Was struggling on dry surface, then did them on wet, and next dry day it transferred straight over immediately. Also i find it easier to be rolling a few miles an hr then break the tire loose rather then coming to a complete stop then breaking it. rolling a bit helped keep me steady from falling to one side. Talk to ZeusR6 on here hes doing a deal on chain and sprockets. And vortexracing.com has a calculator thing. Just select your bike then go to chain and sprockets.

Thanks for the tips!

That's a good idea hitting the brake every time I pop it up. Right now I'm using very little brake if any at all and I know it will bite me in the end. The problem is the brake seems so low, but I guess I just need to get used to it. Next time I will try doing them from more of a stop and balancing more, too. I didn't realize how fast I was starting some of them until watching the video.

For some reason I never really use enough gas. I was getting better at it towards the end but there was some mental block I was sort of aware of... I guess I just need to get used to it. It seemed like the engine was screaming but it was only at like 7k. I think it's because I'm used to my single cylinder dirtbike. I think I have a good start on the throttle and clutch movement because I have no problems doing it on my dirtbike, I just need to get the right amount of each for this bike.
