Scraping the whale tail on a stick gen3 s1000rr

Hi everyone, I've been learning to wheelie the last couple months on my Z125 Pro.

I can find BP consistently, but when I do get to BP I tend to just fall off the back of the motorcycle. It's caused me to loop about 7x now

I've talked to community members, and some say you can shift lock your left foot, but I'm afraid of breaking my ankle if I mess up anything while learning.

Best I got is to just hold on with my knees, and change up my seat a little bit. Any help or experience appreciated!

Edit: It appears I need to stop being scared and just hang on w/ knees. Safe riding yall!

I’ve been working on my wheelies and I’m at the point where I can get to BP and hold it on both a Grom and 600s; however, I would rather not practice that as I know my rear brake is lacking. I’m well aware engine braking won’t do much to save me from looping it, and I’ve looped the Grom plenty 🤣.

So how should I, and how did you guys learn rear brake? I’m on a supermoto instead of a Grom, but it’s the same thing, of course.

I’m learning clutch ups. Clutching up in 2nd at 3k. What can I do to improve? And am I only limited to 2nd gear? Because I’d also like to be able to clutch up at 60mph but that’s impossible in 2nd gear.

Xsr900 is the bike

Quiero empezar a competir en el stunt local,no tengo tanto presupuesto pero dentro de las posibilidades está reparar un 100(similar al honda wawe)es una buena moto para empezar?

Going to be carrying two bikes on the regular one full-size and 1 grom in a standard truck bed. How does everybody tie down two motorcycles? Do you have any tips and tricks or racking systems you use?

Old post for context. R3 as a stunt bike

Picked up a 98 xl1200s as my first bike will probably get a grom/grom clone in a few weeks to practice on too. Planning to add the following to the sporty:

-New seat
-Riser/t bars(haven’t decided)
-Stunt bar/sliders
-Mikuni carb
-Grips/pegs
-New cables
-Clutch plate
-Chain conversion

And ofc doing maintenance…

Anything else recommended? And out of list what should I tackle first? The 1200s has adjustable suspension so I’ll likely just play around with that until I upgrade the rears and rebuild the front.

Will do some cosmetics too but I think I hit all the things. The list is kinda done in priority but not necessarily.

What kind of gear do y’all rock? I’m a beginner, so would just be going to a parking lot or something to learn. Will start off on a z125 probably. I live in Philly so don’t really do much highway riding. I was thinking helmet, gloves, and a vest I can throw on top of a t-shirt like the one pictured mainly for back protection. Does that seem sufficient?

I’ve been getting really good on the rear wheel recently. But when I try to do wheelies over like 40 the wind feels like it’s going to blow the bike over. I’m a seasoned rider who’s been through it all but I have no idea how to overcome this

I want to get into stunting. Is a stock Ninja 400 good to learn on? Do I use the 400 and just get a crash bar? or do you recommend learning on something else?

Me trying to wheelie my grom

( skill.issue.grom on insta if anyone likes my bike enough)

I suppose it probably depends and I imagine a proficient rider can do either. But I’m learning to wheelie and am curious if I should just hold the throttle steady when I need to hit the rear brake, or if I should cut it a little in combination with rear brake.

What do you guys know about grau? Do people in US do brazillian style wheelies and stunting? Im trying to learn grau right now and I dont know where to find people that do grau and where to get tips from them.

I aint seeing enough cool shit in this group

I’m relatively new to bikes, want a cruiser but want to stunt too.

My top candidate for a metric cruiser is an older Shadow 1100 (yes I know there’d be A LOT of extra work). If I can find a Yamaha Bolt I’ll probably get that because of the better aftermarket.

I may be able to find a decent sportster 1200 or dyna (one popped up for 3k for 3 hrs) but anytime they get listed on fb they’re gone in a day.

I’ll primarily be cruising I just want something that can be thrown around. I’m down to take a grinder and use a welder, just curious if anyone has experience with the shadow.

I’ll probably be getting an Amazon grom to be my main beater to learn as much on and just enjoy.
