Can you clutch it up normally?
For stand ups I clutch it up sitting down.
I then stand up.
If I'm using the left pillion peg I will usually clutch it up with my foot already on it, however I do sometimes start with my left foot on the rider footpegs if I want to change gear, then move my foot back to the pillion peg, then stand up.
Do try and keep your weight back wen doing them; as if you were pusing the bike away from you, otherwise the balance point gets stupidly high. Even holding the bike away from me like this I still found that I was pretty damn high on the TRX often!
Annoyingly the TRX doesn't seem to like balance point wheelies when sitting down as it gets a side to side wobble on before you can get high enough.
Some of my attempts:

I did sort out doing proper balance points ones, but unfortunately the camera battery died so didn't get most of my decent ones. I'm on the TRX850 - also me on the zx9, but it wasn't running to well with year old petrol, so couldn't do anything decent. |
