    Covering the rear brake.....

    How do you cover the rear brake in a wheelie?  Everytime I try this, I notice I have to lift my foot from the peg to touch the brake pedal.  That can't be right.

    your foot should be placed just off center of your peg, with  basicly your toes on the brake. Then if you need the brake you simple lean that foot forward. It will kinda leave you with the peg somewhat between your arche and heel. almost in a direct line under you leg. you wont need a lot of brake just enough gyro force to stop your movment backwards. you might want to practice brakeing just after the tire lifts and keep working up to get a feel, rather than doing a 12 and stomping the pedal....If you know what i mean?!

    Your brake pedal and also your shifter pedal are adjustable.  Adjust the brake pedal downward just enough to allow you to move your foot over it without lifting your foot off the peg.  Remember to re-adjust your brake light switch after adjusting the pedal.
