Default Cant steer wheelies

I've been trying to steer wheelies for a while now. I know i put a post up a while ago but i just cant do it. I've tried putting more weight on the other peg. Ive shifted my weight to one side as much as i can, even leanin past the side of the bike. Any other suggestions? Tire psi is at 28. Think it could be too high? I wouldnt think so.

Are you at BP, or really close? I found its really hard to steer unless at BP. From there I put more weight on whichever peg I want to steer towards, or if I need to move lots I'll lean and throw *** to that side to.

I was out last night really trying to practice steering. I did it a couple times when I was up really high, so i guess your right. The farther back i had it the easier it was. Just gotta practice

the closer you are on the bp or behind it the more it reacts to you leaning it, so keep your foot on the brake and lean with it...fyi the bp on a 600rr is pretty high up there so practice workin the brake in a parking lot and steering that way

Use the handlebars, same as when you're on two wheels. As long as the front wheel is spinning, you'll get the same gyroscopic effectfrom countersteering and it will lean you into the turn.
