i'm having no problem gettin the bike up to at least 10 or 11 o'clock but a pastchildhood issue wit a dirtbike (i fell doin a wheelie) has my confidence down tryin to ride this wheelie out on my street bike.. i do it in second cuz i'm scared of first. how much would it acatually take (rpm/gas) for me to fall backwards in second. i wanna lean form all of ur mistakes rather then my own

 

to answer your question about how much it would actually take (rpm/gas) to loop the bike, that really depends on how fast your going....

but to build your confidence back up to where it should be, start small, just get the wheel a foot of the ground, then maybe a foot and a half, and work your way up to bp, just cover the rear brake incase you do start to go over, then you can just hit the brake and she'll come back down

 

Like Vol said its really hard to judge by speed and rpm*s etc. One of the best ways is to video tape yourself, then you can just how high/low you are. I know when i was learning i thought i was getting pretty high, then i did some video. I was shocked at how high i really wasnt LOL.

For me on my bike a general rule is this. If i can see over my windscreen not nearly high enough. If im looking straight at my gauges, im almost there. When im looking at my gas cap, im there. (thats all roughly of course).

 

yea thanks guys i see wat both of u r saying. wen i go up i feel like i jus have a lot running thru my mind and concentrating on more then one thing is an overload..do u think i should try n physically stand up myself when i feel i've felt the bike has reached a certin point?

 

I am going to say no. IMO you dont want to add anything more than what you are already trying to do. I would also say you dont want to get used to doing bad habits. I would stick to either doing sit downs, or standups. Dont worry about trying to switch from one to the other.

^HAhah, what are you doing in stunters section???

 

thanx TK although i'm tempted to put down the back pegs and try it like that but i think i'l take ur advise and hold off
