Whip!

[kawadude102]

ok ive been riding my kdx 200 for like 4months and i cant whip...i know its not the best bike for jumping but any tips???

[kawadude102]

also i cant figure out how to wheelie

[DRGSin393]

whats the biggest jump youve jumped?

[kawadude102]

like 45ft
not to many jumps where i ride just some pits and logging roads

[char393]

Hell, I've been riding for 18 years and I can't whip either.

Kdx200 is a great wheelie bike, just lean back, give the throttle a healthy twist and prepare to go through some rear fenders until you find the balance point.

[kawadude102]

ya ive tried leaning back and giving it gas and i can get teh front tire up just not keep it up....

[krzywhiteboy]

Give it more gas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[f4stunter]

use the clutch, you lose your power by the time you get it close to the balance point and it drops out. You will have better results if you learn to use the clutch.

i cant help to much on the whip, but i do know some people who can and they tell me you kinda carve a "C" on the face of the jump and then throw the bike to the side just before the lip

then use your spinning front wheel to control through the air


as for a wheelie, sitting down: move your body to the back of the bike, find the sweet spot in the RPM's just before you hit the power band and twist the out of the throttle, if you go over the back, don't give it that much gas! if you don't get it up, move back more and give more throttle!

for standing wheelies, grip you tank with your knees, put your weight to the rear, and give it gas, using your clutch can help to, but a lot of the time i can just do it with the throttle alone

just keep your weight back and practice

That's not what i heard!

I don't mean to sound like a d-bag, but if you have to ask how to whip you probably shouldn't be doing it. It's something that kinda comes naturally.

Am I right by saying Kawadude102 you’ve only been riding for 4 months? If so forget about doing whips trust me I’m only just starting to whip and I’ve had 18 months of training with a former MX1 world champion. I agree with Grieby54 It's something that kind of comes naturally.

JUMP’S FOR SHOW CORNERS FOR CASH….

LOL right on the money honey!! "The Mossy C" as I like to call it is a scrub, not a whip. And yea it does work. My big problem with doing "the Mossy C" is I tend to stick a leg out and almost have it broke off. My advice is to forget about the whip/scrub. And moving your butt to the back of your seat is just asking to loop out on a sit down wheelie. Do some searches on wheelies, there are a lot on this site

[kawadude102]

thanks still havent gotten anytime to ride though

[justin-1022]

for a wheelie as soon as u get it up grab another gear start in 2nd or 3rd or even 4th if u can get it up in thtat gear. i no on my 450r thats what i do get it up in 3rd and then make sure the rpms are up before i shift and that im in balance point the feather it through 4th and when the rpms are getting high again i grab 5th. or i just start in 1st and use my break and go really slow for a long way ha.

[kawadude102]

ya i just cant figure that out..
like how to shift and wheelie at the same time..

[justin-1022]

you have to go till the rpms are pretty high before shifting otherwise it bogs out and your front end just drops and you got to feather it through the gears otherwise you will just flip backwords. 2 strokes are even weirder though beacuse when you wheele you have to be in power band or out of it but its not to smart ti hit it while your in balance point because you will most likley flip backwords ha.

[kawadude102]

ok well hopefully i can go ridin today
