Default Learning Idle

Probably only a couple on here that can help me out. But for some reason slow wheelies just clicked yesterday. From a stop, clutched it up standing staggered and rode 5-10mph for a couple hundred feet. Anyway, how much different is it trying to learn how to slow wheelie using idle turned up? Right now i just clutch it up and hold the throttle steady and use nothing but brake to control it.

I wanted to try and scrape so bad but i know my exhaust will hit first and didnt feel like going down so that pipe is getting cut down soon...

Cool, I can't wait until I have some cash to get a cage and then I'm going to try to learn idle. What bar do you have if any? I'm planning on getting the sick innovations round bar before I try to scrape, but thats just me, I don't want to bust my tail all up but if I do I won't be too pissed LOL I wish I could give you some pointers, but I have a ways to go before I get there.

ok first question are you geared up? my stunter is up 15 in the rear. the more you are up the less idle you need. for learning slow wheelies i would turn the idle up to around 3500. then you can concentrate on mastering the rear brake. make sure you have your brake control perfect before you start scraping. if you are in control go for a scrape. start slow. the exhaust wont throw you unless you hit it hard. you can scrape it light and have no problems.

here is the proof

and chack out my myspace for a badass exhaust that i have

catching idle isn't bad once you have brake control then you just have to get used to the feeling of the bike falling back and then you just barely tap the brake to catch it. Your gearing should be perfect to learn on also. Any bigger and it will be really twitchy
