stoppie question hey guys just had a stoppie question.
when first doing stoppies is it best to stay sitting and just lean forward a bit or stand up and try it. I know that it is all in what feels the best but i thought i would get some input before i try anything fast or tall. any input at all would be great, oh and if it helps its a 05 z1000 that im riding.
thanks, Matt

Re: stoppie question
ok so i do need to be off the seat a bit, thats pretty much what i needed to know. makes me a bit nervouse for the simple fact that i just got this bike and i dont want to crash it. so i try to do it at low speed.

Re: stoppie question
This is what i do: 1) Get up some speed 2) make sure the road is clear (no dirt or wet ****) 3) Lean forward 4) Give the bike a little bounce on the rear end and pull in the brake, Hard and Fast (aye lewis)

Re: stoppie question
ive seen plenty of ppl roll them with their *** almost a foot off the seat. i always had my *** planted. i think it has to do with how tall you are which will affect the center of gravity. post pics of your form so we can critique you!
