Never hurts to lift the handle bars as well.
Yes, yes I did.
I'm thinking about buying something really small to learn them on. Maybe a grom...
If you want some advice on how to wheelie like a pro.. Ask [MENTION=8989]Kazza[/MENTION], she is a pro at getting the front wheel HIGH in the air !! Blah Blah

Guy makes a thread about wheeling fails, does an OK wheelie, and then tells you how to do a better wheelie.
Nvm on the rest I wrote. Not worth it.

Although I agree that lowering the pressure may help with stability, its not the cure all. When you see folks doing pivots, circles, and other acts, the lower pressure gives you some wiggle room with the controls, but in the end, you gotta find the "other" center of gravity that keeps it stable in the upright position. That comes with experience and giant pizza cutter sprocket!
We were talking about wheel spin when popping the clutch. I think I can stop it with lower tire pressure, better body position, and better technique. FZ09Bandit was telling me that I was getting wheel spin because my tires suck.
Honestly, I'll probably just try to get another foot or so of height and then call it a day. Probably won't go for balance point wheelies until I have a bike I don't care about to learn on.

Copy that...
However, it seems like thats mainly the surface you're on and tire pressure may not fix that (chirps). IDK? Like a cage in a parking garage, some surfaces are more slippery and make noise even though the tire has suitable traction.
Useless but IMO riding to and from a location on a low tire is not worth it, but that's just me. Good luck!
Seriously, am I EVER going to live that down?
All I did was accidentally hit first whilst trying to speed up a steep hill. And having you there to witness me made it all the better LOL
Nothing to it
new rider here chiming in...
I watched a bunch of youtube tutorials this spring before getting the bike and then tried dumping the clutch in some big open empty parking lots. First things first...my right foot is touching the rear brake. Rev it up quick and as you see it start to approach 6-7k in first, dump the clutch and the front end should pop up. From then on it's just trying to get to that sweet spot where you maintain your speed. I haven't gotten there yet, but I've kept the shiny side up so far!!
I bought my bike (for cheap) after the original owner tried his first (and only) wheelie that way... Unfortunatly, no video, just a broken wrist and a bike that lost half its value...
$1,500 in parts later and a bunch of time... (Not shown is the rt mirror, rt bar end, bent main stay, etc)...
almost every stunter will tell you learn how to do a power wheelie first then go to clutch. power willies are actually very easy and a lot less likely to crash on Versus a clutch wheelie. get that thing up about 10 grand back of the throttle to load the front suspension up and then hammer intuit that front end will walk straight up smooth as silk. you don't have to worry about spinin the tires but spin the tires actually helps with doing a wheelie give it a little bit of slip but then grabs it's almost like an instant wheelie that's where clutch wheelie can be dangerous. you're not talking about stuntin so you shouldn't be worried about tire pressure for just learning to wheelie, get the fundamentals first technicalities second
