just learn to ease it down a little more. be careful with the front its a pain in the ass to replace the front forks if you bend em or break the seal

Roll on... Roll off, and it should come down smooth.  Real bad for the forks though.

I think you and me both should be clutching it up instead... I''m trying to quit doing power wheelies but in second gear standing up it''s so tempting

Why don''t ya ease up there killer.  You can''t even land a first gear power wheelie and you''re prepping for a stand-up in 2nd?  My name may be shoortbuss, but you take the cake my friend.  Learn how to put your bike back down...or how to hold it up a little before you go gettin all crazy in 2nd.  And if you''re gonna try pickin ''er up in 2nd, do it like a man and clutch it.

ahhh i still cant clutch. i think there may be something wrong with my back pressure or something cuz it wont do more than jolt and i try it all different ways... either that or i need to take that cake short, cuz i just cant do a dam clutch..


i think i want to borrow a friend''s cbr for a ride and see if i cant do it, that way i know if its me or my bike.
