Picked up a fiddy and I can't keep it in the air. Hook me up with some tips.

 

2nd gear is my favorite. Get it way up and ride the brake. It is pretty simple to pick up and it is a blast.

 

there is a clutch, go into second, and shift up like half way and it will be sorta like a clutch, rev it up then let it out, I have only wheelied a fiddy once, I reved it with the clutch in first, and instead of letting it back out, I shifted into second and I road it for a decent amount of time

 

They have a centrifical force clutch. All ya have to do is wack the throttle then wait for the hit. Then pull up a little and off you go. I will have to admit I was one of those guys that would drag my feet to get comfortable with finding the balance point .
Once you get that figured out use your legs to balance out the wheelie. Then i moved on to using the rear brake .
Good luck and be prepared to get hurt by that little toy
later , mike

 

yeah it was harder to wheelie then i initially thought it would be, it took me almost a week to really start ridin long, smooth wheelies, i love that little thing though

 

I would not recommend using Wheelie boys technique. That little thing will put you on your *** in a hurry. Just gas it and yank on the bars. It is not a bad idea to drag your feet for a little while.

 

Sit way back on the seat. Grab a handfull gas and pull on the bars. Always keep some presure on the back brake. 2nd gear is fun.............3rd gear wide open is the ****. Good luck if you loop it.

 

naw i think the easiest way to go is in second gear, put a little pressure downward on the shifter till you feel neutral, rev just a tad and lift your foot, just like droppin the clutch, requires zero effort, no tugging on the bars required! :D

 

I crash & get more fucked up on fiddy's than i do on anything else.

those mo fo's mean bid-ness when you crash!

Loop the things, end up on my face doing endo's. its all good though.

 

I hear ya 1000ceecee. Just when you think youve got it wooped it will put you on your *** likes its nothing.

 

yeah dont ever underestimate the extreme power of your fiddy, as soon as you do, WAM!!

 

yea, just read my post

 

2nd day out on it and I was hanging them a little but. I'm reving it between first and second then up I go. Side to side balance is the bitch now. I'll get thanks for the info though it help a lot.

 

yeah the balance is pretty tricky, you have to just use your knees for balance, sit way back on the seat

 

Doesn't anybody like the method of shifting past 3rd into neutral and reving the F' out of it? It comes right up once I drop my foot to put it back into 3rd. It's real predictable too.
Once it's up I just work on balance.
Mind you I'm light............155lbs.
I doesn't take much tork for it to come right up.

im more of fan of the second gear wheelies, everytime i loop in third i remind myself NO THIRD GEAR!
