Also..on the balance issue sometimes i got problems going side to side...it goes the way i lean but feels sketchy some times the bike comes down at an angle..i've got speed wobble a few times.

you just feel when your in bp...weightless feeling...and you can definately hear by the engine going down on rpms and being consistent...

i thought i needed pics and was posting pics and asking if it is high enough. its just a thing that new people do i guess, i have brake control and can bp forever basically. I learned on my dirtbike, but on my big bike i was always scared of looping. If you can get ahold of a dirtbike of 4 wheeler and practice on that alittle and youll get the hang of it faster, but if you cant, just like bruno said youll hear the engine. it will sound unloaded, as though you are just cruising around not accelerating. the weightless thing is pretty scary at first but youll get the hang of it. also a go practice that i found was to be stopped and clutched it up then smash the brake, and bring it back alittle farther each time. youll just be poppin it up and first but then once you get the hang of just poppin it up then try to ride it alittle and then hit the brake. trust in the brake is key. when im riding a wheelie i was surprised at how it is second nature now, i dont think about it, i just use the brake.

Wheeliest

you will slow down like crazy before u hit the tail..

-SKETCHY-

The Side To Side Wobbles Is From Poor Throttle Control.stay Smooth On The Throttle And That Will Help. And Practice

pics don't help at all, it's all feel.

well dudei can hold it on a 4 wheeler all day..im just wondering on a sportbike...cuz i dont wanna scrape my tail and have it throw me off to the side you know? in a staggard standup where is the bp? can you send me a pic or something?

YellowGixxer

yea... i've been having to practice alone...i odnt like it but its fun... none the less

Sparks!

Best advice is to get some pictures of yourself... always shows that you're not as high as you think, or body positioning may be wrong etc.. I try to get pics of me as often as possible and back when I had my KTM I improved very quickly by taking it slow, keeping smooth and getting lots of pictures... same with my f4i.. I've only been riding since friday, been out twice only due to rain and improved loads just from getting pictures and seeing that I'm not as high as it feels etc.. it's all about getting used to it.. pictures of other people won't help that much, pictures of you will though.

it's like everyone says, you know when you're in BP, you don't have to confirm it witha picture or anything like that. the bike either slows down or just stops accelerating when you're there. just keep practicing and you'll see. you might be getting it for a second or two now and you kinda see what it feels like so just try to keep it there.
your bike has a high bp, it's the same one I ride. you won't scrape tail or loop if you're steadily bringing the front higher and farther back.

Yea...im gettin it moreand more..my tail got like 7 inches from the ground my buddy says but the wind is blowing 30mph so i couldnt keep it up very long..hahaha

KF_Chris

if that's true, then you're way past bp.

bruno_z

well I guess your buddy should go visit an oculist...lol

YellowGixxer

well it doesnt seem to want to stay up when i get it up there maybe it was the wind..or mayb ei let out of the throttle

I'd suggest going much slower, or scraping a tail is gonna be very costly.
