\r\n \r\n If you do try staggerd it might feel really crazy the first time you ever do it. For me personally just getting them up and feeling comfortable with the bike getting up higher and approaching BP; foot in seat or sub>Staggerd>sit down. For me I think it was a visibility thing. I felt more comfortable the more I could see in front of me and over the front end.\r\n

\r\n \r\n i too am starting out and for me one thing that helped me get the bike higher up towards the bp was when someone jsut said to bring it up till it scared me..keep that brake covered and worst case grab brake and come back down..i always seemed to bring it up only to where i thought it needed to be..once i finally broke past my fear and hit the bp its so much easier now that i kno where the bike needs to be in order to work on riding the wheelie out..you said next time your going to go staggered.. i always felt more comfortable standing and clutching up..even before i had a Hb setup..i think it was all mental and the fact that you dont have to worry about holding yourself on the bike as much standing up

..good luck man

\r\n \r\n Its much easier to learn standing in staggered stance. Sitdowns are harder. Espeacialy at slower speeds. It will feel strange at first clutching up till you get used to how the bike acts. But its MUCH easier to get it into BP and alot less intimidating. Keep at it and push yourself. Wrecking is progress believe it or not.\r\n

\r\n \r\n So went out today and practiced staggered. This was my first time and yes, feels very weird at first. Took me a bit to start getting a good feel for it. At first they were very low, I think throughout the day I have improved a bit with staggered at least, still not comfy enough to push it to the limit. And my damn finger hurts like hell from the stock clutch, cant wait to get my righteous clutch.
