Lookin good! Try clutching from a dead stop though...If you are trying to catch idle you can only really go as slow as you are going when you clutch it up. Atleast until you learnto hang it way back and shave speed.

^^Holy shit that looked sketchy. How long ago was that? And Id take those plastics off. Nice and mint, no need to have them get cracked or damaged while you learn. Do you have any video without music. I like being able to hear the bike. But good progress.
And how to embed youtube. Click youtube thingy()
Insert everything after the = sign in the youtube link inbetween

Whats the fascination with clutching up to slam the bar? All the new guys that are posting up are doing that and I don't get it.... we never did that when learning. We learned how to wheelie then started using the bar during wheelies. Like tapping and dragging mid-way....

looks great mate you should be there in no time.... im a 2-3 monther too..... us noobs gotta stick together lmfao... advice i could prob give is start doing staggered.... you obviously have throttle and brake control going now and getting off them bottom pegs helps eliminate the feeling that your going to fall back.... i got seat stander idles in 2 weeks its not hard at all man its all about committing to it and not panicing at the first sign of danger..... my 2c from a noob cunt

The video were i am crashing the bike is almost stock -1+2 no idle mod just a crash cage and a round bar. I did not all ways hit the round bar that was just some of the bad ones LOl. I now have done the idle mod clean air bigger sprocket and OMR SUBCAGE. As for my plastics they are not looking as good I should have taking them off. I have rode a few times after this video and I am getting smoother, I bring the bike to more of a stop and can sit it back at idle longer I will try to get some more video if I ride tonight thanks for the tips and support
