Re: Slow Wheelies
High idle really helps while learning, but becomes a crutch later. I reccommend trying to rock with the idle up to get used to rear brake control without haveing to worry about throttle control at the same time, once you get good at that, then turn the idle back down and get the throttle control as well.
plus you have to have some idle to do no handers and those are pimp

But in order for it to catch the idle, dont ya gotta have at BP or behind?? I dont have my cluster on, so I no longer know how high my rpms are set at when on idle.. Just try to go off engine noise when turning the idle up..

Re: Slow Wheelies
dude, youre rockin em nice!!!!!
i'll throw my 2 cents in on how i do mine. 5 mph and vroom it comes right up, but IMMEDIATELY im at like 55mph or so. thats wack. i think im gonna go 12+ in teh back to slow it down. i dont ride my brake when coming up, mayeb i should try that. for some reason i dont think about teh brake till im actually up there. i cant wait to get em liek you man, keep it up...literally :YEAH

Re: Slow Wheelies
Turning the idle up made a big difference for me for learning the brake.
I do not use the brake on the way up...I did at first and it made things harder. I clutch it up an when it gets very high (bp or beyond) then I apply the rear brake.

I am no expert and am still learning myself, but trying to help with my experience.
Good luck

Re: Slow Wheelies
12 bar is not necessary for slow wheelies, but it is good as a "just in case" knda like a cage for your tail. But after you learn how to slow down, you will likely want to scrape as well.
