well, u better!!! ...just take ur finger of before u pop it up.

if u come down while ur on the front brakes, ur gonna eat it...real bad!

also, if u think ur gonna eat **** on ur 1k, get a fiddy and practice on that.

but if u take baby steps, NOT push urself, and cover the back brake, u should be fine....btw, lean back and straighten out ur arms.

 

thanks for the input. really appreciate it.
ill be trying this week. thanks

 

Doesnt your 1000 have a steering stabilizer on it. Im pretty sure they come factory.

 

ya but it only kicks in at high speeds.

 

What use is that if it only kicks in at high speeds...What a piece of junk

 

uhhh... its designed for racing dude.... the faster you go the more damping is needed. Its the only (was the only) electronic steering stabilizer. HESD. Its actually regarded as being very nice and refined. It doesnt just kick on at high speeds. It ramps up the faster you go.

 

well I follwed a few tips and today I was in second doin 50,
clutch it up and the bike stood right up. Its funny dough I can only bring it up in second
at about 50 below fifty can really bring it up.

Is it because below 50mph I should be doin it in first?

 

ive done that too. haha you feel every bump, crack and dip in the road.....sux

 

I assume you are talking about sitdowns yet ? I have a 954 so not quite the same bike as you, but im down 1 tooth in the front also so i would think we are similar. Anyhow i can clutch mine up anywhere from 3k rpm's to 10k rpm's sitting in 2nd gear. 50mph for me would be roughly 5k rpm's and thats a pretty sweet spot, 4-6 k is ideal for my bike, so if you drop speed you may be getting to a tougher spot in your powerband, if you do slow down you can always try loading the front end quick to help. Just keep practicing though it will come.

 

yepp

..so it wasn't the wind
