just started clutch ups the last week on my zx6r. My sunday plan was to go mess around with them. Just starting in first and getting the hang of flicking the clutch out and getting the front wheel about 2 feet off the ground. I think Im going to air out the back tire a little bit while learning because when i started riding it out, it got a little squirley. Seemed a lot smoother to clutch up in second but just not comfortable doing them at the speed needed in 2nd yet because you have to rev it so much higher. Thanks for the tips bro bro. Also, the fork seal I was hoping i fixed with a cheap seal-mate started leaking a little as soon as i started getting the front end up. At least its the end of the season and leaves a winter project to replace them

comfortability is key. nothing to it but to do it. if youve never wheelied before try a small cc dirtbike (110-150) and pop the clutch 1 gear standing still and just let the front end pop up and get comfortable with the motion. i started on a ninja 400 doing street wheelies now have begun practicing on my latest bike a 1000.

I'm ready to start working on wheelies but I'm a little nervous. My too bikes are both insane machines, Ducati Streetfighter V4SP2 with full exhaust and tuning and a 2023 Honda Fireblade SP again with full system and tuning... I've been keeping the wheelie control set low enough that it'll skim the front tire off the ground under harder pulls but I've never turned wheelie control off complete and tried to power wheelie or clutch up either of these bikes. You've got some great tips and examples in your video here. I think I might start with just wheelie control off, foot over rear brake, and chasing a harder pulls until I'm comfortable with how the bike feels on one wheel, then work on mastering the clutch up from pretty much any gear.

The roads are crowned in the middle, especially in the south for water drainage. My bike will tend to go right on one tire because it’s trying to go downhill from the crown in the road. (The Brits’ bikes probably tend to go left because of driving on the opposite lane)

I tell everybody they should clutch up every wheelie every time no matter what bike they are on. It may seem scary at first but by clutching them you can control how quick they come up to balance point. In my opinion it's way safer than chasing a power wheelie. I also tell everybody that if they feel like they are gonna loop out, in most cases they aren't even close.

I let other people ride it and they didnt have the same problem so i started thinking that there maybe is something wrong with my position on the bike, but when i tried wheelie’ing other bikes like ’13 R1 or S1000RR the problem didn’t occur and the bikes went perfectly straight.

@th3s41nt 2 ай бұрын

Because he’s not at balance point. When your before balance point the front wants to come down naturally. So before he runs out of RPM and the bike is already dropping he has some RPM left to add to slow the decent. That’s why it’s important to just let it start to come back down before you get too close to redline
