help a girl wheelie

fouroh8 · 10-23-2009, 10:46 AM

sitting as far back as possible which is basically the edge of the seat/fender and pulling up at low speed in first, can get the tire maybe a foot up. have tried and tried on flat and that's as far as it'll come up. cheating going up an incline it'll come up gradually to bp.

was thinking of -1 sprocket in the front for more torque.

any suggestions?

on my buddies stocker you have to find where the powerband is, and you gotta pull hard to get it up. or a lot of people kick it up to second and pull. a lot of people rock stock sprockets so save your money for an 88 kit instead.

just set normal and put the bike in 1st and shift to 2nd but dont let go hold it so it doesnt shift yet and rev it and drop the shifter acts as if you clutched it up! and the its all throttle control and rear brake from there!

That's how I do it!

Just rock backwards and give it a little throttle. 50s wheelie super easy. You don't need sprockets or anything. It's not the power that gets it up, it's the technique. Keep practicing.

theres really not much too it..

I usually load up the front and as Im moving back, I give it a good throttle twist, and calibrate my height/BP with the rear brake.

practice, practice, practice.

what he said! I have been practicing on his and getting better but still nowhere near good at it yet. This is from yesterday. I'm trying to find a good deal so I can get my own to practice more.

Practice, practice, and practice....Everyone has a different "comfortable" riding style. So what works easier for one person, may actually be harder for you. I just kept trying things in different ways until i felt which way i was comfortable with....Granted this is an old video and i really couldnt keep the bike up near as long as i wanted to. BUt, practice makes perfect....eventually....=-)

Most of that was in 2nd gear. Back then i had no use for 1st gear unless i was circling combos. 2nd gear was much smoother in straights.....As for the BBR's....Its actually a complete BBR front end.......The seals blew out on them after a good 4-5months of abuse. But thats a known problem with BBR. I changed the seals to some stock crf70 seals, and i havent had a problem with them sense. Word is BBR uses some cheap POS seals...........Other then those seals, i have no complaints...=-)

Just keep trying over & over & over & you will get the hang of it . After watching that video i got a tip for ya . Come to a dead stop then start the wheelie & cover the foot brake . You will need throttle & brake control to pull it off .

ur from jersey go ride with Alie she'll show you how

ReSpECT · 11-05-2009, 11:56 PM

Hrmmm, i think you are trying too hard. I see you jerking on the bike, put i dont see you leaning back as you jerk on the bars. Jerking the bars does you know good, if u dont lean back as you do it. You have to get your weight to transfer farther back. And no, sitting as far back as you can isnt necessarily gonna do the trick (though it helps)..=-)

1: You can pull up on the bars (harder) and lean back as you do it. But you will have to give it less gas. Or it will come up too fast for your experience (right now)

2: You can pull up (not so hard), lean back and give it more gas. It will not come up as fast as #1. However, you will run out of gear alot faster because you were already so high in the RPM range when u started your wheelie.

3: You can practice them in 2nd gear. The more momentum the bike has, the easier it is to wheelie. Simply because you have speed helping you get the front of the bike up. However, the side/side balance is the tricky part.....

4: I THINK YOU SHOULD TRY THIS.............Put both your feet on the ground and pull the bike up. It will wheelie, but u will be dragging your feet. We call it cheating, LoL. But it will help you get use to where the balance point is on the bike and you can learn a little throttle control. Over time, start pulling your feet off the ground a few inches and see if u can ride the wheelie.....=-)

lol i like the last vid. it took me a while to get over the fear of the front wheel coming up and leaning backwards but once you do that you can keep going farther and farther. i mean i'm not even good at riding but it looks like you're keeping your body pretty straight instead of leaning back. where in jersey are you? i got a good friend on the shore.

now just try it with your left foot down and ur right foot using the brake to keep u from going all the way over (aka a fag drag) then eventually youll be able to do both feet up.
