hey iceracer seen your flip on your 125,i am the mono king down here in australia 2010 monster kx 500 afx registered and can do 1-2 kms on my back wheel on the road easy,some advice 4 ya,now you know your flipping point (angle of bike where all hope is lost) you will start to do better monos,you need to get your angle back a few more degrees and just do smoother smaller surges with your throttle,you have to be able to do that to start changing your gears,and you will find that you will feel more comfortable lifting it up higher as you have more control and your bike is not reefing it front wheel up and down (heaps dangerous) as per your video clip,as 1 surge of juice to much and your gone,i know it sounds silly but if you bring your bike back further its a lot safer..a good wheelstander is always a good rider as balance control on your back wheel takes a bit of practise and transferes to your riding,when you mono your 5hunghy you dont need to bring it as far back (power monos) as the power will help keep smooth,..good luck..i race my bike down here on flat tracks,youse mob call them dirt tracks,and my bikes just lifts up during the starts (mono the whole straight)and i can keep it there and still beat all of them 2010 4strokes 450s to the 1st corner,every start to if i dont back it off..sorry we took over 1 of your posts as well,..1 eyed 2stroke bloke..down under..hate 4 strokes.dont ask me why..oh yeah go back to your other post and youl see..stay with the 2s too dude..good luck with your racing and remember ride safe..madmick.

Thanks for the advice. Trust me i will never get me a 4 stroke. To me 4 strokes are for people that can not ride 2 strokes(they cant keep it in the right powerband).

A real rider can ride anything, a smart rider rides what he can afford:)

I love my 4t :-D I can leave my house ride 60+ miles on a 2.2 gallon tank and hit any gas station with in 500 feet of the desert to fill up. It's a big notch over any dirt bike I have ever owned as far as feedom goes.

They are real riders until the 4T breaks and they buy a cheap 2T until they can pay to fix or part out the 4 stroke. :roll:

fellas fellas come on now keep it real, i think what he meant is 2stroke riders ride on the edge more as thats how there designed to be ridden, higher revs in the power band, as per 4strokes lower revs and not as abrupt, so it is a more controlable ride, not on the edge as much.?.

I love Motorcycles. You know about ten years ago I pulled an old trail 90 out from the side of the house and got it running. My buddy Nate and I spent hours ridding it around the hood and had s**t eating grins on are faces the whole time even though my daily ride was gsxr1100 and my weekend ride was a kx500.

Very perceptive madmick. Truth is I was looking for a Yoda quote for you IceRacer that would tell you to let the force guide you to that sweet spot on the back wheel. Instead found the other reference, I thought applied to the smack down on the 4t.
I was once as critical of the 4t but have risen to a higher consciousness, and now know that some just need more time to get rid of their exhaust, clean out the cylinder, before getting fired up again. I know, I should be leaving the philosophical to Tuck.

This is the best advice you can give some one who is trying to learn to wheelie. The one the I can add to this is that not only do you want to cover the back brake but you have to tell yourself that you are going to use it if you get into trouble. Practice hitting the brake in your mind over and over before you ever start your wheelie. Even tell your self out loud if need be that you are going to use the back brake if the wheelie gets to high. Just because your covering the back brake with your foot does not mean your going to over come the panic when you start to loop out as 70 mph, this is something you have to prepare for mentally. This will help you to use controle also. hitting the brake to hard can cause you to crash and has been known to brake frames on street bikes.
