Wheelie

[choppers_rule]

Can some of you wheelie masters teach me how to do a wheelie?? I want to learn it so bad but don't want to crash:yes:

[Skinny]

I second this. :yes:

I'd like to learn some insider tips without looping my baby.

I've watched it....still cannot do it.
My bike does it on it's own when I don't expect it :crazy:

[MEP1000]

Watched that video a few times :yell: Still can't wheelie :idunno:

[stuntmoto]

Mep, no excuses. The 05 Gixxer 1000 has more than enough wheelie power! :rad: Just open the throttle way up in a low gear and lean back. (In an appropriate environment, of course. :yes: )

[stuntmoto]

There are a couple of ways to do it. What most people learn first is a power wheelie - powerful bike, throttle open and lean back. Then you can do other things that lead eventually to being able to balance and keep your RPMs constant (or even slow down), like bouncing the suspension to transfer weight back, slipping the clutch, using the back brake and moving your weight side to side.

[Willixer600]

I use my back brake and throttle controll. as far as not wanting to crash, Ive seen people crash when trying to wheelie for the first time. I'D say you have a little chance of crashing.

:mecry: Would have enough power if The Mep didn't weigh 300lbs :haha: The Mep will continue to try :yes:

[Kadbugg]

Mepito...if I can do it you can do it. I learned at the Kmart by us....great parking lot...just go afterhours...people tend to complain.

[Skinny]

Took the bike out a bit this weekend and could not get the thing to come off the ground to save my life. I'm trying to slip the clutch and it's just not working. I can hammer on the throttle all day long and I can't seem to get my front end up (for a roll-on wheelie). I know this bike is capable...it's just rider error. Oh well, there is always next weekend. :yes:

O great, one more thing you can do The Mep can't :yell:

[choppers_rule]

Hmmm...using the rear brake is a good point so I don't flipo the bike. Dude....we need to get together & learn how to wheelie.

[ArinSjorensen]

only 300?

[MEP1000]

only 300?


:twofinger: OK OK 305 are you happy now?

[v8zman]

i dont know how to do stunts

[xqsme]

I can't even do it with my xr80:naughty:

[MEP1000]

i dont know how to do stunts


Stop lying fool :haha:

[Jane Honda]

Oh, bloody hell!!!! You guys are scaring the hell out of me. Wheelies are the devil!!! They're the devil I tell ya!!! Just ask my rear end.








Please, please, be careful doing these... Thats all I ask. :rad:

[xqsme]

I'm good doing Wet wheelies. It fun too..:laughing:

1st things 1st. expect to crash. if u dont' have that rolling around in your head, u lose respect for the bike and yourself. 2nd, don't push and get frusturated. 3rd, don't have someone video record u for a while, camera make u push it and do more dumb s*i%. eheheh that pretty much sums it up.


alot is just timing, knowing where the bikes power curve is, and a bit of body english sometimes.

just grow the balls and run with it...................... eheheh did i mention, dont push it? eheheh


take 1 trick at a time till u feal comfortable to move on. even do curtain tricks with the bike straped in the back of a truck or on a stable stand that will hold u and the bike up till u really get it down.

it may help to ride right next to someone accually pulling a wheelie and then watch them clutch a wheelie to. ive done that with a couple buddies and it seems to give a better picture in the head as well.

anymore ?'s just pm me.

[Kadbugg]

Curtain Tricks?

[Bones]

Ride a dirt bike first, then it comes easy

About the power curve - it's the torque you want, NOT the horsepower. Torque is what overcomes inertia.

I could do it on my dirt bike no problem. I just can't seem to get it on the street yet. :thinking:

[choppers_rule]

The reason I'm buying a sport bike is because I want to do wheelie:)
What's the chance for a beginner to crash the bike? I still haven't broken in my motor yet, I'll have to try it.

Windburnt, do you wanna give me a private lesson:yes:

[Xusia]

Come down to Eugene on bike night - I'm sure SOMEONE would help you! :)

good idea. i don't get to beaverton much but if i head that way ill pm ya. didn't mean horsepower, just the power curve in general. :thumbup:

[GON2JL]

What bike are you learning on? sometimes the clutch is your best friend... every bike has its Happy spot in the torque curve, you just gotta fine it =)

[choppers_rule]

Thank you all....I'll be attempting it on my ZX6R not on my Harley:)

:mecry: Would have enough power if The Mep didn't weigh 300lbs :haha: The Mep will continue to try :yes:


Use that to your advantage you have long arms. Just sit on the passenger seat and that alone should do it but if it doesn't then just hit the gas a little.:iorun: :haha:

:lol::lol:

[DBARider]

Hey all.. I pulled a wheelie for the first time this morning.. First gear... roll on... popped up... put her down... Damn!!! :OMG:

Rush.. rush rush.... can't sit here at work now.. wanna go for more... :drool:

[Skinny]

NICE!! Good job man! :rad:

I wouldn't be able to sit in my chair either. Maybe you can take it out during lunch and do a few more...you know, just for practice sake. :yes:

[TwIsT]

Nice! Now try to keep that throttle going while you're up there!!:thumbup:

[DBARider]

Oh yeah... I'll keep working at it. It surprised the hell out of me :eek: then I was giddy like a little school girl.. :blonde2:

You sir are an ass :twofinger: :twofinger: :twofinger:

[choppers_rule]

Well....I finally be able to lift the front wheel probably about a foot high:) I just pull the clutch rev it up to about 12,000RPM, let go the clucth...and there she goes. I want to feel comfortable at this first before I bring the front wheel higher or to find the BP. I ride my chopper more than my Ninja.. so not enough practice time but that's the reason I bought a sport bike...to do some sick wheelie:)

[Flyte Risk]

Drop a tooth on the front of that 6R and it'll be way easier. I had a bad experience once and will never try to clutch it up. I almost looped it. I'm sure Lobes recalls the incident as he had better then front row seats for it.

[lobes]

I probably could have reached over and pulled the front wheel down if I wanted to. I would say thats better than front row seats.

[Drakhen]

:mecry: Would have enough power if The Mep didn't weigh 300lbs :haha: The Mep will continue to try :yes:

I'm probably way late in pointing this out, but weight shouldn't be a real factor. I accidentally pulled my first wheelie with a passenger. Sure, the weight bias made a difference, but I've seen plenty of stunters pullin wheelies with passengers sitting on the tank too.

I've been trying it with roll-ons since I first saw this thread. I still can't get it up (*awkward*). '02 Gixxer 1K. I was worried it was cuz I was maybe heavier (250lbs) but still, the bike has a lot of power lol.

I did get my first accidental wheelie the other week, however. Was riding with a friend and dropped into a nice hill while dropping down a gear and hammering it. LOL OH ****. That's quite the surprise when you've never felt that sensation before. (I've never been a dirtbike rider either) Also, this was prolly at 100mph or so. I literally giggled like a girl for about five minutes afterwards. Never been so giddy in my life. I feel like I handled it very well...just thought "ok this is a wheelie, put the bike down, NOW". LOL good times, I'm rambling now.

I've never owned a litre bike, but judging from what I've heard and seen, a rolling wheelie is very hard on a litre bike because the power band is in the higher rpms. I think that's why they mostly clutch wheelie the litres.
My bike has a lot of torque in the lower rpms that I can roll wheelie it almost anytime. I tried a clutch wheelie once and it scared the sh*t out of me.
I wouldn't mind finding a place that's a flat long wide road that people can gather and practice the wheelies and stuff.:yes: Scoutin' time!!:ride:

[Bigmanny]

Come on now, I'm 350 lbs. with gear on, and I've done one for over 3/4 of a mile. for the guys (or girls) on 600's or 1000's clutch ups are easy, start in second gear, revs at 5500 to 6000, roll the throtle on and at the same time just dab. not grab, the clutch lever, just enough to run the rpm's to 10k or so, by that time the wheel should be on it's way up and the rev's on there way down, now just balence with the throttle and rear brake. don't forget to shift up or you will come crashing down on your naughty bits. never good

See thats wierd cause I didn't have a problem with my 02. I had gone down one tooth in the front sprocket. This 05 is killing me though

tiny,

Don't lie, you can't do a 3/4 mile wheelie... :hysterical:

[MA$TER_E]

No...

[MA$TER_E]

Really though...

[MA$TER_E]

I'm not a wheelie anything...

[MA$TER_E]

I think today I road my first one...

[MA$TER_E]

I was leaving work and hit it and kept it and road one for a while. Still more of a power wheelie but hey...

[MA$TER_E]

Not everyone can do a walking pace 12oClock wheelie...

[MA$TER_E]

And if I do... I'm going to need new leathers because I will fill them so full of poo they'll have to be bleed to release the pressure then cut off of me...

[MA$TER_E]

And besides... I heard through the SV rider forum that every time someone wheelies an SV God kills a kitten...

[MA$TER_E]

So I feel bad about today...

[MA$TER_E]

What do you think NK :yes::yes::yes:

[MA$TER_E]

Should I feel bad? :giggle:

[ThaSick1]

I like to have god doin things for me:D

[NinjaKitty]

:wife: No killing the kittens !:shifty:

[ThaSick1]
