what is YOUR preferred clutch method?

method 1:

rev....keep revving, quickly disengage and engage.

method 2.

get rolling....disengage....rev up...engage

wadda you prefer? 1 or two?

...i personally prefer 2 because thats how i learned and i'm used to it tho i see most stunters doing method 1 so i'm thinking about switching over to it....wanna learn standups along the way also....i just figured out the 1st method last night...

note: i can't do a wheelie myself....i can pop it up but i can't ride it out.

If you can doo one then you should be able to do both......there the same motion just different excecution

It should always be one smooth motion either was

Re: what is YOUR preferred clutch method?

depends on what your doing...if you want to catch some speed for a coaster for example, you ain't gonna pop it up from dead stop, (meaning REV, DROP) but get rolling and rev-slip clutch...if you wanna pop it up fast and roll slow, than you rev and drop from dead stop...

well, when i do method 1, its kind of unpresidtable cause it revs up really fast and i don't really know where i'm gonna end up.

wadda you mean by that?

whenever i go to the stunt spot, the ones popin wheelies always rev once and dump the clutch.

but when i'm doing method 2...i usually rev a few times(1-3) to kind of make it accurate and get it to around around 9-10k rpm and THEN i dump the clutch....am i doing it wrong?

Re: what is YOUR preferred clutch method?

I learned with method 1. IMO it has less steps so its easier. Just roll-on and flick the clutch in and out with one finger. If the bike didnt come up give it more gas on the roll-on.

lol, ok....it just seems to me that the other method can be very unpredictable but since you guys are the ones who actually know how to wheelie, i will take your advice.

Re: what is YOUR preferred clutch method?

i pulled my highest wheelie today....sitting down, 20psi rear, rolling 10, reved up to 10or11 and popped theclutch...the bike flew off, i thought i was gonna loop it but i killed the gas and i slammed down...

i think it was an 11 o'clock....but maybe thats just how it feels in my head.

also got pulled over by the cops...me + my friend with his 110cc pocket bike....no ticket but they said that a bunch of the neighbors called and said that we were "disturbing them"......right when i dropped from a 9o'clock wheelie (stop sign), i saw the cop, i pulled over to the side-walk as if i was parking and he came up to us.....lucky there was a 18 wheeler parked on the side so they didn't see me doing the wheelie or else i woulda gotten the ticket.......i was so happy when they left.

Re: what is YOUR preferred clutch method?

i tend to get most of mine going from a standstill so have the clutch in and slip it out whilst giving it a very small amount of gas and pull on the bars so bike sounds like its coming up on its own. i practiced for a long time just coming to a stop and then staying there for as long as poss till i had to launch it gives you alot of control like that and helps when trying to find idle.
