Let me just say sorry if this has already been posted before but I looked and couldn't find any information on this, but I am fairly new on doing wheelies and I used to power it up but that sucked so I learned how to clutch it up and it get's up way easier. I have a hondamatic 929, I was wondering when I clutch it up in 1st or second and it comes up are you all using your rear brake to adjust the heigth or are you using the throttle??? When I try to do the throttle, sometimes I realease the throttle just alittle and bam...The front end comes down hard. I can get the front end up about 3 feet but I want to learn getting them up higher...but my ***** are too small and I dont want to loop it...any advice would be helpful, Thanks playa's :YEAH

 

It all comes down to practice practice practice. You just have to get use to the feeling of not having 2 wheeles on the ground and having the bike @ an angle. I just starting wheeliing about 3-4 months ago, just starting riding about 5-6 months ago. I was asking the same question, but I kept doing wheelies, keeping them low and then I was geting use to the height, and I got more confident and kept getting higher and higher, then I hit the beginning of the balance point a few times and scared the crap out of me. Then I started doin standing wheelies. Now I can pop it up doin about 15mph and ride it out till 70mph in first. I haven't got use to the throttle control when being up so high. I bring it up to the bs about 85 percent of the time. Just starting getting use to riding in the bs to keep a constant speed. But it all comes down to practice practice practice. About the rear brake. Keep it covered for emergencies, but when in first on my 02 gixxer 600 I close the throttle quickly and my front end comes down quick. So don't worry about looping it. Take it slow and you will get use to it. 3-4 months later after starting I can clutch it anywheres in first and pop it straight up with no worries when I first started I only could power throttle it within the powerband and take it off the ground a foot and being scared.

You will get use to it. take it slow and it will become like a second nature.

This is from a new stunter so I know how you feel.

 

Quite exceptional for your first post.......... but you could have stopped at

Practice practice practice......
Once youget to balance point and start getting on the brake a little, you should turn your idle up to 3K and this will help you to smooth out you slow stuff. I sometimes rock a hig Idle when doing street stuff too.

 

that was a great first post way not to be like everyone else on the site

 

If your not good at doing wheelies .....then start practicing how to crash you'll def get good at one or the other

 

F*ck it, just do ur thing Foo, it'll come to U~

 

Thanks for the feed back ya'll. Ya, I always try to practice here and there but you know it all comes down to grabbing your nuts and going for it. Laterz

 

Hey, what's up with the "hondamatic????" I thought they only made those like, 400cc back in 77 or something.
