clutch or not to clutch

i was just woundering if any one could tell me if its better to clutch up a wheelie or power it up, as of right now i can power them up much better than i can clutch them but if clutching is better ill just learn to do that.

its safer, more controlled once you figure it out, pow pow power wheelies are to unpredictable, learn to clutch and cover the rear brake

IT'S ALL PREFERENCE, dont ask people what is better. Do what you like more! Get it up however you want. With skill and practice, they can both be just as safe as the other.

Re: clutch or not to clutch

If your bike can get up and you can control it with power use that, less wear on yoru clutch. If not just clutch it, won't do anything that it's not meant to. It dosent really matter but like Judd said, it's easier to control it with the clutch. I for one prefer to clutch the bike up.

Powa woolies are for highway if you want because powa woolies usually add speed to the wheelie since that power is meant to propel the bike forward not vertically.

Clutch is the way for more control but do as you feel comfortable and have fun while being safe.

Always cover your rear brake! It will save your life.
