hey , does anyone know how to do a wheelie on a 50 not a sports bike..

 

thanks to all the peeps on this site im "bustin out blocks" wit the best of em. go back and check out some old posts. theres tons of good info in there. good luck

 

balance point is non-existant if you dont have enough torque.. im 235 lbs and im tellin you i cant wheelie for more than a few seconds. im almost positive itll work better when i get my big more kit ill be able to go forever. dont listen to them if they say its just skill... how many fat people do you see on 50s that are able to wheelie for a long time (or even just skinny people that weigh alot because they are tall) that their 50 is still stock engine, or even just slightly modified with stock sprockets? not many. the only way i can get up the front end in 2nd is powershifting, even pulling up doesnt help alot... and in first gear i have to let off the throttle wait for the clutch to come down almost all the way, and be at almost a complete stop then pull up on the handle bars and gas it. or going up a small dirt bump or something to that effect well hitting the gas and leaning back. trust me, if your heavy you need torque to do wheelies. i do not care what people say- its true.

 

lmao my dad can wheelie and hes 260lb its hard for him but he can do it till 2nd gear is out he can wheelie by just leaneing back lol i dont know why it is so hard for you guys to do wheelis (meens cat walk in old school) i just sit a inch from the back fender and give it gas and lean back if u cant do that then put ur feet back soo more weghjit on the back well if u cant read this then o well

 

one thing ive noticed about my buddys 50's is that a pipe gives you much much better throttle control/response, much easier to wheelie with.

 

wee 50 is right. The power helps but its not required. There is a balance point. I could wheelie just as long when my bike was stock and I am almost 200lbs. The trick is feathering the brake while balancing it out with the throttle. If you cant wheelie stock, you still wont be able to wheelie far with the bore. Sit back almost on the fender and roll on the throttle. Keep your knees in and use it to balance. Also pratice, pratice, pratice.

 

dude, it's like wheelie 101 on a fiddy. afew seconds, need more time on it then. there is a balance point, an you can wheelie a fiddy longer than anything. now, try the slow wheelie, using rear brake to hang up at 12 oclock....lol

wheelie forever

 

buzzman is right. when i first got mine i was so convinced u could never do a wheelie on it. bullshit. the fatter u are the easyer it sould be to bring it up. the farther u lean back, the easyer it is. im almost 210 pounds and i can ride a wheelie till i run out of gas. however, i can not do it with stock bars. i have to have bmx bars. just somethin im used to. another thing. KEEP YOUR ARMS STR8!! my fiddy is 100% stock. its scarry as hell findin that point, but as soon as u get it, its all over with. u must use the back brake in sync with the throttle or u aint gonna ride em that long. just keep practicing man. u WILL get it. i promice.

 

Yeah, NJfiddyfreak, nobody's harshing on you, but whatever doubts you have are in your head. Power will do nothing for you if you can't do it stock. Don't know what else to say, other than you'll see. I guess you got to find out for yourself.

 

bawahha,, i was skeptical too.. now i got mad blocks!! its all practice.. and like they said the heavier you are easier it is to get up.. now i can just cruise along, crack the gas the rip the bars and im up on 1... practice makes perfect.. i spent about 2 hrs on the fiddy yesterday and now i got about 20- 30 ft rollin a stoppy..

 

damn 20-30 foot stoppies?? i havent practiced a whole lot on them, but i can only do about a 8 footer. i think my brake lever is too short cuz its waaay more touchy than the stocker. about how fast u rollin?? 3rd gear im assuming??

 

i can get 20 odd ft outta the top of 2nd.. longer ones were in 3rd,, but 30 ft aint ****!! i saw the vid of one guy goin 100ft!!!!! what you might want to try is adjusting your brakes out a bit.. so you dont get too far into them. mines at the point when im rollin one the lever is almost touching the back of my fingers. keeps me from gettin into the brakes too far..

 

to the guy who said i was harsh - i dont mean to be harsh but if thats you in the picture on your posts, you look like a dick. and every post youve ever written you always talk like a dick. just dont mean to be harsh tho ya kno?
:-D

and by the way, leaning back with me doesnt help because then the front end comes up too much and i land on my ***. i ride on dirt i have no pavement. its impossible to hold wheelies going over bumps even if they are maybe a inch ground level differnce. trust me when i get my big bore kit itll be better. unlevel surface ='s changed balance point - changed balance point = fall - so basically ... torque means you dont need as much of a balance point. look at quads for instance, you dont need a balance point, torque keeps up the wheelies if they arnt like 10 to 12 o'clockers

 

uhmm actually...i heard..its harder to wheelie with the big bore kit... ........and wheelies on the 50 are all about rear brake control bro....im telling u cuz i had them down for a bit..just practicing everyday ...and after i stopped...i need to start all over again....specially after putting my HD springs...

 

umm i have never used the rear brake but i can under stand whyu i aint as heavy as u guys but when i wheelie i sit about 2inches from the fender so i dont flip[ over and how do you do stoppies for long distance i can olny do ones straight up then down and NJ u said you cant wheelie on dirt or over bumps i can do both but then a aging imm not as heavy well just pratice and NJ stop giving everyone bullshit

 

opps forgot to post this sry

NJ i may not be able to type the best but at lest i dont diss people

 

dude you need to pratice. I can do wheelies on uneven ground no problem. Im not saying dont get the bore, Im saying that youre giving bad advice. POWER IS GOOD BUT NOT REQUIRED! As for quads not having a balance point thats I know that first hand. My advice, DO A REAL WHEELIE and not a TREELIE. (trying to hard to wheelie)

 

What he said and i cant belive someone said quads dont have balance points lmfao

 

weeman, why are u false flaggin with that avatar?? if u just got a fiddy on saturday, theres no way that is yer fiddy in the pic. biatch.

 

Why would more power help you find the balance point?

If you can get the front up by leaning back that's half the battle. Once you're up there feather the gas and brake and go.
Wether you get the front up by leaning back or power (bore kit) you still have to find the balance point in order to keep the tire up.


Ask Rodg C.C. if there's a balance point.... he'll tell ya.
