Just wondering cuz I do them holding the clutch in and my buddy does them while in neutral. We both roll them out good and at bp so I am just trying to see what works for everyone else...

like D said.. why?nags said:
But also make sure to NEVER hit it in the middle of your stoppie. Wait untill the last second
The answer to why not in the middle of your stoppie is cause the wheel has momentum and tapping the brake will effect the height of the bike. Just like dirtbikers tap the brake or give some gas to level out a bike in the air, the same goes for stoppies.Fat H0's Stalk Me said:

I don't know either, maybe Nags can explain more, since I got my 929 I have been using the brake as the rear comes down but prior to that I stunted a ZX9R for 2 years and I never hit the rear brake and I never had anything wear, brake or anything strange happen that I could attribute to stoppies.DeeZR6 said:
Well its the gyroscopic (read - balancing) effect a rotating wheel will have on the rest of the bike. But what I was asking was the drop portion, like what can get hurt and for what reason other then a sudden stop which is the same type of stop as if you do a slide or whatever where u lock the back wheel right after it was spinning fast.

Ditto. I've been doing all KINDS of endos on my R1 and never touch the rear brake. No problems in my drive train--matter of fact my original chain and sprockets lasted 20,000 miles and could have kept going. I'm over 32,000 right now.Dkmssl said:
