Slip the clutch and flick the throttle @ the same time. Its a timing thing.

Pull the clutch in until its right at the sweet spot of disengaging, then simultaniously flick your thottle hand.. it should be one smooth motion. In motorcross people call it feathering the clutch and a throttle chop. You might also invest in -1 tooth up front.

 

thanks now should i be hammering on the throttle while releasing the clutch

 

more throttle :YEAH

 

i was having problems when i first started...all u have to do is go about 55-65 kmph and pull the clutch in with one finger, rev the engin up and release the clutch and stay on the throttle or give it more throttle...start with a little rev then increase as u get more comfortable and then when u are u ll be hammering them like its nothing...practice practice practice...and dont forget to COVER UR REAR BRAKE!!!

 

read the sticky at the top of the forum for learning wheelies.... or do a search, there is like 453 questions on this every day... or just go out and keep practicing, thats the only way your gonna get it...

 

there's your solution, but if it still doesn't come up (for some reason ), give it more gas when your clutch is close to engaging, near the end of the slip.

 

THANKS A LOT. YOU GUYS :YEAH
I WILL BE PRACTICING

 

Newbie here,,-=-=ok look ...I still cant wheelie very good and it pisses me off too..either of my brothers could clutch the bike up in second and keep it up going thru the gears..i hopped on and couldn't get it up for ****..Im heavier than they are, so i adjusted my rear shock preload a little tighter to fight a little sag off, scooted my *** back to the passenger hump, locked my arms almost straight (have a tendency to lean into it, bringing it down) rolled in 2cd till bout 6500, pulled the clutch in quickly, 3/4th throttle...completely slipped fingers off clutch..(DUMP)...presto..up nice and high till i get scared and bang my rucksack off the tank...least they are coming up now. Yesterday i went down 1 front and up 3 rear (chain needed replacing anyways)...put in cheap *** ebc kevlar clutch kit and springs and roughed up the steels...no prob to clutch up 3rd gear ones now if I want...if only i can grow enough sack to KEEP them up there. :P practice practice practice.... bike is ragged out 1997 f3 with NO plastic (bought for 500$) READ:perfect for me to learn on..


nice to meet you all B>T>W> longtime lurker here...
