Default Raptor Stoppie question

I can pull the brake all the way to the handlebar and still i have trouble doing a stoppie i was wondering how i could adjust the, to make them lock up better

My cousin has a banshee and you pull it in half way and it wants to do a stoppie with no problem
what gives?

Get a set of steel braided brake lines, they make a world of difference.

Make sure you throw yourself forward when you do an endo...not too far though or you'll flip over.

I second that advise....WORLD of difference...[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img] First time I tested the brakes after installing steel lines, grabbed hard on the lever on my driveway, weight forward, did unintended stoppie and sh*t myself...[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img]

Make sure the traction is right, don't do it on gravel or soft dirt or whatever, do it on grass or pavement or anything that'll grab traction good... Once you find that, try it in first gear, and slide forward on the gas tank when you squease hard on the front brakes, throw your weight into the gas tank and towards the fenders, releas the brakes if your going to fast forward or what not if you panic, juice the gas at the last resort, or try to get your legs over the bars like a heal clicker to save it from going over... The heavier you are, the better, the lighter you are, the more effort you have to put into your weight going onto the front end......
