will loosening up the rear suspension help me any? i bought the bike from a fatass, and it is stif as ****!!

 

leave the suspension alone, adjust the rider, not the bike, but learn slow dont rush

 

allright, i practiced some today, and i found BP in first and can ride it smooth through 3rd pretty comfy... but i still can't consistently get it up in second.. kinda frustrating

 

if youre shifting gears you arent at balance point, hence the term balance point, not "shift to the next gear point"

 

good point. i need to grow bigger ***** and work on throttle control too

 

Hey, if you are still trying to learn on clutching up the wheelie, practice doing it in first gear first - but listen, you dont have to give it much gas at all to get it up.

The best way I learned how to was to hold the clutch in with your index finger, act like you are accelerating and allow the bike to rev up a little, and just let the clutch out quickly, without dumping it. It feels weird at first, but trust me, after you figure out how to do it like that, you may not go back to power wheelies and bouncing it to get it up there.

If you feel like you are about to loop it, just chop the throttle. If you are doing it in first, the engine will bring you back to the ground quickly.

 

thanks

 

i've been practicing it in first, but my bike tends tobreak the tire loosewhen i do, and when i do it in second, i guess i don't have the rpms up enough, bc it doesn't want to stand up...

 

just work at it, learn 2nd because balance point in first is really really high if youre tryin to slow walk it

 

What kind of tire u have on that 900? I have a 1000 with maybe a few more ponies I never brake loose doin wheelies.
