im workin on my clutch wheelies and it seems like 9 times outta 10 instead of getting the wheel up all my back tire does is break loose and start spinning help me out ya'll i know im not the first person this has happened to i read the sticky on wheelies but it doesnt mention this problem so let me know what to do

 

whenever i have that problem its usually just a cold tire. i usuallly just ride around for a while,do a quick burnout, or go skid around

 

must be one of three things or a combination of them 1.your tires cold
2.you need a new tire
3.you need to sit back a lil

 

yup new tire, or warm that bish up.

My dunlop 208 (hate em) stay cold as hell esspeacially lately with this cold weather (expected) but after a small little burnout to warm them up im good to go

 

I'd check the condition of the tire too cause I can pretty much clutch a wheelie in sub freezing temperatures on cold tires if they still have tread. It spins at first but catches.

 

every time i hit the road i feel my tire with my hand, it it doesn't feel warmer then my hand i tuck the bike like a mother ****er at like 5mph and dump that clutch n lay a huge snake line on public roads. i run a michelin take off on the rear, hella sticky and stable tire. i'll never buy a new tire again. only thing bad about the ones i get, they were hella knee dragged and i gotta run 15psi to stay off the side wall, much better then snaking a stand up in my book ya know

 

Lean back.

 

yeah i understand the cold thing, but i live in texas and even after i ride around for a while it still spins like a mother F@$^er and its not the tread cuz the tire is basically new so ill try the lean back thing today and then if that doesnt work ill prolly just light up a burnout to see if i get any better results but if yall have any other advice let me know. thanks

 

hey what gear you in anyway?

 

let psi out+lean back=more contact patch=less spinnage

 

like kyle said lean back....
sit all the way back in your seat.... :YEAH

 

Lean back, and also drop your tire pressure to like 10PSI, that seems to work for me, Just dont try to haul azz around corners .

 

to who asked about what gear im just working on first gear for now

 

if your in first power that sucker up.....i do that in first and clutch in second..... .....i have an 03 gixxer 6 that im doing it on

 

where u ride at and with who ... me and some buddies have a pretty good stop we go and practice on the weekends unless you have some good ones

 

Buy a new tire, spend a little cash. I have a bridgestone 020 and i can tank wheelie on cold tires. I hate dunlops. Especially the 207's and 208's. they just came out with a new one that looks sweet but i wouldnt waste your money. Go with a Michelin Pilot or Bridgestone Batalax. Oh and never buy a Perelli for stunting. Thier also crappy tires.

 

you're one lying sack of ****.

 

yeah, what's new?


(i was gone for about 1 month, what happened to his gixxer, and why does he have a 954?)

 

hes had the 954 for a few months now. but it still has some trouble in 2nd pow pow pow pow powa wheeeeeeelie

 

lean back if your sitting down, if your standing give her a lil' bouce as you clutch it. i run my back tires till they fall off, clutching just takes getting used to. once you get it, it wont matter if the tire is bald or even if its cold. and i still consider that tire to have alot of life left on it...
