What the crap. I have tried to wheelie my gix 750 some and now have an F4i. I spent about 30 minutes playin around trying to get bp on Saturday now my legs and arms are sore. I feel like i have hit the gym. Was i holdin on too tight . I have read a lot of different threads on learning to wheelie. When putting your left foot on the rear peg, do i need to try to stand with my knee locked. I never could get comfortable standing, i looked like i was trying to take a crap hoving over my seat . Also, it has the factory pipe and i scraped it once, how far past bp was i, it that very close. and no, i didnt wreck............yet

 

my guess, you were bringing it down too hard. mousetrap enough times and your whole arms (especially your wrists) will be sore. Also, I doubt you scraped the pipe and still don't know if you've hit bp. When you hit bp, you know something's up.

 

i rode for like 3 hours saturday night and my legs are still sore monday-circle practice!!

 

being sore after riding has always been normal to me, wait till you start highsiding, talk about fun

 

clutch finger aches, throttle hand numb, sore back, its all part of just riding in general, any bike really, you just gotta get used to it and try stretching before you ride or loosen up a little and do them wheelies slow and steady

 

I was definitely bringing it down too hard. I did scrape the pipe but my inexperiance allows me to be ignorant to the bp. I did ride out a couple of times without being on the throttle too heavy. Definitely need more practice. I ride to work anytime it is over 40 so my hands and back are use to some extra strain.

 

+1

 

i went out for a little practice today and i have a fracture in my right hand it's getting rebrokin and casted tomm. that is going to suck

 

are you that tough or just that crazy

 

the more u ride the easier itll be on you, assuming you dont crash a lot

 

should i have my left knee locked when that foot is on the rear peg? Do i need to be standing and looking over the front end???

 

when i first read the topic name, it reminded me of my daily valtrex now were is my Mountain bike at?
