I am trying to learn how to wheelie, I have watched numberous youtube clips on learning how to wheelie. One was rolling the throttle which involves getting up to speed in first and close and then rapidly open the throttle which is to advance for me. I want my first wheelie to be controlled and safe, so the better method for what I want to accomplish is the "clutching tech." which involves while in first going a mere 10 to 12 mph pull the clutch in halfway and release the clutch. However, i have been unable to perform a wheelie I havent got the front wheel up, not even a inch. The clutch one only cause some slight wobbling of the front... the question is what am I doing wrong am I going to slow? Who know the rt of the wheelie in a safe controlled manner pls ???

what's up, i'm pretty new to riding but if definitly got the urge to start wheelieing. I also watched the videos on youtobe as many as i could find if i remember at least one of them said to get the rpm's up around 8k and then clutch it i'm getting ready to start tring just waiting to i get enough time to take it somewhere resonably safe and out of the public eye. let me know if you start having any success.

hey bro,hope u tried my tried my reciepe for a helium filled front tire,just remember to cover the back brake because if u do as i advised,it will come up quick and fast,fo sho.let me know dog,just keep in mind that you are just learning,and that a six in hi,six inch long wheelie is still a wheelie,and the big cool ones have to start out short.good luck bro,and as always,coming home at night riding 15 short ones,is better than the er after a failed attempt at one long gainer

The safest way to do it other then popping the clutch. This is how you do it. From a dead stop bring it up to about 7 8000 rpm then cut the throttle off all the way then instantly gas it again. But no more gas then you had before you cut off. Doesnt really matter how little gas you give you will feel the front end get light. And the more you try it you will pop the front end up using your suspension. This is a classic power whellie. One gear and the front end stays up for as long as you keep the gas on or run out of gear. Dont worry about balance point,just dont go over it. You can cover the rear brake but in a power wheelie when you release throttle engine braking brings you down and sometimes hard. This is the best way to beat the chit out of your steering bearing lol. haha they can take alot give that a shot and you will be surprised. Also do it on a back empty road. With this method you will wheelie.
