You can't be serious, it works the other way.

You birdie and myself had the same problem getting the nose up the other week, the difference being I had far less control when the nose was high.
I thought high gearing would help fix it?

 

Based on what exactly????
if you gear it, it'll come up quicker, you'll pap it a bit more and shut off then slam the front down harder than before.
where' the point in that exactly?
don't remember that. was not doing as well later in the day as was tryin staggered for only my 2nd time (wierd but good) but i can clutch up on wet roads on my mrs's fazer 600

 

Hey matey.

Like on the video, not every attempt resulted in a wheelie, and im not putting you down man, you were great and i would of broke my neck without your help

Remember we talked about not being able clutch it up quick from a standstill & slowly, thats what im struggling to understand why?

I checked my psi and its at 25 so im going to try 10psi tomorrow, to see if that gives me the grip to get the nose up quick.

And im not arguing that i **** myself when it comes close to BP

 

like i said was tryin staggered which is new to me


it's all practice imo

This is Tee1style's vid, look how quick and easy he gets the nose straight up, I recon we were doing 20mph+ before the nose could get anywhere near bp (not that I got near bp).

Yeah i know this guys got the skills but ive been trying everything to do that, I should of had 1 successfull attempt by now.

So i recon their must be something thats different with the bike.

 

honestly practise some more. then when you done that practise more . liftin it straight up to balance will take a bit of time.

why spend money until it offers you a significant advantahe that you can actually use.
you can't run before walkin.

i'm just about crawlin so you are still a baby on the floor cryin an shittin (no offense meant). all these people you see lift the bike up to bp and make it look easy have done it a lot more than you or i so stick with it and just be patient as when you do finally get it all you' be much happier and more experienced allowing you to progress better later.

 

As said in t'other thread (I can't keep up now, its like 4 threads) if it was easy... everyone would be doing it and stunting wouldn't be cool.....

anyways, thats last im saying on this whole subject............ go practice

 

yep

Goodnight chaps

 

Ant,

What you're missing is that timmy is on a blade with big gearing. What's he's actually doing is clutching it up beyond BP and catching it with the rear brake. This is really hard to do at the minute, what i was trying to get you to do the other week was get used to the whole feeling of lifting the front wheel comfortably, and in control.

Gearing is like pulleys and stuff at school, big sprocket = less imput but mith more resulting force. ie high revs, through bigger gearing = splat (if you're not careful)

Just take it easy, especially if you're riding on your own.

Hope it all helps, and the key really is practice. This 'sport' takes dedication

 

Hey Carl, i really appreciate the help you and birdie gave me the other day, please don't think that because im asking these questions im disrespecting your advice, im not. But im positive ive got a traction problem.

Im not on the bike today so i cant have a go at trying 10psi, but i hope that will help.

I cant check that vid out at work mate, firewall but i will read that article

ps, do you want order a oil pickup with me, save on the shipping? (unless Pez can sort something).

 

Ant,

The fact that you're asking questions is good, it means you want to learn.

The point that you're missing is this takes practice, and i'm not talking about a couple of hours, i'm talking days, weeks, months.

I can lift the front wheel on my bike on standard pressure. i did the same with yours even before we dropped the pressures down.

You need to commit your mind to wheelieing (sp?) and go for it.

I found it very easy to find excuses and talk big when i started, i only realise now how crap my early attempts were, and how much time and effort is needed to improve.

The best advise i can give you is practice, and keep at it. This stuff takes time for your brain to work out, but when it clicks you'll start getting the hang of it.

When i was out with you i was no where near BP, but was starting to hold further distances (under power, therefore not at BP) all that on standard pressure and standard gearing.

Your bike as standard is more than capable of wheelieing and holding balance without any other aids, its your technique that needs work, not the bike

i don't wanna seem like i'm bashing your enthusiasm, cos i'm really not trying to. i just don't wanna find out you got hurt from trying some stuff too soon.

How often do you ride ordinarily on the roads?

 

Ive been riding each dry day and stunt practicing at lunch, this morning was a wash out though, bad decision cos its lovely now.

My burnout's are getting allot better, clutch control has greatly improved since last week, but the wheelies are just as bad.

Anyway, let me try the 10psi asap and I will get back to ya.

DST is coming up from birmingham this sunday, another gixxer boy.

 

we'd come down but it's mothersday , so no go for us

Do you just go out for a ride?

 

No, i ride to work each day if its dry, and once or twice a week I do the trip to where I was born in cheshire to see family & old friends, 18 miles each way.

After work last night i scrapped a 4x4 with the left nylon slidder filtering through traffic, that will teach them to be so wide. So I bought a propper bolts with butterflys so i can take them on & off easy.

Mothersday, oh yeah, better get my mum something
