i will try and try to wheelie my k7 750 with stock gearing on it and all it will do is spin the tire. i will ride for a about an hour and the burn the tire for a minute to make shore it is warmed up but every single time i try to clutch it up the back wheel just spins. i have a tire on the back with probably a little over 200 miles on it so i would assume its good and broke in. the front wheel wont come up for nothing no matter what gear. can any one offer some advice? i just bought a new rear sprocket +10 in the back but havent put it on yet. if i put that on would it help at all or will i still have the same problem. any advice would be awesome.

 

ps. i have a batlle axe bt 104

 

one thing that might help you get that wheelie up is maybe give it a blip of the trottle before you clutch it up to get the rpms up just a little faster... the reason your tire is spinning is because your not letting the rpms get high enough before you let out the clutch so try holding the trottle just a little longer at the rpm you want then dump that clutch... you are probably just cracking the trottle then dumping clutch before the rpms are high enough to bring your wheel up so give that a try... your tire is good, and you can wheelie with a stock sprocket. so give it a shot

 

maybe theres too much air in your tire....that happened to me when i did a tire change, all how i tried bike cudnt go up, tire was rock hard. try airing it down a lil

 

i lowered the pressure to around 17 but ill work with the rpms. will the sprocket change help me or make my problem worst? im going 10 up in the rear

 

well the larger sprocket will probably make it easier but i think the larger just makes everything smoother AFTER youve already gotten the bike to bp

 

1. tire pressure
2. higher rpms before dumping the clutch

 

alright thanks. i love this bike but i dont think it was the best choice for a squid stunt bike but ima tough it out

 

its not the bike man

there are plenty of guys who stunt the 06/07s
i used to rock fat wheelies on my 06 600

dont put the sprocket it on yet it will just make ur mistake more apparent

check your tire pressure i run 28psi in the rear

get your weight back and remember to SLIP your clutch

and practice practice practice

good luck man

 

why did you switch bikes? i take it your stunting on that 636?

 

Best advice in the post. It's not the bike, it's your technique. Try to slip the clutch more like Yamifanatic said.

 

the bike doesnt come up when i do that it just sucks to the ground

 

I run 15- 18 Psi and never have any probs. The lower air pressure helps to go straight. You def have to Rev it up first. Around 4k on a 750 and she will lift right up

 

well when i rev it up that high it just spins and doesnt come up. i went up 10 in the rear last friday and that helps get it up just by turning the throttle. i dont know if its just the bike or whether i just have terrible clutch control.

 

turn your idle up to about 3-3.5k, tire pressure to 15, crack throttle, let rpms get a higher compress front forks, release clutch... wheelie

 

when your idle is turned up, you should be goin pretty slow around 20 km/h (im from canada) so it will pretty much be just pulling you so you arnt using any throttle till you pull in clutch then crack it then slip clutch... done

 

so all i have to do is turn the idle up and that will help me out quite a bit?

 

the idle wont improve your wheelies

how fast are you trying to start them at

step one practice
step 2 practice
step 3 practice

i wouldnt have gone to a +10 so soon its just gonna make second feel like first gear now

first day i wheelied i spent like 5 hours doing clutch ups and by the end of the day they still sucked

in short you are 17 you probably have a few months of riding under your belt so its short enough to say you need practice
dont take it as a diss its just helpful criticism

you need work on your clutch control and your throttle control

 

alright thanks doeg. ill put some serious practice in

 

I had a problem like this and I took care of it by proper technique I scooted way back to my back seat and made sure I absolutely did not shift my weight forward because if I started forward my tire spun and if I shifted forward it topped the forks out then the back wheel just spun.
