help with idle wheelies

[SIC J]

guy in the white shirt, just isnt getting the bike up high enough. but body positioning looks fine.

the other 2 looks like youre trying to lean back too far and trying to hold the bike up with your arms. what it looks like to me is because youre trying to hold the bike up with your arms, as it gets slower, youre pulling harder with one arm than the other switch causes it to go left or right. RELAX! and bring the bike up a lil higher.

so ur saying im leaning bak to far and should not lean bak as far and bring bike even higher

[SIC J]

pretty much. theres no need to be leaning back that far. youre puttin your body in an awkward postion and trying to use your body leverage to be at balance point.

i did the same thing when i first started. once i changed that, it got a whole lot easier.

I first learned like 5 years ago at like 16psi. once i got it down on lock (3 days later), i started bumping it up a lil bit. i run anywhere from 26-32 now depending on what im doing

I was like that with circles, one day I'd do em real good, then the next I couldnt do them at all, then I'd be fine with them the third day

just ride, ride, and ride somemore. i had been riding a while trying to get that on lock and one day it just came. that was in 2nd cause my tranny was messed up. when i got my new motor a few days ago i thought that it would take me a while to get use to the torque and what not but got it right off. it will come in time.
