Re: problems with stoppies...
i learned to stoppie on a 500lb yzf600 with a completely bald front tire with about 8k miles on. now i can make anything stick. just dont panic when it locks up and u'll be fine, o and do it on a warm day, anything below 50 makes it more difficult to get traction

shift your weight a lil bounce off your pegs helps also compress the forks before you bring up the back wheel or maybe even adjust the forks the lil slotted adjustment at the top you can play with i got mine set about 7 clicks out... warm the tire up before you try and watch out for oil and coolant espeasially comming up to traffic lights

lower the tire PSI , i think 28-30 PSI is great to learn, 30 will be good for street and for stunting . or you can do what my guy does ,the balder the tire get ,the lesser the psi he runs he says it works great for him

No doubt MasterShake, I run 208GP's (takeoffs) and the front grips all the time, maybe in the past few months I've had it lock up twice (That's after heatin' em up for a good 5-10 minutes before though).
