i just picked up a 03 xr 50 for 300 bucks what should i do to the motor i'm having a hard time gitting wheelies up so what should i do to the motor thats not to much money? don't wnna put a bigbore kit in i already got a big motor in my dirt 50

 

Its not the motor, trust me. It just takes practice to get use to what makes it come up. Once u learn to get it to come up, it gets easier and easier each time. Just keep practicing, u'll get it....After u get use to it, then u can think about upgrading the engine.....But u dont need to upgrade the engine just because u dint think it has enough power to wheelie.......Seat time is what u need, trust me....=-)

 

And a 50stunt rear brake setup. Puts a brake handle on the bars and helps with controlling Wheelies

 

douggie bring the fiddy down i got a sweet lot we can go to i was just on mine the other day first time in months

 

Just go ride it. 50s can't really power wheelies up, its all about weight transfer and timing. Buy some rear pegs so you can work staggereds, they were a lot easier for me to learn brake control with, then I transferred them to sitdowns/etc. You'll get it down.

 

go 2 50stunt.com u will find everything u need

 

go buy a big bar kit.. 50 stunt handbrake, 50 stunt pegs and u will have everything u need but seat time dude..... u can make anything wheelie son

 

ya hit up 50stunt.com and minibikeoutlet.com and get sum pics up of the progress of it and takes a lil time to get use too and just get it rebuilt and be good to go..

 

wont lift up in in 1st will in 2nd if i pull real hard and sit way back on the seat but i like first for slow stuff and were starten stoped and using are feet on to help the bike up

what gear is the best and what the best way to do it? def lots of seat time! just wanna know the best way to git it up

 

big bar kit and 50stunt advanced rear handbreak setup and like DMC said all you will need is seat time

 

1st gera is tricky, most of us learned in 2nd gear to do straight wheelies. Then after we got the BP and brake control, we started doing the 1st gear wheelies. Once you learn the timing in 1st gear, its really easy to get it to come up. 1st gear is just harder to balance side/side because u are moving slower....Seat time, seat time........Just keep practicing, u'll get it in time for sure....=-)

 

he's right...my 50 is all stock and seat time will take care of it

 

imo theres really isn't a "best" way to do it. all riders are different and have different styles. stock 50's can wheelie in all 3 gears (including 1st from a dead stop) but theres a lot of factors on how you bring it up. because the 50 has no clutch timing is everything. it also depends on speed, body postion, how hard you pull on the bars, etc etc.. like everyone said.. SEAT time is the "best" and ONLY way to learn. you'll learn it fast.. just gotta keep trying. good luck

 

i'm just gunna ride it everyday like i'v been thanks for the help guys! ohh ya and just bought a bbr bar kit from ebay can't wait!

 

Yeah just stick with the seat practice. You will be surprised at how fast u start to catch onto it. Trist me it starts to get alot more fun once you learn the ropes....After alot of learning on thr 50. Then you can graduate to the big bikes, hehe.....My big bikes are still minty, thank goodness...=-)

 

have fun. don't forget to wear knee pads..

 

Plus one ******* thousand! I destroyed my shins the first couple days on the fiddy! I almost always wear my icon shin guards on it now
