Advanced bike handling manoevers?
I gave some sit downs today a quick go was sitting at about 20 k's and then pull the clutch in rev till about 8 then dump the clutch. Started off doing very small ones but gradually got them a bit higher and longer. Still feels weird though if I get a really high one a panic a lil and chop the throttle which probably isnt to nice for the suspension. but slowly getting used to the feeling of the wheel lifting and accelerating on the way down to smoothen it out..
How bad is this for your clutch by the way? Should I give the clutch a rest period after awhile?
It's quite hard to explain what I want to convey in writing, but here goes.
Clutching it up is the way to go, but don't pull the clutch in so it disengages completely. Roll the throttle on like you want to accelerate away, and dip the clutch just a little bit to get a rev jump.
Jason (gohstrider) can launch the wheel as you're trying to do, but it takes HEAPS of control.
What you're searching for a the oh so sweet sound, of the revs jumping about 2000rpm. Resulting in a controlled rise from the front wheel. Would love to come out and show you the little bit I know, but it's just not on the cards in the near future with my schedule.
Cheers for that will try that technique out next week.. I guess you will be going faster but the rise of the front wheel will be much more predictable which will be cool.
All good man would be sweet to head out with you guys at some point. Is always easier to learn when you got someone who knows the ways!
Can't wait for next week
Damnnnn
These cages don't look that hard to make. If you have trouble getting one imported give us a yell and I might be able to help you Tig Weld something custom up
Why'd you'd fuck your road bike is beyond me, (and you will fuck it, regardless of adding a cage)
Just buy this thing and keep your ZX6 as a nice road bike http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/List...x?id=590796453
