Throttle control

[magic19]

Ok when I clutch up my wheelies in first it shots up to about a 9 o'clock position and from there it looks like a see saw. How can I stop that and keep it smooth.Also, sometimes when I clutch up I only come up about 2 feet off the ground and i keep on the throttle to try to keep it coming up but that doesn't work.

the start is everything, if it don't come up to or above 9 o'clock start again..

When i pop it up i'm almost straight to bp, i'll just only ever so slightly give it more until i find the sweet spot.. it's just practice mate.. throttle smoothness just comes with practice.

Keep it up... once you find yourself real smooth with throttle learn brake control...

hope this helps out.

it sounds like you're just starting out. I would work on my 1st gear clutch ups rolling around 4k-5k and slipin the clutch and bringing it up and ride them out to limiter, working on being smooth on the throttle. Once you're comfortable with that, work on 2nd gear bouce/clutch, getting them high enough and again working on being smooth on the throttle. I wouldn't try slow rolls until you're comfortable with the front up high and you got some throttle control. Then there's the brake control. Which I learned on a fiddy & quad. Take it slow, take your time and learn the basics. Just my .02¢

Don't think about twisting your wrist for throttle control... You need to give very small inputs. Think about it like you're "Squeezing" the throttle. -Like you just squeeze it... You don't want to chop your wrist back and forth... Throttle chopping equals your back wheel speeding up and slowing down which can contribute to the side to side balance being upset.

-My 2 cents... Maybe I'm crazy, but it works for me. Wear your gear.

definitely good input man. I see people hammer on the gas, on and off on and off... "sweet wheelie dude." haha...
