The faster you get up on one the better the wheelie will be. Get used to the speed the wheel comes off the ground. As long as you don't keep the throttle pinned it won't flip on ya. Just let off a little as its comin up but don't chop the throttle.

heey thanks im gonna try that.. i always thought you were supposed to close the throttle all the way once you had it up then get back on it once it starts comin down :/

Different bikes have different balance points. This is why the F4i is called the F4izzy. Because the BP is soo easy to get to.....Gixxers are for track wh0res. When it falls, it breaks, LMAO...=-)

gixers are for the track?!?! daang.. well.. i didnt really wanna get into all that crazy circle sit on yer seat stuff i jus wanna be able to like ride a wheelie out cuz it looks cool.. plus it rains up here a lot so cant get much practice.. anyhow maybe ill get one of those buzz boxes that make noise when you reach the bp? they make those right? that would be hecka sick..
