my front tire did that a few times too. and the more i tryed the less confidence i got cause i couldnt pick them up anymore. ur tires not all the way warmed up and its prolly in ur head now like it was in mine. i got a metzler new front and the thing stops like crazy.
Stoppies
Okay...I told myself I'd never trick my bike but as of a week ago I've been trying to slowly and safely try wheelies and stopies...
My stopies....as of yesterday I was getting real good and gaining some confidence in my stopies. I was getting my back wheel up about 12 inches or so...I think. Anyway today I tried to do a stoppie and my front wheel is skidding instead of sticking to the road...and I almost had to ditch my bike. My bike is doing this consistantly now and i dont have ANY confidence in doing stoppies at all now because my front wheele is skidding. Anyone know why this is happening?
My wheelies....I'm starting of with 1st gear wheelies...I'm starting at about 15 mph and pulling the clutch in and reving to about 7500-8000 rpm and letting the clutch go....I can get the wheel to pop up and it goes right back down. I'm not sure why its not staying up. Any ideas what I can do to get my wheel to pop up and stay up?
Thanks for your future posts.

my friends got a 99 6r and stock gearing, cluthes up 3rds at about 75 mph. he does a standup and clutch at the same time. he also does 2nd gear clutch crossovers or highchairs. pretty sick.
