Re: Circle frustration
I'm not reading every post in this thread cause I'm lazy so the only other thing I'll say is learn it on idle before anything else and dont hit the throttle at all, when you get that youll have a better time of controlling the bike

Re: Circle frustration
i have my idle set at 3k everytime i ride and i circle to the right with my foot in the seat. you can circle with just idle and bein smooth on break but its easier to swing em around when ya give it throttle. im working on doing more than a couple circles my problem is that i let the front end get too low and you just have to give it gas to bring it back up. its scary dont wana high side but ya just gota do it. throttle is the key as far as im concerned lol it helps me and my friend killls circles and always tells me to use more throttle and pick the front end up.

Re: Circle frustration
you can do it either way . when you are smooth with the brake you can do smooth slow circles with out using the gas except to make corrections but if you want more speed and more lean then you use more gas ..

Re: Circle frustration
I moved my brake pedal down today, that helpled, I went to 23psi and we were at a flat parking lot. Now I am thinking that my handlebars are my handicap.... I had issues last summer with them, I am really stubborn and dont want to take my upper off, I have my vortex clips at a few degrees past the stock angle....... I rode ATOWNS bike today, hes got his flipped and turned out straight and I felt alot better, more control and I could move the bike where I wanted it. Did anyone learn with stock clip ons? stock angle? I guess I could rip the front of my bike back off till I learn and then put it back on, but I love having a stock looking bike. Once you rip all the **** off a bike, whats the point of having a sport bike? why dont we just pick up some ******* 1984 yamaha Virago's??????? I want the best of both worlds homies! HA HA HA

Re: Circle frustration
Trust me, I know how you feel, there are people that know how to circle here, but are either out of town, or to cool to ride with me ....
Sucks learning without someone that knows what there doing right there beside you, but thats how I have learned everything I know, so **** it, Im pretty much used to it.... The worst thing is that it gets ****** BORING to stunt by myself.... Im there for an hour and leave cause Im sitting there letting the bike cool down, talking to myself... And then when I do pull of a sick trick, Im screamin and hitting rev limiter with no one around for miles.... LoL
