How to wheelie an mt07? Accelerate. 😂

Before anyone else flips their bike, the best advice I can give is don't clutch the bike up the whole way like in this video. Only use the clutch to pop the wheel the first foot, then use throttle to bring it up the rest of the way under control. Too many learners clutch it up the whole way and get it wrong one time and flip the bike. Learn to use the brake to control the height as well, it's a good habit because it'll save your ass if you go too far.

Best tutorial out there, in the other tutorials on YT no one has ever said you had to roll on the throttle or keep applying the throttle only to pop it up. I will try this soon, thank you!

To me whenever I try, it seems like everything happens so fast my brain goes blank and I can’t think straight. Probably just the fear of looping it I guess ?

been out and about trying wheelies. scaring myself everytime the wheel went up, i watched this... first half, went out for a ride and comitted to giving more gas, i cant go long distances, but i can get the frontwheel up whenever i want now =) thanks to you i have the confidence to give that little extra gas and not get scared when you feel the front wheel lift of the ground

This video has inspired me to start practicing clutch-up wheelies. I have been riding for 2.5 years, and have over 30k miles on my FZ-07. I mainly do power wheelies in 2nd around 30. Watching this video makes me think they might not be as violent feeling :D Thanks for the pointers!

This is the best wheelie how to i have yet to see for a beginner.

FATAL LIFE what a great tutorial bro, even tho i don't speak a perfect english ( i'm french ) this tutorial is pretty good, you take time to show steps by steps to know how to wheelie and it's pretty good, thank's for it bro, i'll hope you catch up more video's about your evolution with wheelies !! Ride safe from a french mt07 rider V

Thank you so much for this video! This made things so much easier for me on my FZ!

Between this video and salt the wounds video I was able to clutch up my fzo7 my first time going out. Thanks a ton! I’m hooked now!

I'm 6'7" and 240lbs. This is super helpful. Thanks man.

Very nicely done video, I recently got brave enough to try first gear power wheelie. Alot of good pointers. Suprised to see a local video on KZfaq

I usually clutch up 2nd and 3rd and stay away from 1st for right now. If you are into parking lot stunting then 1st is for you, otherwise just wait until 2nd. The biggest thing you have to overcome with wheelies is fear. My first attempt at clutching up in second brought it right up a few feet. but at least that broke some of the fear.

Inspired to start practicing! Thanks! Two comments -practicing with the clutch seems a good dilligent method to get to know the fz better, rather than just skipping straight to throttling up. You learn more control this way. - I wish I had paid more attention when you pointed out the sweet spot in the saddle, in the groove before the back seat. I forgot where I was sitting and got a quick reminder of my boys. Had to take a 10 count!😵

Also trust me 7:45 iis far from balance point. Every day it took me more and more I thought I was at it but was far. Until your forks are even with the horizon you are not there.

I started practicing after watching your video and the tip about the clutch was really helpful. I have started popping the wheel up now. :)

This video just cleared up the last puzzle piece, thank you!

I watched this to see how easy it is to wheelie do that I don’t do it on accident. I’m used to dirt bikes(Yamaha WR500 and ktm 500exc-f). I appreciate the video! I love the idea of doing wheelies but my skill to consequence ratio would not be ideal. Getting my license in May and then buying a new MT-07(I keep vehicles for life). I subscribed to your channel. Thanks for being one of the people that helps new riders with helpful information.

I have to wear the same type of wrist protector on FZ 07 too. If I'm riding stop and go in town allot, my wrist starts hurting like a mother from clutching. Great video man!

i run a completely stock fz-07 i found that 18-25 mph in second was my sweet spot for wheelies, but i used to twist the throttle like you do when I wheelied so i am trying to teach myself not to close the throttle as much once i get it up, it helps finding balance point a little smoother and it just results in smoother wheelies in my opinion

I just started doing small pops on mine today. gradually gave it more gas. I thought I would shit myself but its really fun to pop wheelies on this thing. I guess knowing how to wheelie on my mountain bike helps a little bit with the balance.

The technique you use with the clutch having it set out really far and using 2 fingers actually helps a lot i got my mt07 up in 3rd gear 4th or 5th try thanks

This is definitely helping me, I'm slowly getting there.

Best tutorial for a FZ07 wheelie. Look forward to watching more of your videos. Just subscribed !

I’ll try it I’ve flipped it twice n get it up n go to far the MT-07s have plenty of talk(great vid man)

Greetings from Croatia! Very good tutorial!

Good vid!!!! Can't wait to try.

Awesome explanation

Thanks a lot extremely helpful video 🤙🏻

Good video dude thanks , I understand balance point now 👌

Give it a little throttle on the way down to make is less strain on your wrists and fork seals

Nice video, been riding R1 and 600rr for a while, friend let me borrow the FZ07, perfect bike for learning how to wheelie.

just 2 of my tips, is 1. when you pop the front end up dont lean forward and hug th bike you need to lean back an be relaxed. 2. you will know youre at balance point once you start looking under the handle bars to see where youre going if youre looking over the tire youre not even near balance point

3rd gear at 45~48 is doable but you basically have to red line it and give it a little jerk. It doesn’t come up as fast as it does in first or second but if you ride it out it will come up. My bike has an r6 throttle tube and full yoshi exhaust not sure how much difference in power that makes from stock. Also don’t cut the throttle when you drop the clutch keep rolling on the throttle.

Great lesson!!!!!

Have the same bike in yellow and no need to clutch it on 1st and 2nd gear. The front wheel just pop’s up at 3500 revs on 1st then 4000 revs on 2nd gear with no cluching. But you need to change your exhaust for more torq ....

23k views he'll yea brother! Hope to ride with ya at the hallowicked ride out

have to say I'm surprised at the ease of this bike lifting....I got a Suz GSX S1000 and it has twice the power and it still needs fairly much input to lift like this bike. Nice vid man

I just bought my mt07 a couple weeks ago but I've just been doing power wheelies so far

This is a pretty good video in terms of accurate information. I started out doing 1st gear little pull ups and after a lot of practice I can shift up mid wheelie. Now i can do 6th gear 100 mph wheelies with ease.

thank you men i learn a lot

Honest review 😁😁👍

Great video!! What camera are you using, and how do you place it in from on the helmet?

thank you bro slow motion realy help !!

and just a pointer mate you should pull on the throttle when goin down it wil reduce youre wrist pain and its alot better for the bike

my mt07 was scared a little bit when the first accidental wheelie occoured :D its realy high up, i accidentaly stomped the rear and hit my most precious limb:D nowadays i try to power wheelies to get me comfortable and its working, yesterday i was a bit hard on the gas from the light with my wife on the back and i was able to control the whole thing. She was scared a little bit, me to because she is on my back, but its ended a safe halfway up power wheelie trough 1st gear :D

Solid! 👌🤘

ive watched this video over a thousand times!!!!

I'm 230, and have a tune and hordpower, yet at no point in any gear do I feel the ability to power up wheelie. , intimidating starting out the clutch ups but good video good advise thanks. 👌

You’re teaching people how to power wheelie

Hi, i have a question For a Beginners you suggest to high with the frist gear or second gear?

i feel 1st gear seems enough to loop the bike with a throttle. I clutch-up only on 2nd between 25-30mph. Fz 07 with ejk and M4 exhaust

Do you have any protecting parts on the bike? If you do, what parts?

to everyone saying there is no need for a clutch up you are prolly chasing wheelies like this dude. i have a few videos showing what power up wheelies do and unless you grab a ton of rear brake after a power up you end up chasing the wheelie. clutch the bike up a few times and get used to the fast upward motion. once you get that feel start finding the balance point. i have an fz and it is very straight up. hover the rear brake and go slow. dropping it at 15 mph is better than 35 trust me. you wanna clutch bike for stunting bc ur going to work the motor less and pick the front end up faster while using less of ur rpm range. i can clutch the bike up at 5mph and wheelie at a soild 10mph managing the brake before the bike gets past 6k. power ups in first, by the time ur bar enough back the bike is at 30mph and slowing urself down is 20x harder. get a cage and drop the bike a few times. they are cheao parts just go for it lol

good job,,i love your humbleness ,,have you considered changing front shock?,,i am doing for handling reasons mainly and hoping it will cushion the down impact ,,stock shock is pretty brutal ,,,may help your wrist some Bill

It's all about the feeling...

I clutch up in 2nd and 3rd even 4th after i installed a full exhaust flash tuned it and dna stage 2 filter

Hey dude! The video looks really nice, what camera setup fo you use? It looks clearer than most the other gopro setups.

Balance point is usually whenever the forks are parallel with the ground

People need to understand the clutch adjustment is not the same as suspension adjustments (made to taste) Its like chain tension. Youre essentially setting how much it separates the plates and you can make it slip or drag with the wrong adjustments. A dragging clutch will make gear changes feel really harsh. There is a set range and anything outside of that will be bad for the disks. If you can make your adjustments and stay within the 10-15mm freeplay range then more power to you

Oh man you got the purty color.. I don't know why that's not more popular, everyone just buys the same ugly grey one Jake The Garden Snake owns. I wish I had $5k so I could go to my local dealership and pick one up.

What kind of oil are you running? Thanks

thanks for the tutorial its great! uim gonna start practicing more. also remove that warning sticker lolz

great video

how tall are you? and is the bike comfortable.. I am 6'3" 240lbs

How did you adjust the clutch lever pull?

I been trying for few days but I haven't changed the clutch tho. but I get a snappy sound and feel on the chain when I let go of the clutch. not sure if it's supposed to be like that. a few times I got it to come up smooth but mostly it's this snap and it don't feel right. I'm not clutching up as fast as u, would it be smoother if the clutch up is done faster?

Holy shit dude, I live in Rochester too lol

Anyone can do a wheelie its good balance that is the hard part.. I was too stupid to keep my right foot ready with the brake when I was young doing dirt bike wheelies ..

Sweet bike. Got the same one. Was wondering if it's hurt your forks? If it does or doesn't how do you check or tell? New to riding so I'm unsure.

I've been having trouble clutching up. I've gotten to the point where I literally drop the clutch at 6k rpm in second gear and the front doesn't come up an inch (going ~35 mph). Also, full throttle in first gear from a dig barely raises the wheel off the ground. To the point where I never need to modulate throttle when taking off, just lean forward a bit and there's no way the bike will wheelie in first. I module throttle while letting the clutch out, then I'm just pinned the entire way from 4k-redline in first with no lift. I'm 6'4'' about 180lbs in gear. Any tips? I'm about 75% stiff on the rear spring, maybe I should try going to 100%... I haven't had issues with a few dirt bikes over the past few years.

You got like another 2-3 feet until you're at balance point. No where near it really. You gotta be damn near looking at the sky, your tank and fairings will be blocking your view.

Great video! What area in america is this? very pretty

I'm still learning to lift the tire lol im jealous of how high you get. I ride with two other fz riders we are all in Michigan.

10mph, first gear, slam butt on seat, twist gas, don't let off until balance point

This is really good exept i use kp/h

How is it balance point when you have to accelerate the whole time or it goes back down?

can i get better gas mileage following this method?

Yo man I’m 33 and never haven’t rode a bike yet but I taking the course and looking to buy a bike. My question is- mt03 or mt07 for first bike

ik this is 1 year ago but , just slightly leave the throttle mid wheelie not the whole throttle + try brake recovery mid wheelie

275lbs stock 25mph 3rd gear 3-5 rpms bam baby

What year model

Never bother clutching mine, it'll power wheelie in second and third. Probably because that's how I do it on the dirt bikes.

thx!

I like that color. What year is that?

Thanks

You're a little bit safer learning to clutch up with one finger not two. other than that great video man:)

Clutch up in 3rd around 30 mph is safer because of stability

How to wheelie on a fz07 ? Just fuckin twist the throttle mate , I have a '16 man I can wheelie that thing all day I love it

12:50 Do it with 0.5 speed. you will see it better

You need to get the gear change in

Really good tutorial bro. So you don't literally pull up on the handle bars then huh?

*YING YING*

13:10 looks like you got good understanding of clutching. Looks like your cutting the throttle too early before its high enough. I would try to stay constant and catch the height with your rear brake. Try to train your self that if you point your toe down(hitting the brake) your bike will go lower and if you raise your toe it will go higher. I modulate the wheelies with the brake.

I heard that clutch wheelies are bad for the clutch .... Is it true?

Learning how to talk more like it

I thought this video was computer generated at first... what kinda camera is that?

ying ying

That thing needs an exhaust

Nice video how is John ?
