So here's the deal; I have read all the stickies, and asked friends who stunt... but I can't bring up the wheel for the life of me! I've got an all stock '02 F4i. I've manages to power one up about 6 inches, but that's it. I'm almost positive I'm doing everything correct, and I know my bike is running great.... what could it be?

 

Are you using the clutch?

 

I know clutching would bring it up,, but I'm scared shitless of it, lol. I've gotten it a couple inches up with clutch, but it jerks up quick and my instincts close the throttle. I'm worried about looping it, so I've been trying to get better at power wheelies. Should I say **** it and just start low-speed clutch-wheelies?

 

yes .

 

well u gotta get over the fear factor, are you even goin fast enough ... and torque wheelies are straight forward no throttle guessing just rip that shyt

 

Yeah so now I have a new problem. I can clutch it when I'm sitting down with my left foot on the back peg, but I can't seem to force myself to stand up when it comes up. I feel like the bike is going to fly out from under me, and when I do stand up I give it too much throttle. Ugh! Advice? Has anybody had this problem?

 

get comfortable with your bike. nothing we tell you on here is going to translate into muscle memory. you dont need any advice you need to ride.

 

Practice Practice... your main thing thats ******* you up, is your fear of ******* up your bike...if you **** up, look at the bright side you now have a nice new stunt bike.

 

No one can help you with anything about you being scared... Just go ride

 

Yeah sounds like a decent plan to me. Thanks y'all.

 

The fear is what is holding u back bro. U jus gotta go for it and cover that rear break. Also dun worry bout ur bike. Gettin into stunting is rough invest in some zip ties lol they r my new best friends. Keep tryin and good luck u will get it.

 

I think I'm going to Rhinoline every piece of my bike possible, lol.

 

put a fat chic on the back.

 

hard to learn on a minty bike.. i took my F3, caged it and now i'm slowing down firsts, its been just a few months since i learned to first clutch up a 2nd gear

 

i have the exact same problem ,, all you got to do is stay on the throttle for aN extra sec longer that you have been doing it.I WORKS most of the time until its gets scary.. youll go over that

 

Fear is your problem, put your right knee in the seat, and left leg on the back peg. Then practice getting it up in 1st just a little higher each time. This position allows you to lean forward if you feel your gonna go over backward. You gotta lean back. Or just crash your **** and then you wont care about the bike anymore, thats how the rest of us learned how to ride, by not caring.

 

Oh I forgot to mention you HAVE to clutch it up, thats the only way to control a wheelie if you wanna get to balance point

 

**** me! The knee in the seat thing is great! That's been helping me out so much.

 

ur screaming that to a bunch of guys?

 

Doesn't matter if I say it to a bunch of guys unless they are a bunch of homos. Are YOU a homo? Because I'm sure as hell not a woman!
