Gettin a feel for how little to roll of the throttle when the front lifts to slow the rise for me at the moment, it lifts rapidly on power in first and I bail out every time :shock: I know there is still shed loads to go before the balance point, but there you go Rome wasn't built in a day and it burnt down just as quick :blob8:.
Mastering the clutch technique is gonna take a long time to!!!! Little and often!!
Getting the 08 damper sorted might give me a bit more confidence, but I must say I do like it shaking its head out of bends and light rising on power. :icon_thumright:

Thats a pretty good and instructional video, follow his advice and you will be up in no time. Also its not actually that easy to flip the bike unless you are totaly stupid or insane enuff to not release the throttle

Agreed, its panic that sets in when it comes up a little quicker than expected natural reaction is to shut off, unless your a complete numpty  [whistle]
