Re: trying to 12 need any advice....

stand staggered (left foot on passenger peg) and turn your idle up to around 3k. besides that just practice. you can have someone tell you all kinds of **** but it aint gonna make a difference without seat time

PM me mang. if you got a spot i can show you how to 12....

its alllllll mental... because at first once you start going past 10 o'clock your just like, oh ****, its going back to far. lol

but yea turn your idel up to around 3K and that will make it a little smoother on the throttle control. and just use to the back brake (im guessin you already know how to work it fairly well if you can slow down to 5 or 10 mph)

Re: trying to 12 need any advice....

umm looking at t sky doesn't help me at all, here's what ta do, #1 70+ sprocket to learn on is a little extreme, it's going to make **** harder before it gets easier, pull it up at like 15mph, and be on the rear brake, keep steady pressure, make tiny throttle adjustments once u get to bp, and what i do is just watch the speedo, and give it more gas slowly, until u see the mph start to drop, that's how to learn to slow it down, then just learn to work the brake on and off, and u'll be fine, get comfortable behind bp
