Hi guys I been searching on the forum but havnt found any post on doing a coaster. For those who doesnt know what a coaster is, it's when you get the bike to the edge of the balance point and pull in the clutch and rev it to the limiter very cool trick.
Anywayz can someone who knows how to do one give me some tips ....I can get to the coasting point but i dont know how to stay there ......i'm guessing you have to learn the rear brake ? any information on the subject would be great thanx ... http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif

Easiest way is to Bump up the idle to about 2500-3000, rock a slow wheelie WAY back till it starts faling over backwards slightly and use the rear brake to hold it up...... You have to have SICK rear brake control to ride it any disatance though... you will also want to drop your brake pedal down so it is easier to modulate in a standup wheelie.

????? Don't turn your idle up... it makes no difference, don't go slow... it's harder..... I get going at the top of first or second depending on how far i want to go. Get going i do them staggered, after you get close to the desired rpm throw it back like your going to scrape, but catch it before it does. Pull the clutch in then just be VERY careful, coasters are hard to much brake and you'll find your self going over the bars (i DO know this). Also while your learning DO NOT revv it.. You will end up flipping it because it's natrual reaction to let the clutch out.

I see ...thanx for the tips man ....i'll start working on some rear brake control first before i'll try anything thanks again http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/punk.gif

You'll have to have excellent control of the rear brake. Not enough brake and you'll probably scrape faster than you want, too much and like he said earlier....over the front! http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/ooo.gif
Also I agree with not hitting the rev limiter until you have the trick on lock, it's very easy to forget not to pop it.

Usually when I get in one I get it back a little past balance pull the clutch in & at the same time, I catch it with the brake slightly. The farther you come back the harder you press the brake. When you get better, you'll keep it right on the balance point & barely be on the brake and still no engine. It's the same principal as a high balanced endo, only reversed and safer. Usually when i get in a good spot, I hold the brake fairly steady and move my body if I need to adjust the height, that way you can kinda pull one back a little if it's about to come back down.

Staggered is the easiest way to learn, just make sure you got that back leg locked straight to keep any wobble out.

Keep the idle down that way If it goes bad just let the clutch back out and it will engine brake instead of slamming the rear brake, that will be alot smoother. It's easiest to learn in 2nd unless you come back to far then its harder on your ass.

Sorry so long just had alot to say.

Good luck with it.

If you got a quad to practice on do that first.
