ARARARARARR Cant for the life of me slow down Evil or Very Mad

really annoying the f**k out of me.

Standing 2 feet forward i can easy do 2nd gear -> 3rd gear wheelying, but i just cant stop accelrating Crying or Very sad

Only way i can get past the bp is up hill (or right high revs in 2nd) Question

and then i every so often slow down the wheelie and its class Thumbs Up

Even trying to coast, but because my clutch is W**k it doesn't disengage fully, and i came down HARD!!

Any idea, 1st gear revs too fast very choppy with engin braking, 2nd gear clutch wont pull me up past bp till towards the end of the gear for some reson.

(ps not a person who gives up, please help before i loop lol)

probly would help if i wernt on the slight nackerd klr with iffy power Shocked

Wont sitting down help the balance point a bit more becasue you can lean back?
As standing up dont you have more weight over the front of the wheel?

i feel allot more in control standing, and can bounce her up in 2nd then. BTW, i stand with one foot of passenger peg normally (unless i am trying to change gear Wink

)

sitting, i have to power up in 1st and change into 2nd, quickly (not a problem) but then i cack my self when it goes tooo far Embarassed

Gah, better than me, bastard.

I still have only a very few times properly got it to the balance point Sad

. Never got it past and kept it there with the brake. Have had some moments where I've got it down with the power and two where I haven't.

If you find the magic soloution, please feel free to share Smile

.

Have tried to ask similar questions on stunt life, but didn't get many answers of interest.

Haven't had a bike I can wheelie for ages as well Sad

i just kept getting SLIGHTLY harder and harder on the throttle until I reached the feeling of falling backwards, from then on I practised feathering the rear brake until not having to use the rear at all. It has become a case of throttle on raise the front , throttle off lower the front, hold it steady for long wheelies. i also find stand up wheelies more secure, dont know why???

i dont realy need the rear brake atm, i can go easy past and use the engine braking or the rear brake to bring it back.

Might arse and make a proper 12 bar, and see what body part i can break this week up the track Thumbs Up

Theres a great huge!!! hill on the way back from teh track nad last week i managed to knock of 10 mph, on the way up it, but perhaps that was becuase i was going up hill?

I think rear brake truely should be saved for a rear emergency! touching that rear brake when poping a wheelie will have it crunch back down again.

I think realisitcally for control it has to be done with leaning.
Get it up leaning right back, lean forwards to stop it coming up, and use your own balance to keep it up rather than the throttle.
i think if in doubt, go for the higher gear, back the throttle off till your no longer having to acclorate harshly to keep it up, leaning back to keep it up.
