Lower your air pressure to about 15 pounds.

Air presure does not have to do that mutch. Its all u how u position ur self. Dont shift ur weight from one side to another and ull be good.

..but tire pressure does matter.

A rear with 20psi WON't want to steer like one with 40psi.

Practice with 20psi and then bring it up as you learn how to steer your standups.

Lowering your air pressure will make it easier but it's not necessary. Keep your knees bent slightly and position your body according to where you're leaning. If your bike leans left, turn your bars left and lean your body right. Turning your bars allows you to get over further to straighten the bike back, just make sure to straighten em before you bring it down! Tank slapping is not fun, trust me. Good luck with em, keep your gear on.

Being smooth on the throttle will also keep the bike from wanting to move around on ya

hit the nail on the head.......lower pressure is for learning slow wheelies...lower pressure on the streets will give you a wobble and be hard to steer....i learned some stuff on 12 lbs of air in the rear but now i run about 30 lbs all the time, streets or lots...it will end up goin to 35-40 when i get better

balance, ive never had an issue and i run 35 psi all the time. Imo as stated it makes it much more difficult at low speeds, but above say 40mph you should not notice. If your having that much of a problem its likely your balance, rear wheel alignment, or your not high enough.

Will that also help the tire bite? Ive been also trying to learn a bit and at times I have some wheel spin.
