clutch wheelie
I am new to this forum so first of all hi. I have just started stunting and don't have anyone to show me whats up in person. I have a 929 and power wheelies are no problem but I am having a problem with the clutch wheelie. I have read in many place and in this forum that clutch wheelies are the best way to wheelie, but no one tell exactly how to do it. I have tried and all I do is over rev or something stupid like that. Everybody makes it sound easy but yet I am having a problem. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanx

Re: clutch wheelie
Here is clutch wheelies 1.0.1 for new riders.. Clutch wuulies are all about sound.. The principle of a clutch wheelie is the same as a power one, the only difference is you pull in the clutch.. Soo with this being said,, go out in second gear, get it to about 4000 rpms,, then pull in the clutch and whack the gas,, now the secret is, listening to how loud its getting before you pop the clutch.. For highway wheelies you have to let the rpms come up alot more, but if your in first gear just a little bit.. Dont slip the clutch out,, just let it go..The trick is getting how fast you drop the clutch the same everytime, if you slip it out, then you will need almost twice the rpm to get the same height.. Only use one finger,, two at most.. The more fingers you have on the handle bar the better off you are.. Just go out and practice leaning what sound brings the wheelie up how high.. The goal is to pop it up with the clutch about 75% of the way and power up the rest.. Its all about practice.. And being consistant on the pop..

Re: clutch wheelie
The best way to learn it is go hang out in the lot and watch others do it. You can see and hear what they do and pick it up from there. Most people are happy to help you learn so just ask. Log on to the state forums and find some people in your area.

Re: clutch wheelie
i'm sortof new to the clutching thing myself. i know how to do it and all,
but the way i learned was to power wheelie. i can power a wheelie up from the highway and from almost a standstill. this left me questioning myself for awhile that if it can be done this way then why isnt it? why is 99% of the population clutching it up?
i have heard all the reasons and none of them seem to make any sense to me.

learning how to clutch just takes practice. when you get it down, all your stuff will be better and easier

Re: clutch wheelie
It's weird I completely agree clutching is the only way to do it, BUT I have actually watched dave do it from damn near a stop and have it at balance point almost immedietly. I think if he learns clutch control it will help him in numerous tricks and he will snap it to the BP even faster, but he has a method that works almost as good as the clutch.

Re: clutch wheelie
You heard them Dave, I've told you to clutch it up from the begining. Quit being a ({}) and clutch it up. Oh yeah and when you come back from your 6 month deployment I'll show you how to roll those circles! Hahahahaha.
