Another 12 O'clock question Hey guys I ride a 929 with -1 down and 13 up. Im learning and getting use to the twitchyness of the bike. I feel more comfortable doing standups then sitdowns, which do you guys think is a better way to learn 12 O'clocks? Also about the rear brake should I put a slight pressure on it as the bike comes up or just get it up and then catch it with the brake. Any suggestions about how much more oil should I add as well.
Thanks for all the info you guys can give me.

Re: Another 12 O'clock question
first off cut ur tilt sensor, or the bike will stall on the bar. then practice clutchin up with ur left foot back on the passenger peg, and use slight pressure on the brake for learning. also the first time u go out and preactice all u shud do is cluthc up and nail the brake, even if ur not high enuff. cuz u need to get ur panic reflex to be the brake.
