Stunt questions

Hi guys, I have searched before but couldn't find exactly what I'm looking for.

Do most of you put the bike in nutral when doing stoppies or do you just hold the clutch in?

For those that do standing wheelies from roll on. Do you prefer doing them in first or second? I think it's hard doing a gear change when standing if your left leg is on the left lever and not the pillion's.

Cheers.

I don't think Mr Fire eyes here is in the uk, so the gears will be on the right methinkles. By the way, i used to have the nickname fire eyes on account of some colourful contact lenses i purchased Thumbs Up

By the way, it's not really right or wrong to hold clutch in or not when stoppying.. all you gotta do is have the clutch in when you come to a stop, even if you're still going at some speed when you put it down...

You don't need the clutch in when stoppying, you don't not need it in either.. so it's really whatever you want to do.. just remember to grab it before the wheel goes down Wink

And stand ups, just do whatevers best for your bike and skill level, there is no right or wrong in "what gear" just do whatevers best. 1st can be a bit choppy though, I'd reccomend 2nd Wink

Cheers guys, about putting my leg on the pillion pegs what I meant was do I put my leg on the pillion leg n take it up in 2nd, or do I keep my leg on the riders peg so as I lift it up in first I upshift, just to show you I'm not stupid Wink

. Thanks for the input everyone!
