I went to an empty church parking lot and just kept going back and forth and finally got it kinda figured out. I didn't get it high and I couldn't ride it but it's a start and it was a blast!

that how-to post by f4rider was what really helped me get it. thanks man

 

yeah it took me awhile to start getting em higher on the 250. i would just dump the clutch @ 11k and it would come up but go down.. I kept forgetting to throw the throttle all the way open. good luck learning more!

 

yup, once you drop the clutch keep the throttle at 3/4 open or so, if you stop giving it gas then you won't go anywhere.

 

what gear were you mostly in when you tried it? I've usually tried it in 2nd or 3rd and the engine just sounds like its workin way hard so im not sure if im doing it the best way.

 

congrats! Learning to do wheelies is a lot of fun. Just take your time....and always cover the rear brake(in case you start to loop, just hit the brake). It will save your butt!

sup paw paw!!! heh
i am on 250 so only first !!!!!!!!!!! looking @ tradin it in for 6r since parents won't go for 1000 even though I ride one almost every day(friends house)!

So how long was it from when you guys started riding until ya'll got the hang of doing a wheelie? I rode for my first time ever the first weekend of August. One friend tells me I'm trying to wheelie too soon and that I should get more riding time before I try again and another friend just told me to go for it. what's your guys' opinions?

 

i say just listen to ur instincts and if u REALLY wanna learn nothing anyone can say or do will stop you i started doing wheelies like right when i got my bike and after about 2 weeks i could ride them out about a 1/2 mile but im sure its easier for me cuz im a cheater and have a liter bike

 

I started riding about 4 months ago and am just now starting to get 1st gear BP for about 3-4 blocks.
Just take your time and learn at your own pace, things can go bad in a hurry if you get to excited ive had a couple close calls.

My sig isnt a BP wheelie but its one we got on film and only one i got hah
Heres a pic of me doing a wheelie 2 days after i got the bike :YEAH

 

but that F2 looks super clean

 

thanks, theres a better pic in my photo gallery of it, it is very clean. it had fresh paint about 4000 miles ago, but yeah i layed it down on both sides now (**** happens) so its alittle scratched up but still in very good condition.
