Re: Complete guide for learning basic wheelies the right way
I had an ex250 for my first bike and yes...it does wheelie...infact my boys and i turned it into a complete stunt bike! It was the **** for the shot time that it lasted, haha. Did everything from stoppies to 12's .... just didn't have enough power to do high chairs or anything involving you sitting on the tank...it was PIMP!

Re: Complete guide for learning basic wheelies the right way I have a 2005 yamaha R6 with a slipper clutch. Can this affect how to perform a wheelie? Sometimes it seems like the bike will jump right up and other times it feels like the slipper is keeping the power from bringing it up. I rev it up really high before dropping the clutch. Comments or advice on the subject would be greatly appreiciated.

pow, pow power wheelies is the best way to learn how the scooter will react and by doing this and not using the clutch you will definately have more control of (looping) you bike

Re: Complete guide for learning basic wheelies the right way
slipper clutches only affect downshifting, and they just protect the clutch in higher RPMs, wont affect wheelies at all, and only needed in race environments..but they are cool!

Re: Complete guide for learning basic wheelies the right way
"It is the slow wheelies that you have to consciously balance side to side. The principle is pretty simple. Quickly lean the same direction as the bike is falling. For example, if the bike is starting to fall to the left, you would quickly lean to the left. This movement would twist the bike towards the left, thereby correcting it."
I'm still learning this technique, can anybody chime in here to help me out, I'm lifting them up slow, and not having a problem balancing, but side to side is pissing me off! Keeps wobbling dirty, I'm workin on smoother throttle, but I guess I'm not moving around on the bike enouph

Re: Complete guide for learning basic wheelies the right way
oh yeah, dont wanna step on any toes, but the 05' R6 doesnt have a slipper clutch.
the new 06 R6, and the limited 06 R1 have the slipper clutch.
