Re: Clutch wheelies

I have a four hweeler but it has an automatic clutch. o I am starting to us it to learn balance point, throttle control, and brake control. I have this little 110cc mini bike, but I was told by a friend it sucks to wheelie on. He had 2 50cc bikes and he said he could wheelie all day, but that other one he could barely get it up. so..... I would trade it for a 50, but its not mine. So all I really have is that 4 wheeler. Its a honda rancher.

Re: Clutch wheelies

kirny maybe you should do what works for you. once i took my guage off my bike i started doing **** i never thought i was ready for. maybe not because i took it off but it worked. and everyone always starts learning wheelies trying to look at your gauges. so if there off you wont look at them. i have never ran out of gas. and if your worried about temp just hard wire your bike where the fan is always on when the bike is on. so talk **** if you want but i was just telling him what worked for me.

wrong, not everyone starts wheelies looking at a guage. i never was once concerned about my guage when i learned to wheelie. maybe you never ran out of gas sooo what, doesnt mean its not a likely situation for ppl not running guages. bottom line, if you dont have enough self control to controlw where your yes point when u go to wheelie maybe wheelies on sportbikes is a little advanced for you

i know. im jelous. my hayabusa needs a fuel gage cause i go full throttle for three seconds and a gallon is gone. i lose track of time stunting and my gas light on my r6 comes on. i need it too. ran out of gas on my 900 and flew over the bars at 40mph.

Re: Clutch wheelies

The advice is awesome. I tried today, I was at 5-10 mph, and I dropping it at 4000 rpm. I really want to wait for my cage b4 I really starting getting it up there, but Im getting impatient. I bought a fi cage off ebay friday, and he still has not contacted me. He has good reviews though. But anyway I appreciate it.

Re: Clutch wheelies

O btw the front tire barely comes off the ground at 4000, below that the bike just lunges forward and kinda shutters. I dont know if Im giveing enough gas or something. I figured it would pull it up and I could barely blap the throttle to keep it up?

Re: Clutch wheelies

gixxer guy_07 i wasnt talking **** at all i was saying not looking at your gauges is a good thing no you shouldnt take them off but yes you should not be worried what exact rpm your at just like sdfkillz said you should have enough self control that you dont have to look at them i never did maybe my first ****** time then i realized wow i should def be paying attention to the whoolie and not the gauges

Re: Clutch wheelies
