Re: Circles?
true but the difference is the gsxr is not the smoothest bike and a blip is not always nice! with the timing retard system that bilp is unpredictable.

Re: Circles?
I'm still learning them, but gettin more consistent, with the same stance and direction as you. Other than practice these guys have said it all, whats holdin me back a lot is too much brake, end up riding it inadvertantly while puttin weight on the inside foot(brake) . I go in on a steady idle, and keep sayin to myself stay off the brake, squeek squeek..

Re: Circles?
Oh... I see. I got the whole pulling in the clutch when highsiding and jumping off then setting it down. Is there more to it than that? Earlier in this thread it was said that if you come back past BP to slip it a lil. Still thinking about it..... haha

Re: Circles?
the best thing to do is to develop ur own style when it comes to circles... i know it doesnt help for me to say this but u will some day be bangin out circles... so that bein said allways remember these things:
1- always cover ur clutch
2- break control is the most important part of doin circles
3- use ur upper body to move the bike and leave ur lower body as planted as possible (obv u will use it a little but ur hips dont steer the bike ur upper body does)
4- no one likes to watch slow circles so try and speed em up and get em tight
5- feel ur bike dont try to guess
do those things and u'll be killin **** in a month or two

Re: Circles?
riding with people that are good is like the best way to learn them,the new guy(proudfeet) that started riding with us went from 10-15mph staggered wheelies to comboing from can-can to RL circles in just under 3 months!

Re: Circles?
There are only a few people out here that are super good..... but they r very difficult to catch and ride with. I rode with SIC MikeD a couple weeks ago, and that was the most fun I have had.... plus learned a ton. Awesome guy... very busy. The other SIC guys are super busy, and Team Famous SAS are too big. Then there are 2 local riders that r pretty sick, and I get to ride with them again this weekend. If I could ride everyday with an awesome rider... I would in a heartbeat.

Re: Circles?
I began working with circles this weekend.... and would like to see what everyone is doing different out there. I slow it to like 5mph, dip it in at BP, turn my head..... and then play with the gas and rear brake. My rear tire pressure is at 32psi, and I am working staggard right now. I am in first gear also w/ 56 tooth on my 600RR.
I went to the right, and got one full revolution before i dropped the nose too much.... but it felt nice, just different (the whole leaning thing). I highsided 3 times, and lowsided it once due to a lil too much throttle.
Just looking to see if anyone did anything that they found made it a little easier on them, different techniques, etc.
