Still cant steer them
I've been trying to steer wheelies for about 2-3 months now and i still cant get it. The bike is at balance point, sometimes even farther back. I cannot steer these things for my life. It is the only thing keeping me from doing them for miles. Anyone have any other advice? And I dont wanna hear practice, cause i practice the hell out of them. I'm talking 3rd gear standups, highway speeds

RE: Still cant steer them
hmmm, increase ur tire pressure.
the lower the psi, the harder it will be to turn, thus, easier to keep straight.
but assuming u have stock sprocket, at 3rd gear speed, higher tire pressure will also make the wheelie feel alot smoother.
u prolly know this, but the higher you are the easier it will be to turn.
p.s. if you increase ur tire pressure to stock, prolly 42psi, and still can't steer them, you are NOT high enough.

Try what Dirtytoes recommended, he knows his ****.

lol
lower psi is only good for parkin lot ****
if i'm doin anything above 20mph, i keep it at 42psi.
the only time i drop it (12psi), is for idle, and under 20mph wheelies.
so pump it up to 42psi, and go do a couple of fast runs, if you still can't keep it staight by shifting ur weight peg2peg, u are NOT high enough.
