straight up, hit the brake

its all in practice! the more you practice, the better you will be

 

this man always excellent explain, every honor! +100

 

everthing allready said is all correct, but learning brake control is key, appling more brake will tighten up ur circle were as more gas will widen it..

 

ok ok thanks and my idle will only go to like 3 or 4 thousand rpms anyway... should i be using a differant footing sytle than i am? one foot back left peg the other on the brake? so its brake control and leaning alot i guess? first wide circles then work my way into smaller ones? i appreciate the feedback peoples =)

 

its actually better to start out by doing 1/4 circles that are kinda tight instead of huge wide circles. that just gives you a false sense of accomplishment. i learned that way and it was a hard habit to break. i still do it sometimes and it sucks!

keep the idle as low as possible with you bieng able to not use the throttle at all and stand however you are comfortable. the rest is just practice

 

thanks man i try to help out since i went through all this a couple months ago. the learning process is still fresh in my head haha

 

ive found the first revolution in circle wheelies r the hardest, oncee u learn to do one revolution, the rest flow until u can go 'round a long time. in regards to body position:
i would try to stay to the inside of which ever way u turn. that way u can hold a smaller diameter circle and ultimatley do slower circles which will give u more time w/ the controls. if u watch any of Teach McNeils runs, he is prodominatly on the outside w/ a far greater lean angle, to do that he has to go pretty fast, just practice tight and low speed circles.

 

HELL YEa! thanks guys the feedback was great and im goin to go bust them circles out tomorrow =)

 

big ben stop giving streetbike stunting advice from your dirtbike knowledge

its totally different

try doing it SS

 

Oh ok,, that sounds easy.. i have just been hitting my circle button from Hai, but i think mines defective.

 

not to be a complete ****, but NOONE listen too this advice! this is the complete opposite of what you wanna do if you want to learn circles.

leaning too the inside of a circle is from what ive heard, probably the worst habit you can get!

 

he keeps giving horrible advice, hes cocky since he won 3d place amat. freestyle at kos
