Ok I am so frustrated right now.... I was out with the boys for 6 hours riding around and tried to get the front end up, just throttling it in first and I just couldn't get it up---wtf am I doing wrong? I let it get up to between 6 and 8 rpms then let off and then hammer back on the throttle but it just won't come off the ground. Any suggestions? I have an f4 so it should come up. I would like to clutch it up but still too nervous to try it like that---- do I just need to keep practicing? Thanks Ali

 

keep trying.......take lots of pratice. your timing has to be right, make sure that you are rolling back on the throttle as the front end of the bike is coming back up from the compression.

 

PWEASE, PWEASE be careful!!!!!!!

 

Just keep practicin'. It'll come to you, but PLEASE, don't rush things. I've seen too many accidents AND death because people wantd to hurry up the process. Just be careful...

 

Thats exactly how I've been told to do it and I have and F4i and I can't get it to come up either. I've had 3 accident wheelies. One comeing out of a corner, one shifting to second and letting the clutch out to quick and the other was last Friday racing off the green light and letting the clutch out to early. That clutch thing bothers me too. My husband likes using the clutch he says he can judge it more but I'm afraid its gonna take me off gaurd.

 

I've been riding for 2 years and still not ready for all that... i will on a fiddy or a TTR if anyone wants to loan me one

 

I sometimes wish i had my old GS500. Cuz I wouldn't be so scared to try it on that. You do have to clutch that sumbitch but the power is completely diffrent.

 

Plz, be careful. I've been riding about 4mths. I thought about stuntin, but I know I need more time under my belt just riding. Don't know if I will ever do it, but will see if that urge is strong enough..

Some posts from other riders advise to take ur time, practice, and have patience.(don't rush it)

Stay and safe.

 

did you finally get that operation then? SUCKA

 

sclevela --- Ive seen what you do and it scares me

Also you are from NY j/k - my roomie is from your home town - but the last thing I need is another guy to take care of --SORRY been there done that

I think I will just keep practicing - like most guys - it takes a while to get it up !!!

 

I am fairly new to the site, but I just wanted to say, 1.) be very very careful... i've lost some guys pretty recently, and I can't stand to lose any more. 2.) Make sure you are bouncing the front end. On my gixxer, I have to do this... on the gas, off real quick, it will make it "bounce", when the front end starts to go back down after you let off the throttle, then yank the gas, not so much to loop it though. Just try little bounces, maybe let the r's run a little higher too. I know that mine has to be up between 9 and 10 r's to feel the front end come up. But like everyone said, start small... then work up to the 12 o'clockers

Ride safe!

 

ali you retard!!!!! I told you the problem a long time ago BUY A SUZUKI and all your problems will go away. LOVE from PA

 

ali jixxer02 has a point. ur f4 is a good bike, the f4i is a wheelie riding bike, but for a starter a gsxr-600 is the best and easiest to learn tricks on and they r light and e-z to get up unlike most men.

 

I'm not a female, but I am trying to learn to stunt, I've been riding for about three months, and found the easiest way to get the wheel up, is load the shocks...I think someone already posted that though...I too have a 2002 GSX-R600.

 

I first started on a 97 yamaha fzr600, this bike is preeetty crappy but was easy to learn on, I only had it for 3 months before I got my r1 but I did attempt to wheelie it, the only way I got it up and it wasn't even that far was to accelerate right after you decelerate, like get the rpms up to about 6000+, I would grab the throttle fairly quickly just enough to get the rpms up a lil bit more then close the throttle, which will make the rpms go down and slow you a little too, then gas it right after that decel but its all about timing because you do this all in a quick smooth action accel-decel-accel, part of when you first grab the gas then close it will make the front end go up on the gas then down suddenly when you close it right when the front goes down you gas it again, which in a way gets you a little bounce. I tried clutching it too but its always a little sketchy and unpredictable, you really need to know your bike and yourself for clutching also location is really important, I always felt so much more comfortable at our "wheelie road", you dont have to worry about traffic, or strange objects or liquids or bumps in the roads coming up (if you find a nice wheelie road that is) I always feel much more confident when doing it with a large group of people around me, especially others who know how to do it, that way they can immediatly tell me what Im doin wrong and how to improve and to help me if I fell good luck !!

 

I am in NO way good at wheelies, yet. However from talking to everyone that I have here, at Stuntlife, the biggest help I've had so far with wheelies is simply body position. When you try to wheelie, how do you sit on the seat? Are you right up on the tank or farther back? I've found that if I scoot my a$$ back all the way, the front is ready to rock. I've only just really started to discover this fact but it's becoming more fun to try wheelies. Hope my 2 cents helps a little.

 

hey all. i'm new to this whole thing and i was wonderin if any of you girls had any beginners tips for me. i've been playin around on my friends r6 and i like that bike but i don't know what kind i want.anysuggestions? email me twisted4u03@yahoo.com:
