Sorry for all the sniffling. I was cold and I have allergies!
How to Wheelie
Position:
1. Sit in the back of your seat to put more weight to the back.
2. Hug the gas tank with your legs.
3. Hover your foot over the brake.
4. Use two fingers to pull the clutch and the rest to hold the bar.
Clutch up:
1. Roll around 20-30km/h (1st or 2nd gear. 2nd gear you will need to rev more, but it will be a lot less aggressive when the wheel pops up)
2. Off the gas
3. Clutch in
4. Rev the RPMs up as needed (start low and slowly rev higher each time to find the sweet spot)
5. Drop the clutch or release very quickly
Every bike will be different on how fast you should go and what RPMs you should be at before dropping the clutch. Experiment with your bike with low revs and slowly add to it. Remember to hover your foot over the brake!!! Also, be safe and practice in an open area with no one around. Have fun and I hope you guys learned something from this video.
Do these at your own risk. You may crash your bike or injure yourself in the process of learning or doing.

I watched a ton of "how to wheelie" videos and they all go straight to wheelie without giving a good method for progression. I think that's what sets this video apart from the rest. For someone who hasn't done a wheelie yet, it's really intimidating to just guess rpms and commit to it because you don't know if you're just gonna loop the fuck out of it or not.

Your point about loading the weight and quickly unloading it back with the gas is key. I have been able to do wheelies for years, but with extreme revs because I wasn't doing it quickly enough. This led to scary moments where I had to control the throttle quickly to not loop and higher speeds than I wanted.

Actually, on first gear, you don't need the clutch, you just accelerate fast and it's gonna get up pretty quick (i speak for mt 07 owners). Personnally, i prefer second gear, because you have much more control over the height, but that's maybe just the thoughts of a beginner.

Quick question should one lightly tap the rear brake while in a wheelie or do I only use it to go down ? Basically what I’m asking is how do continue the wheelie for about a couple feet

@XLBAORIDER 3 жыл бұрын

Great question! In order to continue the wheelie longer, you need to bring it high enough to "balance point" where the bike feels weightless and you don't need to gas or brake to keep it there. Another way is, you chase out the wheelie by adding more throttle to keep the wheel in the air (you will pick up speed with this one and eventually the wheel will come down when you run out of rooms) . When you learn balance point tapping the rear brake helps when you accidentally go past balance point and you need to bring it back down to balance point or stop the wheelie completely. Make sure to always end your wheelies with the rear brake so you can build muscle memory to bring the bike down during emergencies. If you need more clarification or have more questions feel free to ask more! I'll try to make a video explaining this more 😁
