Re: how do i wheelie!!

use second gear bud and tryn not use the clutch.get rolling a wee bit then snap the throttel and tryn catch it with wee blips. once you can keep it up in second tryn catch third for super long wheelies!!!! try a gental slope first. oh n grip the tank with your knees

Re: how do i wheelie!!

just do it how you think you would wheelie

you cant realy explain, and if you go slipping the clutch when you dont know what to do you will end up on your arse

its just a case of getting your weight back and balancing the bike because you cant power wheelie for a long way on a pit.

A power wheelie is a wheelie where you are not at the balance point its the acceleration of the bike what keeps it up

but just get use to the feeling of the front in the air first by douing little ones.

when you get use to it you can change gear in a wheelie you just wack it through without the clutch but its easy to flip off the back when douing that. I have done it too many times it broke the footpeg mount in 2, the rear mudgurad the rear mount on the seat and both the middle mounts on it aswel. lol that was me trying to change from 2nd to 3rd in one

Re: how do i wheelie!!

i panic when my wheel lifts off more than 6" when the front wheel is up , do you balence it with the throttle or the brake? or both? i think the brake idea comes from when i wheel on my mtb

Re: how do i wheelie!!

try second gear as first a little to snatchy sit as far back as comfortable cover the back brake blip the throttle and try and keep it on the balance point to find balance point use 1st gear flip it and walk the bike on a wheelie a few times to get the feel of how high you can go and just plenty of seat time after that

Re: how do i wheelie!!

all about the balancing point, you'll get the bike more vertical than what feels natural to find it but keep the rear brake covered and your laughing. wont need to rev the fuc or now't, just adjust with brake and throttle and you'll go all day long
