I cant seem to find the balance with the front braking

kawasakifan700 · 01-14-2007, 06:06 PM

you mean a stoppie (aka endo). All i know is it helps if you use street tires. It also depends on what bike you have?

jmsmilin · 01-14-2007, 06:16 PM

yeah a stoppie, my friend has a GSXR and he calls it a "brake-a-wheelie" I have a 96 z50r with trail tires...

tighten the hell outa your brakes. the balance point is so small that your gonna flip a bunch tryin to learn them. big bars help

AcXr50 · 01-14-2007, 10:48 PM

aww man the number of times I flipped. Im not so good at em but practice goddammit!

I must be fortunate...I learned how to do them without wreking at all...
was doing them up and down approaches from the side to get used to uneven ground....

I did wreck going 5mph showing off of course..but I already knew hoe to do them...I would just get going good in 3rd and kinda lean forward and grab a hand full of brake...when it comes up let off a little and then pulsate to keep it going.....then after you get used to it start leaning one direction when your coming to a stop and pretty soon you'll be able to do a 180 at the end of your stoppie....

seat bounce it right before you get on the brakes. you need a lot of speed if you wanna roll them far.

xr1million · 01-16-2007, 05:13 PM

go wide open in 3rd, throw yourself forward over the bars and jack on the front brake at the same time. The gyro effect from the muffler bearings will keep you from going past the balance point. If you do end up over rotating then then its time to replace the bearings... they are relatively
inexpensive and will really free up some hp.

i am afraid he is going to try that and blame it on the muffler bearings, hehe

xr1million · 01-16-2007, 05:25 PM

shhh!!! New bearing can be obtained locally, ony auto or motorcycle supplier should have them in stock, all 50s and 110s use 7/8" .

Now that is funny.

If you want to do rolling stoppies just get up a bunch of speed and grab a good amount of front brake. Let most of the brake free once the rear wheel comes up. Once you roll a stoppie it will become a lot easier from then on.

If this doesn't work for you go back to fixing the muffler bearings.

Gixxer601 · 01-16-2007, 06:13 PM

it is not a good idea to top out third and grab a handfull of brake. these guys are tryin to kill you. get going in the top of second and try em there till you can roll about 20 feet then step it up

superboy15 · 01-16-2007, 07:12 PM

dont bother your not the er boys hehe

superboy15 · 01-16-2007, 07:13 PM

damn, all this time I was going on what someone else told me...that I needed to add more blinker fluid, thanks man!

slapaho16 · 01-17-2007, 12:21 AM

it also may help to buy a can of compression you can get it at any local parts house usually 2 to 4 dollars

ffRich · 01-18-2007, 01:52 PM

Also helps if you use the blue & red power bands.....

holeshot-kid · 01-18-2007, 03:02 PM

and clean the kanuder valve while your at it! With all that stuff you should be stoppyin like crazy! You'll get all the chicks!

Your All Wrong, You Need A Stiffer Piston Return Spring!

ryde307 · 01-18-2007, 04:05 PM

It only works if you have the right tools to install all that stuff most of it requires a metric cresent wrench which home depot just started to carry.
