some wheelie tips pls..?

[bugjuice]

cheers guys.. still plugin away at it, but definitely improved 10 fold already since Bruce taught me the new way to get it up. The squidin tonight kinda showed that.. Managed to get a few decent ones in, and none of the wheelies I did tonight gave me the 'oooo shit' feeling. I managed to hold onto most of them as long as I could. The pic was one of the best ones (I think..), so it shows that I'm starting to get there.. and I think that one I rode out until the redline too!!

thanx for the support too

but also the point of the thread is for others to give it a go too, so hell, if I can do it, pretty much anyone can do it!!

how can i pull them well on a hyosung 250?, i can get them like a foot until i lose power , this is using the clutch

no idea.. I don't know how grunty your bike is, so if you can already get it up, but run out of steam, try just yanking it harder and getting your weight further back on the seat..??

Make sure your stationary, red line it and drop the clutch

yeah but being so used to dirt bikes, leaning and standing on the mighty comet doesnt feel right, but pactice will make perfect i guess.

as for the redline it thing, dont you know you shouldnt redline it when not moving, it hurts your baby . but i am doing it a peak revs (around 8k), but seem i got something wrong with one of the air intakes i dont wana rev it too much

Flash, when did you get yourself a bike?

To be honest mate, I'ld focus on your riding skills first before you start worrying about wheelies and shit.

However, if you're deadset that that's what you want to do then come out on one of our rides sometime and we'll give you some tips.

[flash]

dont worry i know how to ride...
ive got a dirtbike so will relearn on that, but seem i work every weekennd i dont get much time on it anymore. my dirtbikes like half the wieght and has more pick me up power. i actually puled a wicked wheelie outside school, but it only lasted like 1-2 secs before i came down smashed my balls on the tank

edit: and this isnt my first bike
