Anyone got tips on Wheelies on a fiddy? I cant see to keep em up too long.......

 

Rev that thing wide open in 1st then bang 2nd while at the same time throwing all of your weight back.......j/k.........that thing will kick your *** off the back so fast its pathetic.........

What I usually do is have it in 2nd gear and give it gas while at the same time leaning back and the front end comes up pretty easy..also KEEP THE REAR BRAKE COVERED...when I first got my 50 I'd eat it all the time.......now I can pretty much crawl while doin a wheelie.....thats just my .02 cents Im sure other people could give you better instruction.and use your weight to leanto keep it str8

 

fiddyz are all brake control and balance point. you only have 3 hp working for ya, so it's not gonna be suitable for power wheelies (acceleration).

the trick is being able to slow it down while in a wheelie.

 

yeah but you have to make that 3hp work for ya on the highchair wheelies, man those are OWNING me

 

dont put wieght on the pegs...cause if you do and the wieght is uneven the bike falls left/right...at least thats what ive found and my wheelies is GA'BAGE

 

I was reading that, going is this guy serious? Then....

that thing will bang you on your *** faster than pete townsend gets on a 6 year old.

I get it in 2nd, ride the brake alittle so the rev somes up a bit, lean back & pull - comes up smooth every time. COVER THAT BRAKE. lean way back & balance it down the road. You'll have blocks for days!

 

Yeah, my biggest prob was keeping that hoe straight....and yes, now that I think of it, I bet it's cause I had my weight on the pegs

 

balance left to right with your knee's - movin' em in & out. I do have to admit I stole the technique from big rodge. works pimp.

 

It's all practice practice practice. Sometimes I get it sometimes I don't, I was getting the hang of it on Sunday but that damn 50 saddle was starting to hurt like a bitch so I called it quits for the day.

 

I noticed when i replaced my rear spring with a stiffer one (Applied Racing?) they came up A LOT easier and faster!

BUt yeah, sit your *** on the very end of the seat.

 

Are any of you guy's slipping it into neutral between 2nd 3rd or even past 3rd to snap it up? Like a clutch?
Ya know what I'm talking about..... that area right before it will slip into gear?
That's what I do. I don't even have to pull on the bars it just pops up once I drop my foot and gas it.

Am I killing my 50 doing this? It seems like everyone else leans back and throttles up.

i do the same thing and my fiddyz got like 2000 miles on it.

think it's slipping just a little bit. still enough bite to keep the front up though.

 

My friend trys to "clucth" it up like that it works good but hes been doing it for a while now and his bike makes some weird sounds when its idleing. We think his tranny is going. It probably dosent help that he has a 88 kit tho

 

I heard a nasty crunch last night on of my bad wheelies. I thought it was all done. It sounded fine 2 seconds later. Maybe the broken teeth just sank to the bottom!


Learning is fun.
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!! I have 5 foot wheelies on lock!

 

ahahaha, Nothin like pulling the drain plug and havin' cold steel come out of the crank case. "Must be extras", I say.

 

i think i got it down, but im revving the **** out of 2nd gear, so when i shift, should i bring up the front more to compensate for shifting?

 

Just keep the front end a high as possible, this way you'll use less motor and more balance. It'll stay up forever and you can eventually learn to roll into a 12'

 

does anyone take air out of the rear tire?

 

Nope I just run the suggested PSI, the rear is just 15 PSI anyway, how much lower do you want to go?

 

I took some air out. It helps a little.
I'm only 150lbs. so it's not that big of a deal for me.
