Shit I can wheelie!

[loosebruce]

Nice swanman, it's all a bit of practice mate, give it another few months of practice and hey presto, as fucked up as it sounds, the faster youre going the easier it is. Say 100kph/2nd goto full throttle snap off then slam it home and she'll come up real nice and smooth, or give the clutch a bit of slip and same deal.
Oh yeah have you got full leathers and a back protecter, shit like that comes in handy every now and then oh and watch dem crests out Kaiua way :disapint:

Just don't rush it or get too ahead of yourself, take ya time and like you said relax

Thanks for the kind words.

The interesting thing about the clutch wheelie is that you can start off much slower than doing power ones. At this stage I am a little wary of power wheelies in 2nd as the sweet spot of 7000rpm means you are going over 100kmh. Still I guess I'll have to find out for myself.

Aint nothin' like the thrill of learnin' to wheelie. RightOn!

Back brake covered and gently depressed eases the front down without the bang - alledgedly.

Hay!!! stealing my handy hints......Imagine the poor advice you would give if i told you to come down gently ya give it heaps of gas and change down a gear ......



you can also click the nxt gear....duz the samething.....

For the CBR, your supposed to be at a complete stop, rev it to 10,000rpm, then let go of the clutch as quick as possible. Yet to try it out

Im to worried about breaking my ole girl so its better to leave her on 2 wheels. But power wheelies wouldnt be a problem.

I wouldn't if i was you mate..... What you need to do is be rolling a bit first maybe at about 3k revs odd and then do the clutch dump method.... The 4 hundy uses less revs to get up but i got a good one going the other day didn't have the balls to change gear so put the front down when i ran out of revs.

Good on ya swanman i can't wait till i have a big enough bike to do power wheelies...... it's heaps of fun thugh aye

Erm - I think you'll find that when I did my first wheelie you either hadn't been born or were still nuzzling your mothers breast! Covering the back brake was natural for me then

I've only ever done one "proper clutch slipping" wheelie on the Bird, and that's mainly because I don't want to bin it and no longer have the urge, oh - and as I told you I slammed the front end down the only time I have slipped the clutch. Basically because I'm a muppet and forgot that I used to use the back brake to ease the front down all those years ago.

swanny, we should catch up sometime - I'm trying to get the balls to wheelie, but I have to remind myself not to put my knee down cos I don't have sliders on yet! We should catch up and swap pointers some time!

This is how ya wheelie a Honda 50. Note the saftey boots and shaggy helmet. Bush shirts were standard riding gear in the 70's

[mikey]

maybe my clutch is rooted but dumping it at 10k doesnt get it up... viagra perhaps?

Congrats!! finally got it eh!Think about what bruce said about using second and a bit more speed,it is easier.Look forward to a demo next time we're out.
