\r\n \r\n The trick is that at some point you are going to have to hit the gas again, and the even bigger trick is that your going to have to do it at a point in the circle where it feels like you are going to crash if you give it more gas... This is especially true if you are squashing out all the momentum of the circle with the rear brake like most people do.
\n
\nNow there is the very small possibility that you will figure out idle circles without having to give it gas but that is unlikely, especially considering the fact that you are learning staggered circles.
\n
\nMy advice is... Forget staggered circles and learn SS circles to the left.\r\n

\r\n \r\n I\'m gonna get back out there today, everyday as always and keep at it. The thing that is happening for me is I\'m at bp, give it gas and it goes behind bp and wants to highside. I just don\'t get how I\'m supposed to keep it wanting to lean in like that.I\'m not afraid to gas it, infact I get through more of a circle when I don\'t gas it. Maybe I\'m goin into the circle too slow for the angle I\'m trying to achieve?\r\n

\r\n \r\n im with joker on this, ss all the way, it lets you stand up rather than forcing you to lean back, so you have a better perspective of where you are in relation to bp and plain old lets you see better, but dont get in the habit of leaning into the circle with your body rather than your bike, try to stay in line. i dont know about anyone else, but out of high side fear i wouldnt keep it behind bp and then by the second loop i would start chasing the circle ironically causing the occasional highside. so go in as slow as possible and initialize the circle behind bp\r\n
