Hey guys. Before I catch any crap, I have already done a search and can't find any good info on standups. I have a 954 and every time I try a standup, it feels really weird. I've tried staggered on the pegs, I've tried standing after I've gotten the front wheel off the ground. I'm 6'4" so I don't know if thats why it feels so weird being so hi up on the bike. When I try staggered on the pegs and try clutching the bike up it feels like I'm gonna get ripped right off the bike or the bars start going left to right really fast. Any info would be great.
Thanks

OK i am not a good teacher i can tell you that, heck not even great at wheelies heh. For myself i just start to stand up, slip the clutch and give a little pull on the bars. It can feel like you are going to fall off the back, just keep them to a couple feet high till you get used to the feeling, then bring it up higher a little at a time. Keep the back brake covered also. I crashed mine the other day (not stunting) but borrowed my buddies R1 today for a bit after work, just really needed to ride. The wife took a few crappy vids, but i have a couple of me bringin it up, put it in slow mo, maybe it will help. His clutch is kinda messed up, so i did not clutch these, however i would recomend clutching. I am 6'2" for what its worth. http://s131.photobucket.com/albums/p318/TK954rr/?action=view¤t=bringinitup.flv

I wouldn't pull on the bars, it can lead to the bike doing some really strange stuff. Just stand up with your knees a bit bent, then kind of "bounce" the bike using your legs. when the suspension is rebounding, clutch it up and it should come right up. I'm really bad at explaining things, but hope this helps.

Well then, I must be terrible at them! I am nowhere near as good.

Onarom believe me, what i can do compared to what a lot of real stunters can do is not even in the same league.

I know- I don't have the courage to even try to get to their level (nor the money to be replacing bike parts), so you will NEVER see me doing a hi-chair. But I would like to get comfortable enough to get to the balancing point. I am just too afraid of going too far and crashing, so I keep my wheelies at the point that I need to keep accelerating in order to hold them.
