Circle Masterz ???
Can one or some of you Circle Masterz help me out here...
I have watched many of vid clips of guys doing circles....But I have a few questions...
I am a bit ahead if myself here...but what the hell...
Standup circles only.....
When starting to turn the bike are you pulling in the clutch, once it is turned letting it back out to give you a bit of drive ?
Are you putting more pressure on one foot peg or the other....
Which way is the easier to learn...right or left...Or does it matter.. ??
How about a quick walk thru of getting that first turn down....Not to interested in multiple circles yet but would luv to start working on getting at least a 180 on lockdown....
Figure I start there and move on...
Cheers

Re: Circle Masterz ???
Listen to the sound of the engine!! The next time you watch the clips.
And if your right handed try um on the right side.
I'm no "circle master" but given enough room I can spin the the "BIG K KUTTER".
Congrats on Parking the twelve.

Re: Circle Masterz ???
I don't know circles or have any experience with them, but what i've seen I concluded that if you are right handed you should try go to the left, anti-clockwise. Put your left foot on front peg, and right foot on rear peg. This is just my feeling and understanding of it - my point of view. Please don't flamme on me cuz I said I have no experience or knowledge of circles but am giving advices.

Re: Circle Masterz ???
Can we get some mods to start deleting these posts? Not to be a dick but if you don't have experience with a question asked WHY THE HELL ARE YOU TRYING TO ANSWER IT?!?!?! A question with ZERO replies is WAY better than a question asked with replies full of wrong or misleading info that totals some poor guys bike or worse... ****ing think.

Re: Circle Masterz ???
here's some info. off our site by BIG BALLA himself!! lol
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
watch this video
http://motopsychoz.com/vids/mark/MarkCircles_DialUp.wmv
dont start with your foot in the seat, start with it on the pass. peg or the bar. trust me, when you start to cut fast, you will thank me for saving your nutz.
------------
now, for my next trick i will tell all that i know about circles
-brake = tighter circles
-too much brake when balanced = balance stall, lean and throttle to recover
-too much brake not balanced = mousetrap, brake stall
-less brake = fast circles, possibly highside
-not enough brake = highside, brake and engage clutch to recover
-clutch = smooth circles
-too much clutch balanced = sslllllloooooowwww cirlces
-too much clutch not balanced = scrape, drop wheelie, feather clutch out to recover
not enough clutch = engine stall, choppy cirlces, feather clutch in
-throttle = increase or decrease for faster or slower cirlces
-higher the idle the less the throttle work
the most important thing is seat time, it will take as long if not longer than to learn slow wheelies
i recomend learning them to the left and right, standing and sitting foot in the bar peg seat and both feet in the seat if you have the equip.
later

Re: Circle Masterz ???
O's to the left give you a better chance to bail without having to throw the bike away...u can just hop off to the side.
I learned just running on idle at 2500 (+18). I still don't use the clutch or gas...some use both.
Keith seems to have the book on O's..good info.

I'm about to sell my KLR this week, if it sells I'm getting the KTM 640 Adventure or mabye I'll go with the Buell Lightning. I'm thinking about making the switch to the streety class, so I think the Buell is a good choice.
What do you think about the Buell?
Hey mabye I'll fly up there for a weekend, met some new stuntas up there, Freeport is a much better place for breaking in the new engine anyways .
And look stop being soo uptight, you know I'm only shootin **** with ya my nigg. Like I told you before I'm a wheelie ***, I hate all that other BS
